Humboldt Nutrients Verde - 5 Gal

Nitrogen-Forward Feeding for Vegetative Growth - 5 Gal

Plants in vegetative growth use a lot of nitrogen, and mixing several inputs to supply it adds steps and room for error. Verde is a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer with a 16-1-2 analysis, so most of its nutrient content is nitrogen, all of it urea nitrogen. It also supplies magnesium, iron and zinc, and it is derived in part from Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed.

This 5 Gal container suits growers who feed on a regular schedule, such as indoor gardeners running several plants or small commercial rooms. At 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water, a container this size covers many batches of nutrient solution.

Key Features & Benefits

• 16-1-2 analysis — puts nitrogen first for vegetative growth.
• Low dose rate — 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water makes each mix quick to measure.
• Secondary and micronutrients — includes magnesium, iron and zinc alongside N-P-K.
• Seaweed-derived ingredient — Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed is among the listed sources.

Who Should Use Verde

Growers who want a nitrogen-focused feed for vegetative growth, in hydroponic systems or other cultivation setups, and who go through enough nutrient to justify a 5 Gal container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much Verde do I use?
A: The general application rate is 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Start at the low end and adjust based on how your plants respond.

Q: What does 16-1-2 mean?
A: The three numbers are the percentages of nitrogen, phosphate (P2O5) and potash (K2O). Verde is high in nitrogen and low in the other two.

Q: What is urea nitrogen?
A: It is nitrogen supplied in the form of urea. On this product, all 16.00% of the total nitrogen is urea nitrogen.

Q: Does it contain micronutrients?
A: Yes. It lists magnesium at 0.75%, iron at 0.25% and zinc at 0.20%.

Q: Is it a complete nutrient program on its own?
A: It is labeled as a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer with a low phosphate and potash content. Many growers pair a nitrogen-forward feed with other inputs depending on the stage of growth.
