• Use the plant root stimulator Roots Excelurator though out the entire vegetative growth cycle as well as in the first three weeks of growth at the rate of 1.1 ml per gallon.
• Contrary to what you might have heard with other nutrients, never use an oxygen pump in the nutrient container or in the growth table. This may have serious consequences for the stability of the nutrients.
• Contains:Micro nutrients, hydro bacteria, proteins, Amino acids, Hyminic acids 9% and 100% natural ingredients.

Plant roots provide the crops we eat with water, nutrients and anchorage. Understanding how roots grow and how hormones control that growth is crucial to improving crop yields, which will be necessary to address food security and produce better biofuels.

Now an international group of scientists has shed light on how a plant hormone is crucial in controlling the growth of plant roots. Plant growth is driven by an increase in two factors: the number of cells, and their size.

Scientists already know that the plant hormone gibberellin controls how root cells elongate as the root grows in the model plant. Now a paper appearing in Current Biology describes for first time how this hormone also regulates the number of cells in the root in order to control root growth.

Gibberellin normally acts by signaling the removal of proteins which repress growth, and so promotes root cell production. This  research shows that mutant plants that do not produce the hormone are unable to increase their cell production rate and the size of the root meristem, the zone of cell proliferation.

Plants in which the cells in the meristem were made to express a mutant version of the growth-repressing protein GAI not degraded by gibberellin showed disrupted cell proliferation. Expressing this mutant form, gai, in only one tissue, the endodermis (the innermost layer of the root cortex of a plant), was sufficient to stop the meristem enlarging. In effect, the rate of expansion of dividing endodermal cells dictates the equivalent rate in other tissues.

This research was headed by Dr Susana Ubeda-Tomás and Professor Malcolm Bennett of the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology, in collaboration with scientists in Nottingham, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Spain, Belgium and Sweden.

Professor Malcolm Bennett, Biology Director for the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology and Professor of Plant Sciences in the Division of Plant and Crop Sciences, said: “We have shown that gibberellin plays a crucial role in controlling the size of the root meristem, and that it is the endodermis which sets the pace for expansion rates in the other tissues.

“Understanding precisely how hormones regulate plant growth is one of the key areas of fundamental plant biology which will underpin crop improvements in the future.”

As scientists understand how the root system builds, I’m sure we’ll see products come to market that will add these hormones to nutrient solutions.

We are going to pick back up with the rest of the plant nutrient product line and then in part 3 supply you with a few fantastic feeding charts from Humboldt Nutrients.

Humboldt Hydroponic Nutrients Continued

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.

Natural Bloom

Humboldt’s plant nutrient, Natural Bloom (0-10-0) is an ultra concentrated organic bloom formula designed to give your plants the large phosphorus and calcium boost needed during the flowering period. Natural Bloom induces an immediate flowering response in flowering plants, encouraging multiple flowering sites. The use of Natural Bloom promotes full flavors, aromas, and beautiful bouquets only obtained by the use of the richest organics provided by Humboldt Nutrients.

Natural Grow

Humboldt Nutrients Natural Grow (3-1-3) is an ultra concentrated organic grow formula designed to give your plants the balanced nutrition needed during the vegetation and flowering period. Natural Grow is made using the finest and freshest organic ingredients available anywhere. The base ingredients in Natural Grow will promote and facilitate the growth of beneficial bacteria and fungi in your growing media. The use of Natural Grow promotes full flavors, aromas, and beautiful bouquets only obtained by the use of the rich and pure organic ingredients provided by Humboldt Nutrients.

Prozyme

Prozyme is made up of over 80 different enzymes in a concentrated form. Prozyme will encourage the development of beneficial bacteria and catalyze water and elements. The enzymes present in Prozyme will break down dead root mass, starches, carbohydrates and nutrients to make them readily available to the plant.

Sea Cal

Loaded with micronutrients in ratios that plants require during their growing and flowering cycles, Sea Cal (3-2-8) was designed in Humboldt County to be a powerful additive for hydroponics and all growing mediums. These vital micronutrients are coupled with sea plant extract, organic acid complexes, and natural chelating substances. Adding these to the complete nutritional base regimen provides maximum flower production coupled with heavy fruit yields. Sea Cal may be utilized for any type of vegetables, flowers, or herbs in conjunction with the 3 part nutrients system.

Sea Mag

Loaded with vital micronutrients in ratios that plants require during growing and flowering cycles, Sea Mag (0.2-0.2-3) was designed in Humboldt County to be a powerful additive for hydroponics and all growing mediums. These vital micronutrients are coupled with sea plant extract, organic acid complexes and natural chelating substances. Adding these to our complete nutritional base regimen provides maximum flower production coupled with heavy fruit yields. Sea Mag may be utilized for any type of vegetables, flowers, or herbs in conjunction with our 3 part nutrients system.

Note: Please avoid storing in direct sunlight and protect from freezing.
