GHE - T.A. - TrikoLogic (formerly BioponicMix) is one of the highest-quality products on the market, containing dry Trichoderma harzianum, a vital part of organic growing and the secret weapon of every professional gardener.

• breaks down organic matter
• protects against the development of pathogenic fungi
• stimulates plant growth

Trichoderma lives in soil, coco or other similar substrates, breaking down organic matter and releasing minerals. This process of decomposition and nutrient release is essential for organic growing, organic hydroponics, bioponics and aquaponics. As it grows and creates colonies, Trichoderma also releases a range of plant-growth-stimulating compounds and substances that inhibit or kill soil pathogens that could otherwise harm your plants, as recent studies show.

How to use:

As with all aerobic microorganisms, the better the oxygen supply and the more stable the pH level, temperature and humidity, the healthier and more effective Trikologic will be.

• For soaking seeds or adding to water/nutrient solution for seedlings/cuttings, young and mature plants: add 1 g to every 15 to 20 litres of water or nutrient solution every 6 to 8 weeks.

• For mature plants, in soil or coco: add 10 g to every 150 to 200 litres of water or nutrient solution every 6 to 8 weeks; simply add to the irrigation system or directly onto the substrate.

• In hydroponics, where roots are entirely in water, and in bioponics: When plants are young and have small root systems, Trikologic needs a base for regrouping and reproduction: to provide this, use a commercially available biofilter, or suspend a 3 to 5L plastic basket filled with 80% expanded clay and 20% coco substrate under the falling water in your reservoir, for example at the return of our Growstream® systems.

Use with:

• all nutrients from GHE - mineral or organic
• in any substrate, hydroponics or outdoor cultivation

T.A. Calcium Magnesium Supplement is an easily absorbed supplement with calcium and magnesium. The presence of calcium and magnesium in an absorbable form is vital for optimising the nutrition of fast-growing plants. 

• prevents secondary nutrient deficiencies
• supports growth and fruiting
• prevents tip burn (in tomatoes and lettuce)
• can be used as a supplement to most nutrient programmes
• counteracts calcium lockout when growing in coco
• does not clog the drip nozzles of irrigation systems

How to use T.A. Calcium Magnesium Supplement:

Warning: Do not use with T.A. fertilisers for Soft Water, FloraCoco® or FloraNova®: they already contain enough calcium, even for reverse-osmosis water!

• For all other situations: use 1.5ml per 1l of water for most applications.

• For use with reverse-osmosis water: add 2ml per 1l of water, before adding fertilisers! (Non-T.A. fertilisers)

• For growing in coco or buffering compressed coco: use 1 to 1.5ml per 1 litre to wet the substrate (to saturation), then add the same amount to the nutrient solution for the first two weeks. Continuous use may be beneficial for fast-growing annual plants.

Use with:

• Non-T.A. fertilisers, hydroponics or outdoor growing
• coco substrate, especially if it is not the T.A. brand

GHE - T.A. - Fulvic (Diamond Nectar formerly) is the finest, highest-quality fulvic acid on the market. Soluble humates help plants absorb minerals more easily, making nutrients more effective.

• ultra-pure, 100% natural biostimulant
• better root development
• healthier, more disease-resistant plants
• improved aroma and flavour quality

• significantly higher yields

How to use Fulvic:

When watering:

• at the first leaves: 20 ml per 10 L of water
• during the growth phase: 20 ml per 10 L of water
• during the pre-flowering period: 20ml per 10l of water

As a foliar spray:

• at the first leaves: 30 ml per 10 L of water
• during the growth phase: 30 ml per 10 L of water
• during the pre-flowering phase: 30 ml per 10 L of water

Use Fulvic with:

• all nutrients – mineral or organic, from GHE or other brands
• any substrate, hydroponics or outdoor cultivation

GHE - T.A. - FinalPart (formerly Ripen) is a complete fertiliser / stimulant for the late flowering phase, which requires no additional additives. It increases flowering and the production of active ingredients and eliminates excess nutrients.

• accelerates the ripening process
• increases yield and the intensity of flavour/aroma
• increases the production of essential oils and active ingredients
• eliminates excess nutrients, which improves flavour

​How to use FinalPart:

• For hydroponic growing: Replace the old nutrient solution with pH-adjusted water and add up to 5 ml of FinalPart per 1 L of water, to match or slightly exceed your previous EC (up to 2.6) and mix well. Apply for 10 days or as long as needed, then use FlashClean® to finish or harvest directly.
• For growing in coco: Add up to 5 ml of FinalPart per 1 L of water with pH adjusted to match or slightly exceed your previous EC (up to 2.6) and mix well. Apply for 12–13 days or as long as needed, then use FlashClean® to finish or harvest directly. 
• For growing in soil: Add up to 4 ml of FinalPart per 1 L of water with pH adjusted to match or slightly exceed your previous EC (up to 2.0). Apply until the leaves yellow and/or ripening is satisfactory. This may take 10 to 20 days. Then use FlashClean® to finish or harvest directly.
• Experts can use FinalPart® to manage water stress, maximise the concentration of active ingredients and minimise splitting in soft-fruit crops: aim to maintain EC=2.6mS in hydroponic growing and EC=2.0mS in soil.

Note: dissolve the desired amount of FinalPart in water with pH adjusted between 5.5 and 6.5 and mix well! 

Use FinalPart as follows:

• Always use FinalPart on its own! 
• Do not combine it with other nutrients, fertilisers or additional boosters while using FinalPart,  because it contains everything the plant needs to ripen and complete its life cycle!
• FlashClean: FlashClean helps FinalPart reach its full potential.

1. Before applying FinalPart, FlashClean removes all residual nitrogen and other mineral salts from the substrate.
2. After you have finished applying FinalPart, a rinse with FlashClean can help improve the flavour of your harvest.

GHE - T.A. - Pro Bloom is a super-concentrated flowering booster that increases the quality and quantity of the harvest.

• increases flowering and growth by up to 20%
• increases calcium absorption
• increases leaf size
• activates microbial life and stimulates plants' immune system

How to use Pro Bloom:

Only during flowering / fruiting!

• To add to water or nutrient solution (in hydroponics, coco or soil): 2ml per 10L of water

• If necessary, dilute for use as a foliar spray, but avoid spraying flowers: 1ml per 10L of water

Use Pro Bloom with:

• all plants
• all substrates, hydroponics or outdoor growing

TA FlashClean is

• prevents clogging of irrigation-system drip emitters
• protects plants from stress and root damage
• corrects the nutrient balance
• addresses so-called nutrient "lockout"
• nourishes microbial life and refreshes soil and coco
• boosts growth in the final stage (especially with FinalPart)

How to use FlashClean:

Unlike other flushing products on the market, FlashClean is not an acid, contains no enzymes and does not discharge magnesium or other mineral additives into your system, making it uniquely versatile: you can treat your plants with it at any time during growth or flowering, but no more than once every two weeks!

In recirculating hydroponic systems:

• To refresh before changing nutrients (including before FinalPart): add 1.5 to 3ml/l. FlashClean to the existing nutrient solution and let the system circulate for 24 hours before draining and replacing it with fresh nutrient solution. Use the lower dose for young or delicate plants and the higher dose for established plants or those close to harvest.
• After overfeeding or nutrient "lockout": drain the old nutrient solution, add 1.5 to 3ml/l. FlashClean to pH-adjusted water (you do not need to fill the entire reservoir, only enough for the system to circulate and operate freely). Let it circulate for 24 hours before draining and adding fresh new nutrient solution. Use the lower dose for young or delicate plants and the higher dose for established plants or those close to harvest.
• For a final flush (after FinalPart): drain the old nutrient solution, add 1.5 to 3ml/l. FlashClean to pH-adjusted water (you do not need to fill the entire reservoir, only enough for the system to circulate and operate freely). Let it circulate for the final two days before harvest, to raise plant sugar levels instead of losing aroma and active-compound content through a longer water flush.

In soil, coco or another substrate (clay pebbles, perlite):

• For a refresh before changing nutrients (including before FinalPart and after overfeeding or nutrient "lockout"): every 15 days (or when needed after lockout, etc.): fill a watering can with fresh, pH-adjusted water and add 1.5 to 3 ml/l. FlashClean. Water until it drains into the saucer / through the bottom of the pot. Resume the regular feeding schedule with the next watering. Use the lower dose for young or fragile plants and the higher dose for developed plants / plants close to harvest.
• For a final "flush" (after FinalPart): add 3 ml/1 l of water FlashClean instead of base nutrients during the final two days before harvest to increase sugar levels in plants, rather than losing aroma and active-compound content through a longer water-only "flush".

Note: with FloraKleen you can treat your plants at any stage of growth or flowering, but no more than once every two weeks!

Use with: all fertilisers and substrates, but especially with FinalPart:

• FlashClean helps FinalPart reach its full potential. By flushing nitrogen and other mineral salts from the substrate, FinalPart will work more effectively, mobilising nitrates and improving the final aroma / flavour of the harvest.
• Before harvest, instead of 10 days of water-only "flush", try 2 with FlashClean—growers around the world do it because, in commercial production, 8 extra days of harvest are a major benefit!

GHE - T.A. - Pro Roots is a super-concentrated root stimulator that dramatically boosts growth and root development.

• larger, healthier root system
• better resistance to mould and fungi
• healthier, more vigorous plants

How to use Pro Roots:

GHE - T.A. - Silicate (Mineral Magic formerly) is an essential element for higher plants, especially those grown with water as a substrate. The pH-neutral silicate contains ancient deposits of biologically transformed organic matter, plus naturally formed clay from silicic acid.

• provides a naturally soluble form of silicon, which enters plant cells and builds a hardened shield against diseases and insect attacks
• the natural colloids of silicate improve the cation-exchange capacity of nutrient solutions, improving nutrient availability for your plants
• stabilizes pH and EC of the nutrient solution, reducing stress for fast-growing plants
• protects against metal toxicity
• contains more than 60 minerals, which add more nutrients to help plants thrive

How to use Silicate:

• in nutrient solution: 4g per 10L
• for foliar spray: 4g per 10L
• If used together with TrikoLogic / TrikoLogic S, apply Silicate only as a foliar application, so as not to delay the establishment of beneficial microorganism populations in the substrate.!!!
