Useful Information

Plant Bio

The world’s only liquid fertiliser to contain every essential plant nutrient

Liquid Gold Leaf is a revolutionary and innovative liquid fertiliser for all plants and crops. The technical advance is the inclusion of fully soluble calcium, formerly too difficult and expensive for liquid fertiliser. The current best selling liquid fertilisers do not have calcium on their list of ingredients, yet it is essential for healthy plant growth.

The formulation of Liquid Gold Leaf includes plant biostimulants, which have many roles in plant health and vigour. Biostimulants: reduces fertiliser requirements; help to make immobile nutrients, e.g. calcium, to flow around the plant for optimum nutrition; stimulate the plant’s self defence mechanisms for reduced need to apply chemical pesticides. Liquid Gold Leaf optimises plant health and growth.

Liquid Gold Leaf contains Biorational ingredients, i.e. materials that only have a positive effect on the environment. There is no message of “Less harmful” or “Reduced risk of environmental damage”. Liquid Gold Leaf has only positive benefits when used according to instructions.

So how does Liquid Gold Leaf Do All This?

Gold Leaf supplies all essential nutrients at once. This is no easy feat, and has been the ‘holy grail’ of hydroponic fertiliser producers since the industry began in the 1970s. The reason it is usually not possible is because calcium and phosphate normally precipitate out if mixed together, hence why other hydroponic fertilisers are delivered in A and B bottles.

While you may find that there are products on the market claiming to be ‘one part’ complete fertilizers, these are often very weak (e.g. NPK = 1 : 0.3 : 3 ), or are suspensions of insoluble material. In contrast, Liquid Gold Leaf is packed with fully soluble nutrients (NPK = 9:5:16 ).

To prevent issues with pH limiting the plants ability to access nutrients Liquid Gold Leaf is already at the pH optimum for growth (6.5). Furthermore, Liquid Gold Leaf is also highly buffered meaning the fertigation liquid will not be quick to drift away from this optimum as the plants start removing nutrients and exudes acids from their roots.

A consistent formulation means that you do not necessarily need an EC meter to get the correct concentration. Just follow the simple dosage instructions on the label. A pump dispenser is included so that every dose is the same and no measuring cylinders are required for accurate dosing.

In addition to replacing the conventional A+B fertilisers, Liquid Gold Leaf is also superior in relation to the ingredients; in particular, it is not packed with chlorides, which are often far too high in most liquid fertilisers as potassium chloride is a cheap way of getting potassium into solution. Liquid Gold Leaf uses other anions to deliver potassium. Chlorides are only required by plants in tiny amounts, which are more than easily met by the ‘hardness’ found in water. Any levels above this are not of benefit and potentially detrimental to plant growth.

If you are using an EC meter, it is important to note that Liquid Gold Leaf contains no chlorides. You will therefore not want to match your usual EC level as chlorides give a very high EC value and the higher quality nutrients in Liquid Gold Leaf are not as conductive.

Liquid Gold Leaf also makes fertilising hydroponic crops safer with no need to handle dangerous acids. However, as is standard for most chemical fertilisers, the product in the concentrated form is classified as hazardous (a skin and eye irritant similar to washing up liquid) so should be handled according to the stated instructions only.

While Liquid Gold Leaf was initially designed with the home hydroponic market in mind, there is no reason why it cannot also be used in the commercial sector. It would be a great option for fertilising crops in growth rooms where space is limited and where dedicated A and B holding tanks are not ideal as they take up a significant amount of the space that could be used to grow crops. Such scenarios include the use of shipping containers to grow crops in urban areas.

In addition to being the only concentrated complete hydroponic fertiliser, Liquid Gold Leaf also has a unique colour and appearance. It also produces an intriguing ‘Pernod’ style cloud as it goes into solution.
