TRIAL SUMMARY
- Spray-N-Grow increased yield on harvests 1-7 62.46%
- Spray-N-Grow increased yield on harvests 8-10 21.83%
- Spray-N-Grow increased the number of pods 43.08%
- Spray-N-Grow increased the root mass 74.07%
Spray-N-Grow advanced flowering over the control by several days, hence there was a significant increase in both early and later harvests
Comments by Dr. Morgan:
“Foliar fertilization with the Spray-N-Grow micronutrient complex can result in not only advanced flowering and greater flower and hence pod numbers, but also an increase in yields within the crop – an important consideration for any commercial hydroponic producer.”
