Iron is a core component of chlorophyll, and chlorophyll drives photosynthesis - so when iron runs short the plant cannot produce energy, and you see stunted growth, chlorosis (yellowing of leaves) and reduced fruiting. Feeding iron through the leaf gets it into the plant quickly, keeping foliage deep green and photosynthesis running through the weeks that set up the whole crop.

Because iron moves poorly once inside the plant, it shows first on the new growth at the top. A weekly foliar pass through veg and early flower keeps iron where it is needed, so photosynthesis stays high and low yields never take hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDose:\u003c\/strong\u003e add a maximum of \u003cstrong\u003e5 ml per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e of water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e spray the plant \u003cstrong\u003eweekly\u003c\/strong\u003e with this nutrient solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e use through the growth phase and up to and including the \u003cstrong\u003ethird week of the flowering phase\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e apply enough for the liquid to drip from the leaves, covering both leaf surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeat and coco:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for all peat and coconut substrates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIrrigation systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e flush the pipes after use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e hydrological methods such as NFT, DWC and aeroponics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iron foliar spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximum 5 ml per litre of water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weekly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Growth phase to the end of week 3 of flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable Substrates:\u003c\/strong\u003e All peat and coconut substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Suitable For:\u003c\/strong\u003e NFT, deep water culture and aeroponics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flush irrigation pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Plagron","offers":[{"title":"250mls","offer_id":53445706285322,"sku":null,"price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500mls","offer_id":53445706318090,"sku":null,"price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":53445706350858,"sku":null,"price":32.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/nutrients-plagron-vita-race-foliar-39889565483223.webp?v=1785324969","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/plagron-vita-race-foliar","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
