Can it be used in hydroponics?

We don’t recommend the use of Surge Plus in hydroponics. As Surge Plus is a powdered additive, it is possible for it to gum up in the lines. While it is entirely possible for use with hydroponics, we don’t recommend it as it could result in clogging of your system and excess cleaning.


Further, Surge Plus contains Humic Acid. Humic Acid is recommended for use only in soil and coco as it takes time to break down to become bioavailable to the plant.



Can Surge Plus be used in an autopot system?

Similar to hydroponics, we don’t recommend the use of Surge Plus in an autopot system. It is possible Surge could clog your system and result in excess cleaning. 


Can I use Surge Plus with other soilless mediums like peat moss?

Yes! Surge Plus is appropriate for use in soil, coco, and other soilless mediums. 

Surge Plus multi blended additive key benefits

 ⠀

What are the benefits of Surge Plus?

Surge Plus contains ingredients that offer numerous benefits. 

Vitamin B1 has been shown to significantly increase crop yields and encourage healthy and vigorous growth. B1 assists the plant in rooting, growing, and flowering which helps to keep plants stress free! 

Humic acid chelates nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and iron by providing natural carrier compounds to bring growth enhancing nutrients and vitamins to your plant. Humic acid stimulates root and enzymatic function and assists in the more efficient utilization of nutrients and vitamins. 

Surge Plus is also enriched with sea kelp which is renowned for its many benefits, including stress relief and increased amino acid and protein activity. Amino acids are the base components of protein. Supplementing with them will allow the plant to bypass their synthesis and put those resources elsewhere. Surge Plus has added amino acids to help your plant to create energy and transport nutrients.  Amino acids help to increase chlorophyll production and are a source of nitrogen the plant can easily take in. Extra carbohydrates provide an energy boost to your plant during flowering to enhance yields. 

Molasses helps to feed the microorganisms living in your soil by providing key minerals and vitamins. Molasses has numerous benefits for your soil like preventing salt build-up and nutrient deficiencies!
