Flying Skull’s Elite plant foods are highly soluble nutrients. It delivers high quality nutrients to plants at low EC/PPM levels. You will use 2-3 times LESS than other brands. True lab quality growth in production areas can be achieved when using top feed to waste grow systems and Flying Skull’s ECWAM method of nutrient administration. There are three parts in the basic formula: Elite Micro, Elite Grow and Elite Bloom. Growers will find that by following the basic feeding schedule, plant growth will be excellent. However, the way these three formulas were created gives the grower the ability to easily modify the formula for his particular plants. The basic three part formula (Elite Micro, Grow and Bloom) is non organic and is particulate free. This is important to growers who use hydroponic systems like Deep Water Culture, since inanimate slime (stemming from organic particulate) is the leading cause of plant death and system failure. It is how you modify the amounts of Elite Micro, Elite Grow and Elite Bloom that pushes the plant from vegetation growth into bloom growth. This concept keeps the grower from having to purchase multiple products that virtually do the same thing. In other words, Flying Skull is formulated in such a manner that it costs less to obtain superior plant growth and consistent harvests. All three parts of the main plant food (Elite Micro, Elite Grow and Elite Bloom) are used in the first week or two of plant growth. While the plants are in vegetation mode the extra phosphorous and potassium from the Elite Bloom invigorates the roots and pushes them into growing strong. 7-14 days after being placed into the vegetation area, Elite Bloom is removed from the feed and only Elite Micro and Elite Grow are used. A week before switching to the bloom 12/12 lighting cycle, all three parts are used again. The extra phosphorous and potassium helps to build enhanced bud and blooms. As you can see, you can do a lot with only three main plant foods!
