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.
