Dark EnergyTM
Nutrient Additive
Dark Energy is one of the most popular plant performance additives. Why? Because it really works. Really fast!
Dark Energy is a unique blend of select L- amino acids, vitamins and proprietary bionutrients. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, enzymes, hormones and tissues which are essential to the structure and metabolism of plants.
The powerful L-amino acids contained within Dark Energy are extracted from natural sources via enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. |
 |
|
|
|
This ensures the amino acids are extracted in L-form, which is the only form absorbed and utilized by plants. These specialized processes are also responsible for the very distinct odor of Dark Energy!
You can expect these benefits when using Dark Energy:
Accelerated chelation of essential macro and micro nutrients improving overall nutrient uptake; improved vegetative growth and chlorophyll content; stimulates natural production of plant hormones such as auxin and ethylene, responsible for growth and fast ripening; improved yield and quality of harvest; and increased tolerance to stress
Dark Energy can be used from seed to harvest. Highly concentrated so a small amount goes a long way. Compatible with all fertilizer programs, even other nutrient additives!
An increase in nutrient uptake and hormone levels aids the plant in effectively and efficiently completing it's life cycle in a shorter time period. The first time you use Dark Energy you will be amazed. Many growers have reported they see a difference within 24 hours!
If you are striving to push your plants to their maximum potential, and achieve quality only found in crops grown by the most advanced gardeners, you require Dark Energy! |

SweetTM
Organic Carbohydrate
Synthesizer
The unique composition of SweetTM makes it beneficial during all phases of plant growth. During the vegetative growth phase, the application of SweetTM prevents plants from getting leggy and soft stemmed in the presence of high nitrogen concentrates.
SweetTM organic carbohydrate synthesizer contains carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins, amino acids, esters, essential secondary and trace elements which are utilized for the bio-synthesis of crucial compounds to maintain optimal metabolism.

Physiologists have determined that a high phosphorous: nitrogen (P/N) ratio favors flowering and fruit development, whereas, a low P/N ratio favors vegetative growth. For this reason, it is common practice to cut down on nitrogen levels at the onset of flowering. Unfortunately, this sudden deprivation of nitrogen results in a metabolic imbalance caused by limited nitrogen availability. Crucial nitrogen-containing compounds such as amino acids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, vitamins and hormones cannot be synthesized fast enough to keep up with the metabolic demands of the plant. Furthermore, the undesirable effects of nitrogen deprivation are amplified under enriched carbon dioxide atmospheres and high light intensities. SweetTM organic carbohydrate synthesizer is scientifically formulated with carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins, amino acids, and selected bioactive esters for flavor and aroma enhancement. The unique chemical composition of SweetTM makes it beneficial during all phases of plant growth.
During the vegetative phase, application of SweetTM prevents plants from becoming leggy and soft-stemmed in the presence of high nitrogen concentrations. At the onset of flowering application of SweetTM ensures a seamless and stress-free transition from the vegetative to the flowering stage even though nitrogen levels are artificially kept low. The key ingredients present in SweetTM are rapidly taken up by plants and utilized for the biosynthesis of crucial compounds to maintain optimal metabolism.
The continued application of SweetTM during the flowering and fruiting stages helps maintain a proper balance between photosynthesis and respiration. This is significant because, during flowering, many growers use high carbon dioxide concentrations, high temperatures and light with longer wavelengths. Under such conditions, respiration can outstrip photosynthesis causing excessive ethylene production which results in senescence, yellowing of leaves and leggy growth. SweetTM protects plants from this metabolic imbalance and helps produce sturdy stems with short internodes and an abundance of buds, flowers and fruits.
During the initial growth stages use 10 ml per gallon of water. During the transition stage, use between 10 and 15 ml per gallon of water; and during the fruiting and flowering stage, use between 15 and 20 ml per gallon of water. 10 ml of SweetTM per gallon of water will provide 50ppm of Magnesium (Mg), 75ppm of Sulfur (S), and 2 ppm of Iron (Fe).
Ingredients include citric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, cysteine, cystine, methionine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine, trytophan, Epsom salt, ferrous sulfate, agrimineralTM 76 micro complex. Non-plant food ingredients include cane sugar. |

Companion®
Microbial Inoculant
For Hydroponics
Companion with Bacillus subtilis GB03 can be successfully used in hydroponics system to improve plant vigor, root system and plant yield. Companion will encourage and maintain vigorous white roots and increase root mass. Bacillus subtilis will flourish in this environment, where it quickly adapts and establishes itself on the root systems of plants.
Companion is easily injected through all systems either by proportioners or through standard fertilizer injectors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| For herbs and leafy crops, soak seeds/plugs with a solution of 4 ounces of Companion per one gallon of water before placing them in growing trays. Once they are in the trays, use 1 fluid ounce per 30 gallons water in nutrient tank (7.3ml / 100 liters). In a closed recirculating system, the water is usually changed weekly. Companion should be applied again after each water change. In open systems, apply 16 ounces per 100 gallons of nutrient mix (126ml / 100 liters). Apply the solution with Companion at the end of the watering cycle so that Companion stays in the system longer. Repeat the application. |

HygrozymeTM
Horticultural Enzyme Formula
Hygrozyme is an OMRI approved (Organic Materials Review Institute), naturally derived organic solution, specifically intended to facilitate the removal and expulsion of dead organic matter that may have built up on media or medium surfaces without altering the normal course of decomposition.
Hygrozyme acts as a facilitator-cleaner prior to or in conjunction with the sterilization of containerized media, such as plastic mesh, soil, rock wool, coco fibre or agricultural related equipment, including, but not limited to, greenhouse tools, hydroponic systems, air stones, pipes, pumps, buckets, drip feed systems, and reservoir tanks. |

Hygrozyme is the only known natural cleaner in the market that is sterile (bacteria free) and inert. Hygrozyme is produced in accordance with ISO standards (International Standards Organization) and is considered to be of medical grade quality.The technology was identified and originally developed for hospitals. It is now considered to be the world "Gold Standard" of passive cleaning in virtually all hospitals for the purpose of cleaning surgical operating equipment. It has been proven that chemicals alone will not remove dead organic fixatives prior to sterilization.
Hygrozyme is the only known natural cleaner that can be used in conjunction with other standard cleaning chemicals (i.e. hydrogen peroxide). It can be used alone, where the use of chemicals is prohibited or not welcome. Hygrozyme provides the ideal natural cleaning solution.
How To Use Hygrozyme
Healthy plants grow bigger, stronger, and faster than unhealthy plants. Clean grow media foster the healthy growth of plants. Hygrozyme helps keeping things clean. When the environment is clean the plant has few competitors for food and oxygen and therefore less stress. Since Hygrozyme aids in the conversion of dead matter into useable plant energy, the plant has a greater and more readily available food supply. The common result of a healthy plant with more food and less stress is root expansion. Greater root mass yields greater top growth. The typical growth increase of plants as per Canadian Research & Science Institute (CRSI) tests:
Cucumber
Using 2 ml per 1 liter, results have shown up to 30% reduction in grow time with a high quality increase.
Lettuce
Australian tests using 2 ml per 1 liter, results have shown up to 30%.
Tomatoes
Using 2 ml per 1 liter, results have shown up to and between 30% - 50% increase in the rate of growth. Examples have shown a decline in grow time of up to 30% with a healthier crop, demonstrating a longer sustainability at the retail market.
Sunflowers
Using 1.5 ml per 1 liter, with following results: The average height of plants came to over 4 meters, thickness of stems measured between 8 - 9 cm in diameter. The head of the sunflower measured up to 60 cm in diameter. The seeds were over 1 cm in size. Kernels inside were oversized and hardly any empties were observed.
Jerusalem Artichokes
Using 0.5 - 1 ml per 1 liter, results have shown that plants developed massive foliage and grew to a height of 4 meters. Thickness of the stems increased dramatically, and texture became more fibrous. Harvest was increased by over 60% and quality and size of tubers was excellent.
Cuttings And Cloning
Hygrozyme is an excellent solution to be used in the cutting and cloning process. It can be used either alone, at 1.5 ml per 1 liter or in conjunction with a preferred cloning compound. Tests have shown that in its presence an expedited growth occurs up to 30% faster than with conventional methods. If used from seed it is most effective in use right after seed germination. Again, CSRI tests showed a robust development and the usual result was up to 30% faster development than conventional methods. Hygrozyme is compatible with all standard cloning and cutting formulas and may be used in conjunction with other solutions or alone.
Use With Soil, Coco Coir, Rock Wool, And Water
In tests reviewed by the Canada Science & Research Institute (CSRI) Hygrozyme has been proven "excellent" in maintaining longer use of slabs and hydroponic solutions.
An increase of up to 30% in longevity has been experienced. In soil, Hygrozyme has proven to increase soil porosity through accelerated breakdown of dead organic matter. Its chief function is to vigorously rid the medium of dead organic matter, thereby preventing disease from setting into the medium.
As a media rejuvenator, it is used after a harvest as a soak solution and should be applied after a 50% hydration is implemented. At a concentration of up to 2.5 - 3.75 ml per 1 litre a rapid and almost complete reduction in dead bio mass can be observed. Available nutrients are unlocked in the process and, depending on the circumstances, may provide an excellent source of available plant energy for future growth.
Prophylactic For Disease Prevention Mold & Mildew
Hygrozyme is a highly refined enzymatic cleaner facilitator for dead matter. Keeping in mind that it is sterile and inert, Hygrozyme cannot kill anything. Its key role therefore is to act as a prophylactic. Many leaf borne diseases like Black Spot, of Powdery Mildew flourish in the presence of dead matter. Transferred by humans, macro organisms or air borne arrival, these diseases can set in quickly when in the presence of dead matter. The regular use of Hygrozyme can be a deterrent by removing dead matter and at the same time fostering the presence of beneficial micro organisms on leaf surfaces and in the grow medium or hydroponic solution. This is especially the case in combination with compost extracts that contain micro protagonists. For best results it should be used right from the start of a clean system to maintain those conditions. Applications at a rate of 1.5 ml per 1 liter are sufficient.
Cut Flowers And Harvested Produce
Hygrozyme has been proven in maintaining the visual appearance and ongoing health of a wide variety of cut flowers: roses, mums, lilies, orchids, etc., as well as a large variety of harvested produce. By using Hygrozyme during the growing cycle, produce (e.g. fruit, vegetables, herbs, etc) will stay fresh longer and appear visually attractive and healthy. This will significantly reduce the amount of spoilage.
CSRI tests for cut flowers showed that by adding Hygrozyme to a daily change of water, they are able to last in excess of 14 days (with proper cutting and removal of dead leaves). Another unique quality of Hygrozyme is, that it is the only known product in the market that can be used in conjunction with Hydrogen Peroxide in a ppm of 1-2% solution. By adding a 1-2% hydrogen peroxide solution, the results were even more pronounced.
Use in Pure Hydroponic Systems
The function of Hygrozyme in pure hydroponic systems is one of acting as a refined natural facilitator/cleaner. Hygrozyme aids in the removal and conversion of dead organic material by facilitating and expediting the natural breakdown progress. What normally might take weeks can be accomplished in minutes with the presence of specific natural enzymes. In a closed hydroponic system are many factors which can facilitate the development of disease. The build up of dead matter is usually the contributing factor to this common problem.
A build up of dead organic matter occurs in pipes and pumps, where "pockets" for dead matter may exist. Usually this occurs where 90? turns are used in piping as well as in air stones and in pumps. This build up of dead organic matter can provide ideal conditions for blight to set in. Cleaning these bio films can be and is a difficult process once the system has been left unattended for even a short period of time. In some cases, only a few minutes or seconds in an area of the system which has less than 6 mg per litre of oxygen can spawn a septic environment. Bio films are difficult to clean. Many experts believe that disease formed may actually enter surfaces of old and decaying plastics and continue to appear even after apparent sterilization, since "dirt" cannot be sterilized.
Already accepted as the "Gold Standard" in the medical industry of surgical instruments, enzyme formulas have now been proven effective in hydroponics. Used from the outset (as directed) when starting from a clean system Hygrozyme will help prevent the build up of bio films leading to disease. Hygrozyme is effective in helping to keep the surfaces of pipes, pumps, reservoirs, and trays free of bio film build up.
REMEMBER: Hygrozyme does not kill anything. To be effective, it must be used before dead matter can develop and "grab" onto surfaces causing bio film build up - just like fire insurance for your home that must be purchased before the fire.
As Hygrozyme is the only known market solution that can be used in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide in a ppm of 1 - 2% solution, some operators use this combination to clean, sterilize, and oxygenate roots.
Use from beginning to end of grow cycle: 2 - 2.5 ml per 1L
Breakdown of dead root matter to rejuvenate soil: 2.5 - 3.75 ml per 1L
Keep roots cleaner in hydroponic greenhouse systems: 2 - 2.5 ml per 1L
For larger root systems: 2 - 2.5 ml per 1L
Expedite growth right after seed germination: 1.5 ml per 1L
Used as a foliar wash to help stop the development of leaf borne diseases (i.e. powdery mildew) 1.5 ml per 1L
Hygrozyme is an organic, naturally derived, and sterilized enzymatic formula. The product is a natural "catalyst-cleaner-facilitator" aiding in the breakdown of dead organic matter. It is not systemic to plants. Its function is to help speed up the natural decomposition process and "unlock" complex energy for easier access to the plant.
Hygrozyme is available in 500ml, 1 liter, 4 liter, and 20 liter bottles. |
