Frequently Asked Questions

What plants is this Bloom formula built for?

It's specially formulated for small container greenhouse plants. Its longer 5-6 month release window suits a longer production cycle than the shorter-duration Bloom option.

Why does the low phosphorus ratio matter?

The low phosphorus / high potassium ratio promotes compact growth, which matters in small containers where oversized growth becomes a saleability problem. That ratio is a deliberate growth-habit control, not just a nutrition choice.

How does the small prill size help nutrient distribution?

With a small prill size, this formula ensures even distribution of nutrition in the root zone. That evenness matters more in small containers, where a coarser prill could leave uneven pockets of nutrient concentration.

What micronutrients are included in the coating?

The nitrogen, phosphate, potash, magnesium, sulfur, boron, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and a portion of the zinc sources are coated to provide a fully rounded slow-release micronutrient package. See the product label for the full list of coated release rates and application guidance.

What size and packaging is this listing?

It ships as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, matched to its longer 5-6 month release window. That volume suits commercial greenhouse production of small container plants.
