Use alongside Organicare Grow and Organicare True Earth Potting Mix for a complete organic system.

Grow and Bloom are formulated with a blend of organic and natural materials that provide plant-available nutrients. Some of these nutrients can be taken up immediately by the plant when applied, which promotes initial growth. Grow and Bloom also have nutrients that are slowly converted into plant-available forms that promote sustained growth up to 4 weeks after being applied. The proprietary formulation marries various component release rates to offer superb nutrient availability. This provides growers with the flexibility they often require.

How To Use Organicare Grow & Bloom - A Systems Approach

Organicare can be used for plants in containers or in-ground, whether it be in home gardens or commercially. Both the Organicare Grow and Organicare Bloom are designed to work well with Botanicare’s organic and natural OMRI-listed growing media, Organicare True Earth Potting Mix.

For use in containers

For the initial application, you can incorporate or top-dress (surface apply) the product. Lightly incorporate the granules into the surface of the growing media when top-dressing. Always apply the product dry - DO NOT mix with water. Blend the product at 9 to 18 grams of product per gallon of growing media when using Organicare Grow and 12.5 - 25 grams of product per gallon when using Organicare Bloom. This equates to about 0.55 - 1.10 grams of N per gallon of growing media. (0.25 to 0.5 lbs of N per cubic yard of growing media. This equates to about 3.5 to 7.0 lbs of product per cubic yard when using Organicare Grow and 5 to 10 lbs of product per cubic yard when using Organicare Bloom.)

Table 1. Sugested container fertilizer program for crops having a vegetative, or growth phase, and a flowering or bloom phase

Notes: For production periods longer than 12 weeks, reapply the Week 1 rates every 3 weeks until plants begin flowering. 1 TBSP of product is approximately 11 grams..

For use on in-ground crops - Gardens or field production

For field production, target 125 -150 lbs N / acre, making sure to account for N credits in the soil. Fertilizer should be hand applied or surface applied in rows, ideally with light incorporation into the soil surface.

• Apply half of the target rate using Grow at the time of planting
• Apply the other half using Bloom once plants start flowering
• Rates assume about 2000 plants per acre. Higher densities may require higher rates of application

Table 2. Suggested rates of use of Organicare Grow and Bloom when using for in-ground applications

Note: A general rule of thumb is to apply 0.5 lbs per plant for Organicare Grow and 0.75 lbs or Organicare Bloom. This is assuming about 2000 plants per acre or about 22 square feet per plant (i.e. 4’ x 5’ spacing). 3’ rows usually include a 2 foot aisle.
