This means all the natural functions that occur during ripening ( bloom density , essential oil production , etc .) will be accentuated . Amino acids also help build the plant ’ s defences against various pathogens . Isolated enzyme formulas are also available and provide specific benefits to plants , such as root , flower , or essential oil stimulation .
• Liquid Carbohydrate Formulas — Supplementing a liquid carbohydrate formula during the entire blooming stage is advantageous but is especially so during the late blooming / ripening stage . Carbohydrates provide food for the beneficial microorganisms in the soil , which , in turn , help all plant functions . Increased carbohydrates have also been shown to stimulate essential oil production in many varieties of plants . Adding carbohydrates during the ripening stage will dramatically boost the final production of essential oils , leading to better aromas and flavours .
Outdoor growers are always on the hunt for ways to maximise flower and essential oil production . Although it is the vegetative and early flowering stages that provide the foundation for a successful ripening and harvest , the later stages of blooming is when the majority of the magic happens . A good organic living soil will provide adequate nutrition throughout the entire life cycle of the plant . However , implementing top dressing or liquid additives in the blooming stage can provide the enhanced nutrition needed to maximise flower and essential oil production . By amending a soil by top-dressing organic dry ingredients or
Mg by using a liquid tea or extract , an outdoor grower can rest assured that he or she has done everything in his or her power to provide optimal nutrition for the final weeks of blooming .
