What is Green Planet Horti Bloom and what does 5-15-26 mean?
Green Planet Horti Bloom is a dry, water-soluble base nutrient for early to mid-flowering. The 5-15-26 NPK means it’s low in nitrogen and high in phosphorus and potassium—ideal for bud set, bulking, and floral development during bloom.
Can I use Green Planet Horti Bloom in hydro, coco, and soil?
Yes—it’s suitable for all grow mediums, including hydroponics, coco coir, and soil. It also works in DWC, drip systems, and recirculating setups, as long as it's fully dissolved and you monitor EC and filtration.
How do I mix Green Planet Horti Bloom?
Always add it to water (not the other way around), stir until fully dissolved, and use room-temperature water for quicker mixing. Avoid combining it with other dry salts before dilution to prevent crystallisation or clogging issues.
How much Green Planet Horti Bloom should I use?
The quick-start dose is 0.71g per litre, or about 2.7g per US gallon. Working ranges vary from 1.5–2.5g/L depending on plant size and environment. Always use a scale, measure EC, and start low to avoid overfeeding.
What results can I expect from Green Planet Horti Bloom?
It supports early bud development, flower density, and healthy structure. Many growers report stronger bud set and flower stacking, but final results also depend on environment, genetics, and your overall program.
Can I use Green Planet Horti Bloom with Cal-Mag and other additives?
Yes. It includes magnesium but not calcium, so Cal-Mag may still be needed, especially with soft or RO water. Avoid mixing concentrated Cal products directly with undiluted Horti Bloom to prevent precipitation.
Can Green Planet Horti Bloom cause nutrient burn or lockout?
It can if overused. Signs include burnt tips, dark rigid leaves, or stalled growth. High PK can spike EC quickly—especially in coco or warm rooms. Start low, increase gradually, and watch plant response and runoff EC.
Do I need to flush when switching to a late-bloom finisher?
A light flush or clean transition helps prevent PK buildup when moving to a finisher. At the end of flowering, many growers flush again to reduce salt levels and improve final quality. Adjust based on your crop and feeding intensity.
Will Green Planet Horti Bloom clog drippers or leave residue?
It’s formulated to be clean and irrigation-friendly. However, poor mixing, cold water, or incompatible concentrates can cause undissolved granules. Mix thoroughly and use filters in drip systems for best results.
Is Green Planet Horti Bloom beginner-friendly?
Yes—if you measure properly and monitor EC. Beginners should start at the low end of the dose range, observe leaf tips and runoff, and avoid stacking too many PK boosters at once.
How should I store Green Planet Horti Bloom?
Store it sealed, cool, and dry. Moisture causes clumping and reduces solubility. If it does clump, break it up before use. Dry fertilisers like this can last years if kept properly stored.
Is Green Planet Horti Bloom safe around pets and children?
It’s not toxic but should be treated like any fertiliser—store it securely, avoid dust inhalation, wash hands after handling, and clean up spills with water instead of sweeping dry powder into the air.
What if I accidentally spill Green Planet Horti Bloom?
Sweep gently to avoid kicking up dust, then wipe the area with water. Don’t let it sit on damp concrete or grow surfaces, where it may absorb moisture and become slippery or corrosive.
Why is Green Planet Horti Bloom labelled “free from fillers or contaminants”?
It contains only plant-usable nutrients—no excess bulking agents, grit, or sediment. This makes it more efficient and cleaner for reservoirs, irrigation systems, and consistent dosing.
Why is Green Planet Horti Bloom considered good value?
Because it’s a dry concentrate, you’re not paying for water like with liquids. Dosed by weight, it offers more feeds per dollar, takes less space to store, and is more cost-effective over time.
