FloraMax Veg-1

1-part base nutrient – Just ONE bottle for veg and bloom

If ease-of-use is as important to you as yield and flavor then FloraMax Veg-1 should be your #1 choice in nutrients.

  • Veg-1 is a single-bottle that performs flawlessly during both veg and bloom in hydro, coco and soil. This is ideal for commercial grows as it only requires ONE feed line and radically simplifies stock management. Additional use of PK additives will complement Veg-1 in bloom to eliminate the need for a separate grow and bloom base nutrient.
  • Provides superior transition to flower compared to 2-part formulations.
  • Veg-1 is ideal for salty, hard and high pH waters – as found in many bore/well-sourced groundwaters.  Veg-1 will resolve or improve associated problems such as blocked drippers and a “cloudy” nutrient solution.
  • Veg-1 is completely soluble, runs extremely clean and has exceptional long-term stability. When Veg-1 is used as directed for run-to-waste systems, the reservoir can be stable for up to three months provided evaporation and light ingress are minimized. Veg-1 is also ideal for use with auto-dosing systems.
  • No “cal-mag” required.  When Veg-1 is used as directed, no “cal-mag” additive or extra nitrogen is needed – even with coco, RO or soft waters.
  • Veg-1 has greater pH stability than most 2-parts*.  Veg-1 is designed to tolerate reservoir pH levels 15-20% higher than competing products thus providing additional insurance against high pH water.  In soil and coco applications, pH adjustment is rarely required.
  • When used with FloraMax Flowering Enhancer growers will require about FIVE times ‘less’ pH Down than what they would normally use.
    *Veg-1’s  buffering neutralizes 80ppm of alkalinity below pH 6.5. This is over 20% better than brands that are regarded as “highly-pH-buffered”.
  • There are no tedious dosing procedures with Veg-1 – there is no waiting!  Simply measure, pour then stir.
  • Veg-1 contains premium grade ingredients including fully chelated trace metals such as Iron DTPA.  The ingredients are stabilized in solution and carefully balanced to eliminate any risk of toxicity and ensure the best flavoured fruits.
  • Heavy metal levels are typically LESS THAN one-tenth of government “limits”, which is ideal for commercial markets that are heavily regulated.
  • Veg-1 has a 10-year shelf-life – this ensures reliability.
  • Available in larger pack sizes – 1L, 5L, 20L and 1,000L – suitable for large scale commercial applications.
  • Dosage:  3.5 – 6.4 ml/L (13-24 ml/Gal).
Testimonials - “...amazing yield and taste, 100% perfectly healthy plants. Very simple and clean...

“I’ve been growing for 15 years so I was skeptical before using Veg-1. How could a single bottle compare with 2 or 3 parts? …and no separate ‘grow’ or ‘bloom’! So I followed the feedchart… the Veg-1 regime way outperformed our best ever yields. I am sold!”

“Growing is so much easier, not to mention LESS CLUTTERED, now that we only need a single nutrient bottle all the way through”

“…amazing yield and taste, 100% perfectly healthy plants. Very simple and clean. The Veg-1 range is the key to bigger yields!”

Optimum pH of nutrient solutions
The key reason for controlling the pH of nutrient solutions is to make sure that the individual elements in the nutrient remain soluble. If certain elements become insoluble, a white precipitate will form on the bottom of the reservoir. Depending on the pH, this precipitate may take several hours to form, or even days. This means that whenever nutrient solutions are stored in a reservoir of either a recirculating or run-to-waste system, it is important to maintain the pH between 5.0 and 6.0 – with an absolute maximum of 6.5. This helps ensure that:

a) The individual elements remain dissolved in the water and are therefore available to be pumped to the root zone.

b) The individual elements are in a soluble form which roots can readily absorb.

pH range limits: pH values above 6.0 are to be avoided more than low values such as pH 4.5 to 5.0. All essential nutrients are soluble at these lower pH values. The precise pH at which calcium and sulfate begin to precipitate is determined by their combined concentrations. Except for fertilizers ‘low’ in calcium and sulfate, this problem commonly occurs at ~pH 6.5 when the net* EC is ~2.5 mS; or ~pH 7.0 for 1.5 mS solutions. As a general rule, to avoid precipitation, higher nutrient concentrations must be held at lower pH values. *Assumes make-up water has nil EC.
