The Genesis Formula

The MicroBase contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and the micro nutrients you will need in your recipes. Micronutrients are trace elements that are essential to plant growth. To varying degrees, MicroBase will appear in most formulations. This solution is formulated to provide all the trace elements required for essential internal plant functions without danger of a detrimental mineral build up from repeated usage. High quality chelated micronutrients, supply superior ion exchange, aiding in plant absorption and preventing elemental lock up, common with non chelated minerals. The MicroBase Formula also includes nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium which are used in proportionally large quantities by the plant. The MicroBase, is the foundation of our complete nutrient system, and should be used in combination with the Genesis Grow or Bloom supplements.

The Grow #1 provides nitrate nitrogen, potassium, and calcium. Some plant varieties and growth conditions respond best to non-ammoniacal nitrate nitrogen formulas. This mix is specially blended to provide additional nitrogen for the foliage stage of leaf and stem growth. Grow #1 contains nitrate nitrogen which makes it especially desirable for steady, compact, dark green growth. Use for house plants, other long term plants, and for plants growing in low light conditions. This formula is often preferred for rockwool mediums, to maintain a stable nutrient pH. Grow #1 also provides high calcium, often deficient in other commercially available fertilizers. Use Grow #1 in combination with MicroBase, Grow #2 and Bloom #3 as desired. As separate components, the Genesis Formula system facilitates the capability to easily vary the nitrogen levels in your nutrient mixes.

The Grow #2 provides ammoniacal nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Ammoniacal nitrogen is easily absorbed by plants. The result is fast growth over a short cycle. Very suitable for production crops. Grow #2 is an ammonium nitrogen formula also providing calcium and potassium. Ammonium nitrogen is a highly active form of nitrogen immediately available and quickly assimilated by plant mechanisms. Beneficial for high yield and short cycle crops in accelerated growth environments. Super fast exaggerated succulent growth is characteristic of this blend. Excellent as a foliar spray for first aid to nitrogen deficient crops. Not recommended for low light conditions because elongation may result.

The Bloom #3 is lower in nitrogen and has higher proportions of phosphorus and potassium. Phosphorus and potassium promote rooting and are essential during flower and fruit production. Genesis Formula #3 is a bloom and fruit promoting blend designed to encourage flower bud formation and enhance the later stages of plant development. It provides additional phosphorus and potassium to stimulate blossoms and fruit production for maximum yield and early harvest. It is also excellent as a starter formula to aid in the initiation of new roots and to reduce transplant shock. Use with MicroBase and Grow formulas whenever increased phosphorus and potassium are desired.
