Quick Answer
Hy-Gen Nitro-K is a liquid plant additive for growers using soil, coco, run-to-waste or recirculating hydroponic systems. Its organic-based nitrogen, potassium and chelated trace elements are intended for vegetative growth and the transition into early flowering. TG Hydroponics offers 1L, 5L and 20L variants.
Product Description
HY-GEN formulates Nitro-K to supplement a complete feeding program during active vegetative growth and into early flower. The liquid combines nitrogen and potassium with chelated trace elements, while organic acids help keep nutrients soluble and available in the root zone. Potassium supports the plant's transition toward flowering, and the manufacturer also lists foliar application as an option.
Nitro-K is an additive rather than a complete base nutrient. Use it with a suitable fertiliser program and follow the current product label or official HY-GEN feed schedule for the crop, growth stage and system.
