Steadier growth when you stick to a simple routine. And fewer of those \"why is the new growth looking pale?\" moments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical Analysis (w\/v)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrimary Nutrients\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrogen (N) — 4.50% Phosphorus (P) — 1.00% Potassium (K) — 3.00% Calcium (Ca) — 3.08% Magnesium (Mg) — 0.95%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMicronutrients\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron (Fe) — 0.0168% Manganese (Mn) — 0.0085% Copper (Cu) — 0.0085% Zinc (Zn) — 0.0030% Boron (B) — 0.0044% Molybdenum (Mo) — 0.000115%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcentrate pH\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.8–4.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on pH:\u003c\/strong\u003e The concentrate is mildly acidic to keep calcium and micronutrients stable in the bottle.
