What does DutchPro Explode do for plants during the bloom phase?
DutchPro Explode is a bud booster that enhances nutrient transport and increases sugar production during the bloom phase, resulting in bigger, denser buds with more trichomes. Greater sugar production gives plants the energy needed to harden buds, improve photosynthesis, and increase both yield and overall crop quality. DutchPro Explode also works to strengthen plants against fungi and bacteria-related diseases.
When during the grow cycle should DutchPro Explode be added to a feeding schedule?
DutchPro Explode is used exclusively during the bloom phase, starting at bloom week 3 and continuing through bloom week 8. The DutchPro feed chart recommends 1.9 mL per liter in bloom weeks 3 and 4, increasing to 3.8 mL per liter in bloom weeks 5 and 6, and reaching 5.7 mL per liter in bloom weeks 7 and 8. DutchPro Explode is not applied during veg weeks or the final flush.
What is the recommended dosage range for DutchPro Explode?
The general dosage range for DutchPro Explode is 0.5 mL to 1.5 mL per liter of water, though the DutchPro feed chart scales usage higher across bloom weeks, up to 5.7 mL per liter in the final bloom weeks. Growers should follow the DutchPro feed chart for stage-specific guidance to get the best results.
Is DutchPro Explode compatible with both hydroponic and soil growing systems?
Yes, DutchPro Explode is suitable for use in both hydroponic and soil growing systems. The liquid formula is designed to be easy to use and leaves no residuals, making DutchPro Explode a flexible addition to a variety of grow setups.
Does DutchPro Explode contain any PGRs or heavy metals, and is the formula safe to use?
DutchPro Explode contains no plant growth regulators and is free of heavy metals. DutchPro Explode is made with food-grade raw materials and has passed all relevant safety legislation, making the product safe for use in a grow environment.
What is the NPK of DutchPro Explode, and does using DutchPro Explode eliminate the need for a separate PK booster?
DutchPro Explode has an NPK of 0-0-4, meaning the formula delivers potassium without added nitrogen or phosphorus. DutchPro states that using Explode removes the need for an extra PK 13/14 supplement, simplifying the bloom-phase feeding program while still supporting bud development and density.
