Grower Tip
- For best results, add Rootzone at 1mL/L to your Herb 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 for culinary herbs such as parsley, basil, coriander, thyme and dill, and suitable for leafy green vegetables.
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.
-
1
Dilute for hydro
For hydroponics and semi-hydro, mix 5–7mL per litre of water.
-
2
Dilute for soil
For soil and potting mix, mix 3–5mL 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
Adjust to conditions
Feed stronger during periods of active growth and weaker at other times. For small batches, 5mL is one teaspoon.
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 7mL per litre brings that down to about 16 weeks. All sizes are the same formula, so it's easy to move up or down a size.
What's the difference between Herb Focus and Complete Focus?
Herb Focus is tuned for culinary herbs and leafy green vegetables. 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 herbs and leafy greens are what you grow, Herb Focus is the better fit. For tomatoes and cucumbers there's Vegetable Focus.
Do I need to adjust the pH?
Usually not. Herb 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 Herb 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 Herb Focus.
Which herbs and greens is Herb Focus for?
Herb Focus is formulated for culinary herbs such as parsley, basil, coriander, thyme and dill, and it's suitable for leafy green vegetables too. It works with all types of growing media, so it suits a hydroponic herb system as well as pots and garden beds. For fruiting vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers, use Vegetable Focus instead.
