Is it really true that Additives & stimulants help for quality growing? ?
It depends! What are you doing with the finished product? Food source, I'd stay all natural if possible. Growth rate may be slower, but the quality will be better.
Plants, unlike animals, lack glands to secrete hormones and other vital substances that are necessary for growth.These substances affect the plant's time of flowering, seed growth, leaf formation, longevity, and fruit development and ripening. Plants use these essential nutrients only at specific times of their growth. At times, it becomes necessary to stimulate their growth by externally adding hormones, vitamins, and other nutrients.Many of these external products work as growth enhancers, and are used to reduce harvest time, increase yield, or hasten blooming.Some additives help to remove excess nutrient salt, which can otherwise be toxic for the plant. Hormones and stimulants may also help to boost the plant's immunity and increase the lifespan. All depends on you.good luck
It depends what they are, and whether your plants are growing near to their optimum level. Overall, if your plants are getting high quiality nutrition and good levels of lighting, then you'll get good quality productive plants. There are 'miracle' cures out there, but much of it is hype and, in my opinion, prays on the grower who is not a horticultural scientist. Overall, if you can apply organic grade additives then you'll not affect the ability of your plants to be nutritious and fulfilling etc. This also depends on how you're growing, as soil based growth is likely to provide most nutrients that plants want, hydroponically grown produce should have its input tailored to what you're growing, as well as its position in the growth cycle. I recommend researching the individual plant types that you're growing - some have greater difficulty with the uptake and utilisation of certain nutrients, but these are the rarity, and not the norm. Plants naturally contain hormones etc, and can usually produce them in sufficient quantity to manage their growth, flowering and seed production. If you've got products in mind, compare similar products as it's easy to pay too much for roughly the same stuff. That's if you really need it, of course. Edit your question if you've got any specifics, otherwise feel free to message me for any other advice. Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
