Final Part-RIPEN
Ripen is a complete late-flowering nutrient/stimulant requiring no additional boosters.
- Run for 10 days, or as needed, then use FloraKleen to finish or harvest your crop directly.
- In soil: Apply in pH adjusted water at up to 4ml/L to match or slightly exceed your previous EC (up to 2.0). Apply until leaf yellowing occurs and/or ripening is satisfactory. This can take from 10 to 20 days. Then use FloraKleen to finish or harvest your crop directly.
- Expert growers can use Ripen to manipulate water stress to maximize active principal concentration. Minimize splitting in soft fruit culture: target EC 2.6 ms in hydro and target EC 2.0 ms in soil.
It increases flowering and production of active principles, and eliminates nutrient excess.
Ripen acts in 3 ways:
- It sends the plant a strong signal that it is coming to the end of its life. This prompts the plant to accelerate the ripening process.
- It forces the plant to strengthen its defenses and thus increase essential oil and active principle production.
- It delivers all the mineral salts the plants need in a form that is easy to assimilate. In case of a previous accumulation of nitrate or microelements. This helps metabolize residues, which improves taste.
Outdoors, Ripen enables you to quickly harvest a crop before it is spoiled by cold and damp weather.
And in case of a severe infestation of fungi or insects.
It can allow you to accelerate the natural cycle and recover something out of a crop that would otherwise be completely lost.
