Default N P K Your Way

I came across these products and decided they were more applicable to container growers as we are limited by the volume of aggregate we can grow our plants in and therefore must supply nutrients to the plant during the different phases of growth. And during these phases the plants use different amonts of N P K and being able to taylor the amounts of each nutrient to that particular growth phase will greatly enhance production, fruit quality and disease resistance.
The product I came across is "Natures Nectar" which is OMRI listed certified organic. It comes in three flavors, Nitrogen 5-0-0, Phosphorous 0-2-0 and Potassium 0-0-5. So basically through the whole life cycle of the plant you can adjust your N-P-K to the different growth phases. Here's a link to one online retailer. They also carry the BioBizz nutrients I use which are BioGrow, Fish Mix and Algamic. Ami
