What is it exactly?
Super PK is a concentrated solution containing phosphorus and potassium. The chemical symbol of phosphorus is P, and the chemical symbol for potassium is K (from the Latin word Kalium). Super PK is a plant nutrient additive for when plants are flowering or fruiting.
What does it do then?
Phosphorus is a component of the nucleic acids RNA and DNA which are important in cell multiplication and growth. Phosphorus is part of a molecule called ATP which is involved in energy transfer inside cells. Also phosphorus is an important component of cell membranes where it plays a role in the interaction between the cell membrane surface and nutrients in the growing medium.
Potassium which next to nitrogen is the mineral nutrient required in the largest amount by plants. Potassium is important in a plants ability to handle stress from environmental factors like pathogens, drought, frost etc. Potassium also plays a very important role in osmoregulation or the control of the amount of water inside cells.
What does this mean then?
Basically at the end of the day we are talking about the quality of fruits and flowers, ie their health and vitality, resistance to pests and diseases and even things like flavour of fruit.
OK, how do I use it?
Super PK is a nutrient additive, so it is added to the nutrient solution. This is only done towards the end of the crop when the need for higher levels of phosphorus and potassium develops.
What about dose rates?
The maximum dose rate is 5mls of Super PK for each litre of nutrient solution. This will add 0.7mS to the EC of the nutrient solution so it may be a good idea to cut the strength of the nutrients a bit although it isn’t totally necessary.
How often should I dose the tank?
With run to waste systems Super PK only needs to be added once when the nutrient solution is mixed. For recirculating systems dose the tank weekly.
Any precautions?
Super PK isn’t regarded as a dangerous product, however good practice means care should be taken whenever handling chemicals
What should I expect if I use Super PK.
Super PK is all about the quality (not the quantity) of product produced by your plants. We are talking about sweetness, aroma and flavour, the things that make a crop better than your friends can do.
Introducing Growth Technology (GT) Super PK, the ultimate solution for nurturing your plants during the critical flowering and fruiting stages. Super PK is a concentrated formula rich in phosphorus and potassium, two vital elements for the optimal growth of your plants.
Phosphorus, denoted by the chemical symbol P, is the cornerstone of nucleic acids RNA and DNA, essential for cell multiplication and overall growth. Beyond that, it's a key player in ATP, a molecule involved in transferring energy within plant cells. Phosphorus also contributes significantly to cell membranes, facilitating the interaction between the cell surface and essential nutrients in the growing medium.
Potassium, symbolized as K (from the Latin word Kalium), stands right beside nitrogen as the most crucial mineral nutrient for plants. It plays a pivotal role in helping plants combat stress from environmental factors like pathogens, drought, and frost. Additionally, potassium regulates water levels within plant cells, a critical process known as osmoregulation.
Simple and Effective Application
Curious about how to make the most of Growth Technology (GT) Super PK? We've simplified the process to ensure you get the best results with ease.
To get started, add Super PK to your nutrient solution, but remember, this should be done during the later stages of your crop's growth when the demand for higher levels of phosphorus and potassium arises.
Concerned about dosages? The recommended maximum dose is 5ml of Super PK for every liter of your nutrient solution. Keep in mind that this addition will increase the EC of the nutrient solution by 0.7mS. You can adjust the strength of your nutrient mix as needed, although it's not always required.
For those using run-to-waste systems, a single addition of Super PK during nutrient solution preparation is sufficient. In the case of recirculating systems, consider dosing the tank weekly for consistent and optimal results.
Safety First, Quality Always
At Growth Technology (GT), we prioritize safety while delivering exceptional results. Although Super PK is not considered a hazardous product, we advocate for responsible handling when dealing with any chemicals.
So, what can you expect from Super PK? In a nutshell, it's all about enhancing the quality of your fruits and flowers, not just the quantity. Brace yourself for sweeter, more aromatic, and flavorful produce. Your harvest will surpass your friends' and set you on a path to gardening greatness.
