Evening all. So after a year of testing in various setups, mediums, and application methods The End is now available for purchase https://www.greenhandorganic.co.uk/liqu ... es/the-end
For those of you that haven't heard this was in the works, or those that have and would like more detail I'll fill you in:
The End is an advanced regenerative fertiliser that fuses npk with a hit list of the best materials regenerative agriculture has to offer. It is a true one bottle alternative to the multi bottle ranges traditionally found in hydroponics stores. There is nothing else like it available in a single bottle formulation and given its price point I doubt that there will be any time soon. It was intended for use as a foliar fertiliser for outdoor soil grown crops but I felt that it had massive potential to span the gulf between soil grown produce and coco grown efforts where we're often told organic materials are messy and cause problems in pumped systems etc. I think The End is the last word on coco growers being unable to make use of these materials and if you take a look at @Keeno current grow and the one that was eaten by a biblical plague of locusts (thrips) last year you'll see the possibilities.
The End has an NPK value of 10-10-10 and integrates: biostimulants, amino acids, enzymes, micro-organisms, plant derived growth regulators, trace minerals, saponins, Triacontanol and vitamins. These taken from fish emulsion, worm castings, kelp, aloe, alfalfa, plant digestates, humic & fulvic acids, and sea minerals. It is ph neutral.
Because of the ingredients used in The End, it has great wetting capability and can penetrate any part of a plant and in testing has significantly boosted fruit and flower production along with oil production. Coverage is also fantastic .3 - .7ml per m2 as a foliar feed in just enough water to cover the required area. For reservoir and hand feed situations start around .3ml per litre rising to 2ml per litre max progressively in line with your plant's development and nutrient requirements.
So now we've established what The End is, lets discuss what it isn't:
its not calmag! The End is not compatible with soluble calcium products under any circumstances so if you need to load up on calcium, foliar application of Synergist https://www.greenhandorganic.co.uk/liqu ... /synergist is your best option. They're designed to work together and won't give you any trouble.
It is not a PK booster, if you feel that you need a boost of PK use Triad Kelp 1-0-15 in tandem with Seabird Guano+ 0-10-0 these will give you a very fast hit of natural PK. My advice is to top feed these not put them in the tank so that the guano stays in the medium rather than getting trapped in a reservoir. https://www.greenhandorganic.co.uk/solu ... triad-kelp https://www.greenhandorganic.co.uk/liqu ... bird-guano
Like any new product in your regime you'll need to figure the right dose for your circumstances as you go. Start low and build up. We've all seen feed charts where the recommended dose turns the apple of your eye into a burnt out mess. Be cautious and double check your measurements if you're not sure.
Lastly we have cost: The End is £19.99 per litre. Did I hear someone say ouch? As an example it would take four bottles from the Canna range to halfway compare with what The End offers. Those being A/B, Rhizotonic, Cannzym, and Boost Accelerator. Quick price for a litre of each on a well known midlands hydroponics shop gives a total of £128.96 for a litre of each. but 1l of boost accelerator makes 250 litres when diluted, cannazym 400 litres, Rhizotonic 250 litres, A/B 500 litres (seedling) - 250 litres (peak nutrient requirement). The end makes between 3333 litres (seedling) and 500 litres (peak nutrient requirement) for 15.5% of the cost. I'm not picking on canna here just trying to demonstrate that its price point is monstrously cheap. This comparison is for coco people and soil people using liquid ferts, for outdoor soil/living soil use the foliar rates its even bigger 3333m2 to 1428m2 at peak requirement from a litre bottle in just enough water to cover area.
