complex mixing and will not clog drip emit-
ters. No fi ddling with pH adjustments, spend-
ing less time mixing and dosing, and not
having to deal with clogged emitters are ben-
efi ts that provide much more than just con-
venience. All of these benefi ts save time and
money, which, at the end of the day, leads
to a larger return on investment. Soil A+B
provides all of the nutritional needs in both
the vegetative and fl owering cycles to lay the
foundation for consistent, prolifi c harvests.
Hydro A+B
Hydro A+B is a professional, Dutch-style,
two-part nutrient specifi c for hydroponic
applications. Hydro A+B is designed to be
used throughout both the vegetative and
fl owering cycles without the need for any
complex mixing procedures. Most impres-
sively, the pH stability of Hydro A+B will only
require minimal pH adjustment. Unlike other
hydroponic nutrients, where the grower is
constantly adjusting the pH, a grower who
uses Hydro A+B by FloraMax is able to
concentrate his or her efforts on other im-
portant aspects of gardening. Arguably the
two most critical factors of a hydroponic
nutrient regimen are that it provides strong
pH stability and will not cause blockage or
build up in the hydroponic system. Hydro
A+B addresses both of these critical factors
and, again, saves the horticulturist’s time
and money.
Core Additives
In keeping with the theme of effective
ease of use, FloraMax has packed multi-
purpose functionality into just 4 core ad-
ditives. In combination with the nutrient
base, these additives assist a crop to achieve
its full potential. Notably, the additive suite
satisfi es more growth criteria than other nutri-
ent line-ups over twice the size. FloraMax’s
core additives include Root-XS, Flowering
Enhancer, Resin-XS, and OrganaBud.
Root-XS
Root-XS is designed to promote explo-
sive root development which accelerates
plant growth and helps achieve faster crop
rotations. Root-XS promotes root “hairs”
that are strong and healthy. This ensures
maximum nutrient uptake throughout all
stages of growth. With the addition of
Root-XS to a fertilizer regimen, plants can
be pushed harder, leading to faster crop
rotations. Root-XS helps negate stress,
especially at times of transplant or transi-
10
tion to new stages of growth. Like all FloraMax
products, Root-XS does not contain any PGRs
(plant growth regulators). Using Root-XS will
help gardeners grow plants with greener,
healthier foliage that exhibit less signs of
stress. Root-XS can be used as both a root
drench and/or a foliar spray.
Flowering Enhancer
Flowering Enhancer is a core addi-
tive that promotes strong and healthy fl oral
blooms. The carefully balanced combination
of potassium and phosphorus, along with
supplemented calcium and iron chelate,
helps strengthen plant structure during the
heavy fruiting/fl owering stage. One of the
biggest problems growers have during the
fl owering stage is a fl uctuation in pH which
negatively impacts fl ower density and overall
yield. Flowering Enhancer by FloraMax actu-
ally locks the pH below 6.5 in coco coir and
soil and minimizes the need for pH adjust-
ments in hydroponic systems. The pH locking
power of Flowering Enhancer prevents a
multitude of problems commonly associated
with other bloom enhancers, including leaf
curl, stunted growth, and withered fruit-set.
Many of the popular fl owering additives
cause the pH to rise well above 6.5, regard-
less of water quality. FloraMax Flowering
Enhancer allows a gardener to rest assured
that his or her pH will not rise above the
desired range and cause unwanted effects.
Instead, Flowering Enhancer will stabilize
pH levels and give the plants the extra
boost they need in the fl owering stage to
produce enormous fruits and fl owers.
Resin-XS
Resin-XS is a specialized fl owering additive
that is used in conjunction with “PK” additives.
Resin-XS aids in photosynthesis to improve
sugar content which, in turn, increases fl avors
and fruit/fl ower weight. In addition to im-
proving the plant’s ability to absorb water
and other nutrients, Resin-XS increases es-
sential oil production. Over the two years
of fi nal testing and commissioning, there
was no other additive capable of compet-
ing with Resin-XS. The ingredients found in
Resin-XS have been proven to be uniquely
stable, which means growers can rely on
consistent results at every harvest. FloraMax
test studies indicate over 30% improvement
in trichome population and independent
labs have verifi ed signifi cantly higher con-
centrations of essential and total oils than
