You grow in living soil
Amended is the start. Fed is the finish.
You built a soil full of life. Now keep it fed. A container’s charge runs down as the plant grows, and the soil life needs feeding as much as the plant.
Your plan
Your soil, your amendments, your top-dressing routine.
KICKOFF once a week for root-zone biology. ÉLAN every stage. UPTHRIVE in veg and PROSPER in flower as the charge runs down.
40 to 60% of the feeding chart. Start low. Read your plant. Then climb.
Your soil buffers, so you may not adjust every watering. Measure your water and runoff now and then so you know.
What growers like you ask
Do I need to pH with organic nutrients?
Measure, always. In a well-made organic soil you may not need to adjust every watering, because the soil buffers. But you only know that if you measure your water, your finished mix and your runoff now and then.
A bottle says it brings my feed to pH 6.2. True?
Only for one water at one dose. Our ÉLAN at 1 ml/L reads 6.1 in purified water and 7.6 in tap water. Same bottle, same dose, a 1.5 gap. A pH promise without the starting water and the dose means nothing.
Should I flush before harvest?
With organics, skip the hard flush. Taper over the last two weeks the way the chart does and finish with ÉLAN alone. Taste is made by balance, harvest timing, drying and the cure, not by drowning the pot.
Do I need CalMag?
Maybe. Check your water first. Hard tap water often brings plenty. RO water and coco usually need it. When you do, SPARK covers calcium and magnesium with Arctic seaweed.
What’s wrong with my plant?
Before you blame the feed, check watering, roots and pH. Most “deficiencies” start there. The plant doctor walks you through it in a minute.
Does organic really taste better?
We believe so, and so do our growers. But no bottle owns your taste. Genetics, environment, balanced feeding, harvest timing, drying and the cure decide it. Overfeeding at the end ruins it in any program.
