Grower Tip
- For best results, add Rootzone at 1mL/L to your Chilli Focus mix to keep roots healthy from seedling to harvest.
- Mixed more than you need? The solution keeps for one to two weeks. Give it a good stir before you feed.
Features
Formulated to meet the needs of a wide variety of chillies and peppers, and also perfect for capsicums.
Single Part Technology puts all 12 essential minerals, including calcium, in one liquid concentrate, with no A and B parts to balance.
Buffered to keep all 12 minerals available to the plant, with no pH adjusting needed in most tap water.
Made from high-grade raw materials with chelated trace elements, so the nutrients are highly bioavailable and easily absorbed.
Guaranteed free of chlorides, urea and sodium.
Works in hydroponics, semi-hydro, soil and potting mix, with a simple dilution rate for each.
Completely odourless, so it suits indoor growing and grow tents.
At 5mL per litre, the 1L makes up to 200L of working solution, and the 20mL cap doubles as a measure.
-
1
Dilute for hydro
For hydroponics and semi-hydro, mix 5–10mL per litre of water. One capful is 20mL.
-
2
Dilute for soil
For soil and potting mix, mix 3–7mL per litre of water.
-
3
Feed at every watering
Use it at each watering for best results, or at least once a week during active growth. Most plants need little or no feeding over winter.
-
4
Build strength gradually
Increase the rate as plants grow towards maturity, but never exceed 10mL per litre. Stronger mixes can burn roots and leaves.
-
5
Flush once a month
Water through with plain water once a month to clear any build-up of mineral salts.
-
6
Capsicums too
Use the same rates on capsicums and other peppers.
How long will a bottle last?
At 5mL per litre, the 250mL makes 50L, the 1L makes 200L, the 5L makes 1,000L and the 20L makes 4,000L of feed. As a guide, a 9L watering can once a week uses 45mL, so the 1L lasts about 22 weeks. Feeding at the full 10mL per litre brings that down to about 11 weeks. All sizes are the same formula, so it's easy to move up or down a size.
What's the difference between Chilli Focus and Complete Focus?
Chilli Focus is tuned for chillies and peppers, with more potassium than Complete Focus (3.1% against 2.7%) for the fruiting stage. Complete Focus is the all-rounder of the range, balanced to suit all plants, so it's the simple choice for a mixed garden. If chillies and capsicums are your main crop, Chilli Focus is the better fit. For tomatoes and cucumbers there's Vegetable Focus.
Do I need to adjust the pH?
Usually not. Chilli Focus is pH buffered, so with most tap water there's no pH adjusting to do. Tap water is the best choice for mixing, because its natural buffering keeps pH steadier than distilled or reverse-osmosis water. If you run a hydroponic system and monitor pH, the ideal range for most plants is 5.5 to 6.5.
Can I use it on seedlings or as a foliar spray?
Yes to both. For seedlings, keep the mix weak, no stronger than 5mL per litre for the first few weeks, then build up as the plant establishes and starts growing strongly. As a foliar spray, use no more than 5mL per litre and avoid spraying in direct sunlight or the heat of the day. Leaves take up nutrients as well as roots, so it's a quick way to give a plant a boost.
My potting mix already has slow-release fertiliser in it. Can I still use Chilli Focus?
Yes, but halve the dilution rate so you don't overfeed. With a pre-fertilised mix you can't be sure which minerals are in it, or how much. For best results, grow in pure coco fibre. It holds water well and has no added fertiliser, so your plants get exactly what you feed them, which makes it a perfect partner for Chilli Focus.
Can I use Chilli Focus on capsicums and other peppers?
Yes. Chilli Focus is formulated for a wide variety of chillies and peppers, from Habanero, Tabasco and Scotch Bonnet to Jalapeno and Birdseye, and it's also perfect for capsicums. Use the same rates: 5–10mL per litre in hydroponics and semi-hydro, or 3–7mL per litre in soil and potting mix, building the strength as plants move from leafy growth into fruiting.

I live in Cairns and I enjoy growing Jalapeno chillies. Recently I'd noticed the leaves on my plants going on terrible looking green/yellow colour. I Googled this, and I found that they were most likely severely undernourished. I had recently used powdered (crushed) eggshell to give them a boost. The plants improved slightly briefly, but then returned to the brittle, yellowed leaves. Needless to say they were producing SFA fruit, any that did mature were small.
Google suggested Grow Kings and Chilli Focus, so I thought we'll worth a go. I gave them a good prune, removing most of the worst leaves. My plants improved literally within days of using 5ml/ltr water. It's been about 3 weeks now and my plants are thriving, producing bigger chillies, and more of them.
Thank you Grow Kings and Growth Technology for absolutely saving my plants!
I was ready to uproot them all and start again. The self sowing flowers that sprouted in the pots love it too!
I noticed the difference in my chilli plants within days of using the Chilli Focus product. The plants are growing great, very healthy and lots of buds. Love it….and buying in bulk (5 litres), it’s really well priced compared to other products that are certainly not as good.
Used it for a couple of seasons now, seems to do the job.
My plants look so good 😊
This is the most AMAZING PRODUCT FOR CAROLINA REAPERS, it is EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED . My hydroponic and soil plants have turned a lush green in 2 weeks , I tried so many other products but they burnt my plants as CAROLINA REAPERS PLANTS need a lower amount of fertiliser mix, This is so perfectly effective and now my plants bursting with flowers
Noticed a significant growth spurt in all my chilli seedlings. Will not go back to any other plant suppliment. My chilli plants have now got the brightest green leaves and are constantly flowering and producing great fruit. Hard to grow chillis in the Pilbara in WA due to heat but this product has caused not one seedling to perish. Thank you.
I couldn't quite get my Cayenne plants to thrive to the point of having to cut them back heavily and start again.
Enter Chilli Focus. I looked around for a chilli plant specific fertiliser and found this product at Grow Kings and thought I'd give it a go.
After a couple of weeks of use the Cayennes were sprouting fresh growth. Further down the track they look healthy and are producing beautiful full bodied fruit around 140mm long.
The product is very easy to use and safe to use daily (which i did with a monthly flush of water only).
I would highly recommend Chilli Focus and Grow Kings were fantastic with quick dispatch and delivery.
The goods arrived very quickly, ahead of schedule by 2 days, very happy with that!
Also Very happy with how my chilli’s are taking to this fertiliser.
Great product .. plants are booming and product was delivered on time 🤛
Looks like it's helping my chilli grow great.
Using this on an Indian Bird's Eye Chilli plant. Just for context the plant will be four (4) years old in June of this year, is potted and spends winters indoors. The plant also gets trimmed in the spring. It was doing poorly this year despite using various products, so I searched for alternatives. I had already seen Growth Technology fertiliser work wonders on my orchids so purchased the Chilli version. After just a few weeks of use the plant has grown very well, flowered like crazy, and I have more fruit set this year than I have had in the last three years. This product has given my old plant a new lease on life and hopefully it will enjoy another summer.
Excellent results from using chilli focus and good value
Great product arrived promptly from a good Australian company.
This 5L big boy rocked up on my doorstep the other week - only a short few days in transit all the way from Sydney in NSW. Now my chilli's are kicking it out there in the sun with this mega pack
Products was well packed and delivered
Highly recommend I will be continuing with this product
