The Industry Standard For Young Plants
Formulex is possibly the most famous young plant nutrient on the market. For years, growers have relied on it to safely feed seedlings and cuttings once they begin demanding nutrition beyond what propagation media alone can provide.
Its gentle formulation helps support healthy green growth without overwhelming delicate young roots, making it ideal for plants in their earliest stages.
At the same time, Formulex is surprisingly versatile and can continue to be used throughout the vegetative stage for both soil and hydroponic plants.
How Formulex Works
Growth Technology Formulex provides plants with a complete nutritional profile containing all essential macro and micro nutrients required for healthy growth.
The formula is carefully balanced to support:
- Healthy root development
- Strong early vegetative growth
- Improved leaf colour and vigour
- Healthy stem and shoot development
- Consistent nutrient uptake
One of the standout features of Formulex is its excellent pH stability. Thanks to its built-in buffering capacity, the solution remains remarkably stable with most water types, reducing the need for constant pH adjustment.
Perfect For Multiple Growing Styles
Formulex is one of those rare nutrients that works across almost every type of growing setup.
| Application | Recommended Dose |
|---|---|
| Soil and hand watering | 5ml per litre |
| Hydroponics | 10ml per litre |
| Foliar feeding | 5ml per litre |
It can be used:
- As a root feed for seedlings and vegging plants
- In hydroponic reservoirs
- As a foliar spray for rapid nutrient uptake
- Alongside other Growth Technology additives and stimulants
Excellent Foliar Feed Performance
Formulex is particularly well known for its effectiveness as a foliar spray. The balanced nutrient profile and gentle formulation make it ideal for delivering nutrition directly through the leaves during early growth.
For best results, spray plants during low-light conditions or shortly after lights-out to help avoid leaf burn caused by intense light hitting wet foliage.
Always ensure both the tops and undersides of leaves are thoroughly coated.
