Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves on plants
This can indicate a lack of nutrients. Ensure you are applying the diluted feed regularly (every 7-14 days) and that the dilution ratio is correct. Check soil moisture levels as well.
Lack of flowering or fruiting
Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight and water. The Growmore formula is designed to aid flowering and fruiting; regular application during the relevant growth phase is crucial.
Concentrate appears to have separated or thickened
Gently shake the bottle before measuring and diluting. Ensure the product has been stored correctly and has not been exposed to freezing temperatures.
Plants show signs of leaf burn after application
This may be due to applying the feed too strongly or in direct, hot sunlight. Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used and apply early in the morning or late in the evening. Flush the soil with plain water if severe.
