Description

From the producers of the ever-popular Bloombastic, is a very highly concentrated root stimulator that delivers impressive results whilst offering excellent value for money.

  • Massive root production
  • Increase resistance to disease and environmental stress
  • Can be used in any growing system
  • Ideal for use with any nutrient schedule/brand.

For use for a 3-week period in the vegetative phase, once your plant has 2 long roots, it contains a unique combination of high NPK, bio-stimulants, and bio-minerals that drives very strong root growth which will in turn allow your plants to flower/fruit to their full potential. Rootbastic contains relatively high NPK levels for a root stimulator, especially phosphorus (P). However, once roots are 2 long, this element becomes the most important - phosphorus ensures the transport and storage of energy and forms an important part of building elements in cells and DNA, crucial to building a healthy and strong root system, which is crucial to crop quality and success. On top of all of this, Rootbastic will help to increase resistance to root disease, and protect against environmental stress, ensuring your plant is strong and healthy to grow maximise its full potential. How to use:

  • Use for the first 3 weeks of the vegetative phase - Week 1 - 0.1ml per litre, week 2 - 0.2ml per litre, week 3 - 0.3ml per litre.
  • Please refer to the feed schedule for more information (see downloads below).

Best Practices:

  • Shake well before use.
  • Use clean measuring instruments--do not put anything into the bottle.
  • Monitor EC regularly and adjust accordingly based on crop and growth stage.
  • Store closed in original packaging at a temperature between 45° F and 85° F.

Composition: NPK 4-14-4

Rootbastic is a good product that delivers what it says it will, whilst offering excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Questions

How long do I use Rootbastic for?

Three weeks, at the start of the vegetative stage: 0.1, then 0.2, then 0.3 ml per litre.

Can I use it with another brand's nutrients?

Yes. It works with any nutrient schedule or brand, in any growing system.

Why does a root stimulator have so much phosphorus?

Phosphorus moves and stores energy in the plant and helps build new cells, which is what a growing root system needs.
