Urtimax is a nettle brew, not a concentrate. Terra Aquatica list it from the first true leaves through to preflowering on their organic charts, and not during flowering. Avoid foliar use during flowering and keep any foliar solution below EC 0.6 mS. Terra Aquatica's own caveat: dosage and EC levels are for guidance only.
