Description

Probably the most used propagation specific nutrient on the market, Formulex is a forgiving and simple to use one part nutrient for use with very young hydroponic plants.

Also works well as a balanced feed for early stages of growth in hydroponic systems, or as a full cycle feed for herbs and leafy greens in both hydro and soil.
