Securing a continuous nutrient supply to plants throughout their growth cycle is pivotal for achieving sustained, high yields. Just as in nature, both the deficiency and excess of key nutrients can significantly limit plant productivity. Rootinn addresses this challenge head-on with its innovative, 100% natural fertilizers, tailored to enhance plant vitality and growth while minimizing environmental impact.

In one of the trials conducted during the La hydro trial, Rootinn’s product lineup including PowerFlour, Boron, Mg12, and Fe20, was meticulously applied across various stages of hemp cultivation to maximize plant health and productivity. The following details outline how the trial was meticulously managed, controlling the application of Rootinn’s fertilizers across different environmental conditions to assess their impact on the growth dynamics and resilience of hemp.

Trial Setup and Environmental Controls 

The trial was designed to simulate a range of environmental conditions, from controlled indoor settings to variable outdoor climates, to rigorously assess the adaptability and effectiveness of Rootinn’s fertilizers. Each stage of the hemp plants' growth was carefully monitored, with specific attention to:

Pre-Soaking Phase

• Objective: To prepare the seedlings with a nutrient-rich start.
• Method: Rockwool cubes were pre-soaked in a solution of Rootinn PowerFlour at a concentration of 1 gram per liter. This initial soaking ensured that the seedlings had access to essential nutrients right from the germination stage.

Top Dressing

• Objective: To support early root and shoot development.
• Method: As the seedlings established in their growth medium, a top dressing was applied directly to the moist cubes. This included 2 grams per liter of PowerFlour to promote vigorous early growth, and 1 gram per liter of Boron to enhance root strength and development.

Foliar Application

• Objective: To sustain growth through vegetative and flowering stages.
• Method: Starting from planting and extending into the flowering stage, the plants received weekly foliar applications. This regimen included:some text
  • PowerFlour at 0.5 grams per liter to continually support overall plant health.
  • Boron at 0.1 grams per liter and Fe20 at 0.1 grams per liter during the early stages to enhance photosynthetic efficiency and stress tolerance.
  • Mg12 at 0.5 grams per liter, particularly from the second to the early fifth week of flowering, to support chlorophyll production and flowering processes.

This detailed application schedule was designed to optimize each growth stage of the hemp plants, ensuring that they received the right nutrients at the right times to promote a robust growth cycle. The integration of Rootinn’s advanced fertilizers into the cultivation process not only improved the efficiency of water and nutrient use but also significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of the harvest.

Documented Results and Measurements

The results of this meticulous application provide clear insights into how the natural fertilizers of Rootinn — PowerFlour, Boron, Mg12, and Fe20 — impact the cultivation of hemp, leading to notable improvements in plant growth, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

1. Outstanding Plant Growth and Water Efficiency 

The trial demonstrated outstanding growth in hemp plants treated with Rootinn’s fertilizers. Plant growth was markedly enhanced, showing a 25% reduction in water usage. This is particularly significant given the increasing concerns over water scarcity in agriculture. The ability of Rootinn’s fertilizers to deliver more with less water represents a major step forward in sustainable cultivation practices.

2. Reduced Nutrient Requirements 

Another significant finding from the trial was the 40-50% decrease in hydro nutrient requirements. This efficiency is crucial in reducing the overall environmental footprint of agricultural practices, ensuring that plants achieve optimal health without excessive use of resources. By maintaining a nutrient solution with an average Electrical Conductivity (EC) of 0.8 and a pH of 6.2, the trial not only supported substantial yield but did so under more eco-friendly conditions than typically required.

3. Enhanced Harvest Quality 

Perhaps most impressively, the harvest quality saw significant improvements. The use of Rootinn’s fertilizers not only increased the quantity of the yield but also its quality. This dual benefit highlights Rootinn’s commitment to enhancing efficiency and eco-friendliness in agriculture — a critical factor as the industry seeks to meet high standards of productivity while adhering to environmental sustainability.

The trial underscored Rootinn's fertilizers as game-changers in the field of agriculture. By positively impacting water consumption and fertilizer needs, these natural products are proving to be invaluable in promoting healthier plant growth and more sustainable agricultural practices. The findings from La hydro's trial provide a solid foundation for advocating wider adoption of these innovative fertilizers in diverse farming contexts.
