Backcountry Blend Grow is a controlled release granular base nutrient. It can easily be applied to soil to provide your plants with the most ideal array of nutrients for the vegetative stage. Backcountry Blend Grow contains a carefully selected blend of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) that are measured specifically for the vegetative stage. The Grow formula includes two sources of nitrogen which is crucial in the vegetative stage. Nitrogen is vital as it plays a major role in a plant’s ability to perform photosynthesis. Nitrogen also promotes vigorous plant growth and dark green foliage. The granular form allows for a controlled release of nutrients to the plant to avoid burning and overfeeding. It can either be applied by top-dress application or be mixed throughout the soil. The low application rate makes feeding simple by only requiring application every 3-5 weeks so you can focus on tending to your plants to get the best results possible.
