Now one thing I didn’t get wrong is the coupon for our Yellow Bottle Line by Agricultural Organics Nutrients. Since we love this line so much – I’m extending the coupon code 10YELLOW until Friday. For the whole week, take an extra 10% off the Yellow Bottle line of hydroponic nutrients. You have to use the coupon code 10YELLOW at checkout to get the discount.

In case you aren’t familiar with the Yellow Bottle Line, start by checking out Agricultural Organics Nutrient – Final Bloom, a finishing product for use in the last two weeks (before clearing solutions) to pump up flower weight and volume to gain extra yield. Formulated from the organic equivalent to plant steroids, Triacontanol and rare earth minerals, Final Bloom stimulates a massive final bloom of developing flowers.

Triacontanol is an alcohol based sugar found in high concentrations in alfalfa. It has a multi faceted effect stimulating the natural production of plant hormones involved in flowering and increases the sensitivity of plant hormones. Specific receptors involved in signaling the presence of organic plant steroid magnifying its effect whilst keeping the actual usage level incredibly low. Combine this with nano levels of two rare earth minerals that magnify the effect of Triacontanol and the three interacting primary ingredients in Final Bloom work together to provide phenomenal results by using all natural materials and no plant growth regulators (PGRs)

Final Bloom is highly concentrated at a 1:1,000 dilution ratio, the 1L/1.03qt bottle makes 1,000L/200G and the 2.5L/2.64qt bottle makes 2,500L/500G.

Mayan MicroZyme

Mayan MicroZyme is a 100% organic and ecologically safe Bacterial-Enzymatic Complex with Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) that includes 24 species of soil microorganisms that will increase fertility while providing vital plant nutrients to all types of plants and crops. Mayan MicroZyme mineralizes plant nutrients; produces nitrogen, natural antibiotics and plant growth hormones; regulates nitrogen; builds soil organic matter; suppresses soil and plant pathogens; and improves fertility, yields,and nutrient availability and uptake. The micro- organisms in this concentrate are dormant with a long shelf life because of the micro-encapsulating solution. When the concentrate is diluted in water and aerated, the micro-encapsulation dissolves and the microorganism populations become active and increase in number.

Myco Madness

Myco Madness helps plants enjoy improved nutrient and water uptake, disease resistance and performance. Humboldt Nutrients employed one of the leading mycologists in mycorrhizae studies to help in the formulation of this yield and quality enhancing product. It contains a bio-stimulant package, 18 mycorrhizal species, 19 beneficial bacteria and 2 trichoderma species weel-suited to a variety of media, soil conditions, climates and plants. Myco Madness contains mycorrhizal fungi that colonize plant roots and extend the root system into the surrounding media, greatly enhancing the absorptive surface area of root system. Finally, Myco Madness helps in forming an essential link between the plant roots, organic matter, and fertilizers of all types and even includes a specifically formulated natural root biostimulant.

Myco Maximum

Myco Maximum granular contains humic acids, organic fertilizer, 10 species of growth-enhancing mycorrhizal fungi, 19 strains of beneficial bacteria, 2 trichoderma species, micronutrients, 11 time released carbohydrates and 20 different amino acids. Myco Maximum adds organic matter and contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients necessary for plant health. Mycorrhizal fungi increase the surface absorbing area of the roots from 10-10,000 times, thereby greatly improving the ability of plants to grow, fruit and flower by forming an intricate web that captures and assimilates nutrients and water for the plant.Working together, beneficial bacteria, mycorrhizae and trichoderma fungi expand into the surrounding medium to greatly increase the roots’ ability to absorb and recycle water and nutrients, thus improving transplant success, flowering and plant health.

Humboldt Nutrients was designed in Humboldt County to be part of a complete  three part growing nutrient system for hydroponics and all growing mediums. Through extensive research and testing we have formulated an easy to use, highly effective fertilizing program. Humboldt Nutrients  three part nutrients can be utilized for any types of vegetables, flowers, or herbs. In conjunction with our high powered hydroponic additives, Humboldt Nutrients gives growers maximum flower production coupled with heavy fruit yields.

Humboldt Master is a premium two part amino acid based fertilizer program designed for flowering plants. The amino acids and organic acid complexes set the Master A&B series apart from your standard base plant nutrient making all the macro and micro nutrients more available.

Big Up Powder (0-33-23) provides energy that your plants need to finish blooming with the largest flowers possible. Big Up Powder contains a diverse amount of proprietary ingredients that many competing products simply don’t offer and is free of all unnecessary artificial colors and dyes. Designed specifically for the final weeks of the flowering period, Big Up Powder provides the final boost of energy that your plants need to finish the bloom cycle with the largest flowers you have ever seen.

FlavorFul is an 8% liquid fulvic acid concentrate. Fulvic acid is comprised of a long chain of organic carboxyl and polyhydroxide acids. This organic complex molecule is very active with many open rings, giving it a large capacity to hold and exchange nutritive cations and anions. FlavorFul will enhance cell wall permeability through the root and leaf systems increasing negatively charged colloidal particles that are capable of holding and exchanging cations.

Humboldt Honey ES is an excellent source of carbohydrates for all plants.  Humboldt Honey ES also helps promote and facilitate the growth of beneficial bacteria and fungi in your soil or soil-less media.

Humboldt Roots is a highly concentrated organic root stimulant that expands the root zone during the critical growth stage. Many growers neglect the fact that the soul of every plant resides in the roots and concentrate on the visual aspects of their plants. A large yield is directly related to a plants metabolism rates and plant metabolism rates are directly related to the root zones capabilities to uptake plant nutrients and fertilizers. Humboldt Roots was specifically designed to expand the root zone which results in larger yields.

Hum-Bolt promotes the conversion of elements into forms more readily available to the plants. Hum-Bolt humic acid promotes high ion exchange capabilities, stimulates plant enzymes, beneficial organisms and acts as an organic catalyst.

“Americans have turned to home hydroponics gardening to beat tough times,” explains Michael “Big Mike” Straumietis, co-founder of Seattle-based Advanced Nutrients. “We see reports that Burpee Seeds has seen a 39% sales increase last quarter.  Advanced Nutrients sales are up 103% compared to the same quarter in 2008.”

What’s more, the National Gardening Association projects that 43 million households will grow some of their own fruits, vegetables, berries and herbs this year — a rise of at least 19 % over last year.

What accounts for the upturn in the hydroponics economy? Advanced Nutrients co-founder Gino Yordanov says Americans are looking to cut food prices, eat homegrown veggies and fruits that have higher quality than store-bought, and find rewarding hobbies as economic realities keep them closer to home.

“Add to that technological developments that make it easier for people to garden at home,” Yordanov explains. “In the past five years, you’ve seen retailers offering convenient plug and play gardening units that make it virtually automatic for people to get large yields of tasty produce and flowers.”

Michael Straumietis says his company’s impressive sales growth partially comes from Advanced Nutrients’ own hydroponics innovations. “Our new nutrients eliminate technical hoops and hurdles growers used to have to jump through. Now it’s easier for them to maximize every aspect of their garden’s growth.”
