All of SHIVAS products are made from 100% bio-organic nutrients that are organically grown. Our "Veganic Dynamic Grow" amendments comes in the form of FPJs and are comprised of an all natural biological fruit and vegetable mixture and include "0" animal matter. And with the correct use of veganic-organic products, nutrient uptake should be closer to 100%. Our "Veganic-Bio Dry" amendments which is a mixture of differert organically grown dry fruits and vegetables, is a great way to improve soul structure and balance.
Below is a list of the best organic ingredients for your grow. The main nutrients that all plants need are as follows:
Primary – Major nutrients needed by all plants in large quantities- Nitrogen, Pohophorus, Potassium (K)
Secondary – Needed in smaller quantities- Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur
Micronutrients- Required but in small amounts- Boron, Copper, Iron, Maganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Zinc
In order to keep your plant well-fed, nourished and happy you will also need to invest in and use the nutrients listed below.
Mycorrhizal fungi - helps the plant develop strong roots, and recover from transplant shock.
Liquid Humic acid - derived from decayed organic matter, keeps the inner walls of the plant moist
Calcium - needed if using coco coir or hydroponics
Epsom salt - for magnesium
Monopotassium phosphate – promotes bigger buds.
Potassium sulfate –Potassium Sulfate (0-0-50), is an organic source of naturally occurring potassium rock that also contains 17% Sulfur
Triacontanol - a natural occurring growth hormone that helps produce bigger fruits and help plants grow faster.
Black Strap Molasses -
Blackstrap Molasses- rich in Phosphorus, Potassium, Iron, Calcium and Magnesuim
Yeast -
Yeast can also be added to an organic fertilizer mix to increase this beneficial microorganism in the soil. An organic fertilizer recipe would includes animal dung, brewer's yeast, seaweed, humate, meal such as corn meal or alfalfa meal and molasses. |
The following plants are part of our nutrient lineup |
Some of these plants like ginger and beans we actually grow ourselves and make our fertilizers. The trick is to know how to extract the nutrients from veggies, fruit or from grain. Below is a list of fruits and veggies that we use on all our plants,
lemon, lime, grapefruit, prunes, apples, pineapple, tangerines, peaches, cherries, strawberries... Almost all fruits can be fermented and used as liquid fertzilizer. |
