(Left: control; Right: Treated with Aguaphos)
Picture on the right: control – 100% compost, treated – 100% compost with AguaPhos.
• Treated plants had 15-20% more leaves and more tassels
• Phosphate levels in AguaPhos treated plant-roots were 12.7% higher
Cannabis Trials: Hydroponic Grow house
5 week treatment,
Flowering stage only
Key differences:
• Wet weights of AguaPhos treated plants (1.5g/week) was 27.3% higher than control
• Buds of AguaPhos treated plants were larger than control samples
Control bud: ~32 mm x 62 mm
Hi-dose bud ~40 mm x 80 mm
