Product Information

Full details

Growth Technology Formulex is a versatile, single-bottle nutrient solution ideal for hobby growers and professionals seeking a cost-effective and straightforward way to nourish plants from seedling to maturity. Its key benefit lies in its inbuilt buffering capacity, which helps maintain stable pH levels, simplifying nutrient management. A potential caveat is its concentrated nature, requiring accurate dilution for optimal results.

FAQs

Can Formulex be used for all stages of plant growth?

Yes, Formulex can be used for all stages, but it is particularly recommended for seedlings, young plants, and cuttings due to its balanced nutrient profile and ease of use.

What is the recommended dosage for soil and hydroponics?

For soil, the recommendation is 5ml per litre of water. For hydroponics, use 10ml per litre of reservoir water.

Does Formulex require pH adjustment?

Formulex is formulated with an inbuilt buffering capacity that usually maintains a pH of around 6 when mixed with tap water, often eliminating the need for separate pH adjustments.

Can Formulex be used for foliar feeding?

Yes, Formulex is suitable for foliar feeding. Mix at a rate of 5ml per litre of water and spray plants from top to bottom, ideally in low light conditions.

How concentrated is Formulex?

Formulex is highly concentrated and can make up to 100 times its volume in working solution.

Is Formulex suitable for houseplants?

Yes, Formulex is considered an ideal fertilizer for all houseplants, providing a complete and balanced nutrient supply.

How should Formulex be stored?

Store Formulex in its original container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly closed.

Troubleshooting

Nutrient solution appears cloudy after mixing

Ensure you are using clean water and that Formulex is properly diluted according to the instructions. Over-concentration can sometimes lead to solubility issues.

Plants show signs of nutrient deficiency or burn

Double-check the dilution ratio; incorrect mixing can lead to under or over-feeding. Ensure the pH of the final solution is appropriate for your plants, although Formulex typically buffers well.

Formulex is not maintaining stable pH

While Formulex has strong buffering, extreme water sources or very high/low ambient temperatures can affect pH stability. Test your source water pH and the final solution pH.
