FoxFarm Fertilizer: Stock Up On New Liquid and Soluble Fertilizers

By combining tested methods of production with the wisdom and power of Mother Nature, the FoxFarm Fertilizer company has consistently manufactured high-quality soils and nutrient systems for years. FoxFarm products range from easy to use soluble and liquid fertilizers, to highly competitive brands of organically enriched soils. For any grower, and for any style of cultivation, there is a FoxFarm brand product that offers the quality and results they advertise – that’s why GreenPlanet Wholesale couldn’t be more excited to include a range of FoxFarm fertilizers in our newest catalogue. 

FOXFARM LIQUID FERTILIZERS 

From base nutrient protocols like Grow Big, to single-source micronutrient supplements like BushDoctor, GreenPlanet Wholesale now carries a variety of liquid fertilizers from FoxFarm. Here is a full list of liquid fertilizers now proudly offered to our Canadian retail partners.

• Tiger Bloom
• Grow Big Hydroponic
• Kelp Me Kelp You
• BushDoctor Manganese
• Gringo-Rasta Cal-Mag

FOXFARM SOLUBLE FERTILIZERS 

These soluble fertilizers are designed to work together as part of a sequential feeding schedule for hydroponic and conventional growers. Using these soluble plant foods on your plants is like putting your plants on an Olympic training diet. If you’re looking for all the reliability of a liquid nutrient in mineral form, look no further. Below is the list of soluble fertilizers now available to the Canadian market through GreenPlanet Wholesale. 

• Cha Ching
• Beastie Bloomz
• Open Sesame

MUST USE GROW MEDIUMS

FoxFarm offers more than just liquid and soluble fertilizers; their industry-leading grow media, for example, has become an important, almost iconic staple in organic gardening. Two soil/soilless mediums, Happy Frog and Ocean Forest are now available to the Canadian consumer through retail partnerships with GreenPlanet Wholesale. Happy Frog and Ocean Forest are both peat-based, organically enriched grow mediums that offer the light, and fluffy porosity of peat, with the added benefits of organic supplements. The more heavily enriched of the two, Ocean Forest, is procured with organic additives from the ocean, including significant amounts of kelp, shrimp, and crab meal. This makes Ocean Forest the perfect medium to add as a topsoil to your existing containers and beds, or, as a stand-alone medium for hungry, fast-growing crops.

LOCKDOWN PADS: A Simple, sticky solution to pest monitoring

KEEP BUGS ON LOCKDOWN

High Yield Products specializes in Lockdown Pads, a yellow sticky pad that traps a wide range of insects, including thrips, spider mites, leaf miners, aphids, fruit flies, and many other tiny pests harmful to plant growth. Lockdown Pads can also be used in a variety of ways in both soil and hydroponic mediums.

KEY FEATURES

  • Pesticide Free
  • Water-resistant 
  • Specific yellow colour 
  • Easy to monitor trapped insects 
  • Easy to handle
  • Environmentally friendly

UNWANTED PESTS STAY UNWANTED

Pest attacks are much more common outdoors in the garden, but even the most experienced houseplant owner will still fall victim to an attack indoors from time to time. Preventive pest control is one of the best ways to stop the problem before it even happens. 

As growers, sometimes these issues can be out of our control, no matter how much experience we have. If we can identify and monitor any pests entering our garden, even if it was JUST ONE, we could create a proper plan for prevention and extermination. That’s the magic of the Lockdown Pad: stopping a bug problem before you have one.

Their products are the results of years of trials by a dedicated team of professional cultivators who wanted just a bit more from their harvests. More taste, more aroma, and a higher potency – no matter the plant. They knew that the key to getting the results they were looking for was in the terpenes – the building blocks of the essential oils found in most plants and flowers.

The results were Terpinator and Purpinator. Two products that unlock the true genetic potential of your plants that really allow a grower to see, smell, and feel the difference their formulas create. Rhizoflora’s effectiveness in the garden makes it one of our GreenPlanet Wholesale Featured Products of the month.

  • Improves aromatics, flavours, and potency 
  • Boosts resin production and terpene concentration 
  • Increase dosage every two weeks during flowering by 5mL/Gallon for best results

How to Grow a Consistent Crop

Growing crops that are abundant one year, but waning the next – does not a happy farmer make. Consistent crops that flourish year after year is what hobby farmers and large-scale producers alike are looking for.

As such, there are a few things to consider to ensure your growth is optimal each and every year.

Choosing Your Plants Wisely

If you are a hobby farmer and are looking to grow a garden to produce your own – well, produce, you will want to pick young plants that are bushy and have not flowered yet. This allows the plant to acclimate in your garden environment and growing conditions, with little to no shock in the replanting process.

Replanting plants that are already flowering – means they are also potentially seeding, and puts too much stress on a plant already accustom to its environment. So choose bushy but non-flowered plants that will adjust well, to ensure your garden grows as expected

Water. Feed. Repeat.

Just as humans will become dehydrated without water, or hungry without food …so too do plants become under such conditions.

Annuals, in particular, have short roots, so if the surface of the soil is dry, or if all the nutrients have been sucked from that soil, you are going to want to water and feed your plants sufficiently. Feeding your plants every 3-6 weeks with a water soluble fertilizer, will ensure they stay healthy and robust for the season in which they are intended to grow.

Groom for Better Growth

Getting rid of dead growth will allow your plants to flourish, and it will also prevent seed pods from forming. If your flowers have began to lay dormant during the time they should still be blooming, it is likely they need some maintenance and grooming.

As a way to safeguard against unhealthy plant growth, we offer a product called Bud Booster – providing optimal growth for your flowering plants. This bloom additive offers a high level of phosphorus, helping to promote blooming, and assists in the plant’s metabolism during the middle of the flowering stage. The potassium also helps improve the quality of your flowers/fruit and helps with the plant’s starch production.

At Green Planet, we provide natural products to enhance natural growth. Call us with any questions you might have, and allow us to help you yield the best crop possible; season after season, year after year!
