Description
Intense Kickstart is a complete nutrient containing all the necessary micro and macronutrients to give your plants the nourishment they need for healthy, vigorous growth early on.
Kickstart can be used to pre-soak your transplanting cubes (along with Intense Foundation or any other root stimulant) at a rate of 2ml/l, thereafter feed your plants at 3-4ml/l until they move onto the main base nutrient for their veg phase.
Available in 250ml, 1l and 5l sizes - this product offers an alternative to the likes of Formulex, Canna Start and Vitalink Plant Start.

How to use
- Pre-soak your transplanting cubes in water with 2 ml of Kickstart per litre, along with Intense Foundation or another root stimulant.
- Once the cuttings or seedlings are in, feed at 3 to 4 ml per litre.
- When the plants are growing on strongly, move them onto your main base nutrient for the vegetative stage.
Kickstart does the same job as Canna Start, Vitalink Plantstart and Formulex.
Questions
Why use a propagation feed rather than a weak grow feed?
A propagation feed is made for very young plants, with the full set of trace elements they need. A grow feed diluted down gives them less of those.
How long do I use Kickstart for?
From the pre-soak until the plants move onto their main base nutrient for the vegetative stage.
