What does Diamond Nectar do?
Diamond Nectar accelerates nutrient absorption into plant roots through a natural process called mineral chelation. Low molecular weight Humic acids grab immobile & molecularly heavy minerals & transport them into plant tissues for faster growth & bigger yields.
Can you mix MaxiGro and MaxiBloom?
Yes and no. The Maxi Series is designed to use one part at a time, but in a time of transition it may be beneficial to mix the two at half strength each (makes a full strength nutrient solution). Use MaxiGro in the vegetative stage and MaxiBloom in the fruiting/flowering stage.
