Grow Tip for February 2017 - by Ben Horner


    

    Most growers buy nutrients to feed their plants. When you go into a grow store the choices are endless. Dozens of companies have product “lines,” or proprietary regiments that work exclusively together. This typically means you cannot buy just one bottle of nutrients, because you need the full line of that brand to get everything your plant needs. Skunkwerks, proves that you don’t need 3-12 different products to grow killer meds.

     First off, plants need proper PH, 5.5-5.8 (acid/ alkaline). Then they need an appropriate amount of macro (N-P-K) and micronutrients. Cannabis plants while in vegetative growth need more nitrogen and when in ower they need more phosphate and potassium. That is why many nutrient lines come
in two, three or more parts. 


     This allows the user to shift the amounts of macro and micronutrients. When finishing, the last few weeks of flowering no nutrients should be used.

     Skunkwerks has an all in one product, and it works. Growers that have switched over are ecstatic with the results and are clearing the clutter off their shelves of the plethora of assorted bottles they don’t need any more. They are saving money and don’t have to think too hard or consult a confusing feeding chart. For growers that are growing bigger plants and really like to adjust ratios, Skunkwerks have a two-part product that is very simple as well.

     Skunkwerks works well with sweeteners, bud hardeners and terpene enhancers. Skunkwerks is made in Michigan and is not yet available through the big hydro distributors so not every grow store has it. If you want to talk to them the just call the toll-free number and you can call them direct.
