PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT Thunder Oxygen Booster Thunder Oxygen Booster is a blend of minerals and humic, fulvic and amino acids that creates a chemical reaction when added to water, releasing dissolved oxygen by weakening the dipolar bonds of hydrogen and oxygen. Thunder Oxygen Booster also acts as an adjuvant to plant food and supplements, helping them work more efficiently, and as a surfactant as well. Because of the specific hydrophobic residues and smallmolecule surfactants, Thunder Oxygen Booster can pack in surface spaces from 50-100 times below its radius of gyration in water—denaturing is not necessary due to its amphipathic nature. In a recent test, an application of 1.5 ml of concentrate in 3,785 ml of deionized water increased the solution’s dissolved oxygen from 1.90 mg to 4.60 mg per ml in 90 minutes—an increase of 242% of dissolved oxygen without chemical or mechanical support.

Vermicrop Organics has taken fertilization back to the basics by mixing the best organic inputs in the ideal ratios to be taken up by fruiting and flowering crops in its new lineup of dry fertilizers. The mixes are applied as a top-dressing and are not water-soluble, which removes tedious reservoir and tank cleanings from a grower’s routine. Gone are the days of watering different plant species with one reservoir that might not be tailored to the diverse needs of production farms. Vermicrop’s dry fertilizer line includes VermiAll (6-6-6), VermiVeg (7-4-4), VermiBloom (3-10-5) and PK Boost (1-13-6). All four mixes are CDFA-registered and can be used in any natural-based grow media. The line’s flexibility means different plant species in different stages can be grown in growrooms and greenhouses with ease. Start growing organically the easiest way possible with Vermicrop Organics. For additional information, check out a specialty garden shop.
