What does Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 do for plants during vegetative growth?
Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 is a complete, one-part liquid nutrition formula designed to deliver rapid vegetative growth by supplying all 6 essential macronutrients and all 10 essential micronutrients in a single concentrated solution. The high nitrate to ammoniacal nitrogen ratio promotes shorter internodal spacing, resulting in stronger stems and healthier foliage structure capable of supporting heavy buds.
What growing media and systems is Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro compatible with?
Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro is formulated for use in all growing media and irrigation systems, including hydroponics and soil. Because the minerals in Foliage-Pro are already in solution and immediately available to the plant, the formula works effectively across any medium without requiring adjustments to the feeding schedule.
Does Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro eliminate the need for a separate Cal-Mag supplement?
Yes, Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro includes calcium and magnesium at the ideal 4:1 ratio, which eliminates the need to add a separate Cal-Mag product. This makes Foliage-Pro a true one-part complete formula rather than a base nutrient that requires additional supplementation.
How do you mix and apply Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro, and can the formula be used as a foliar spray?
Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro is primarily intended as a root drench, with mixing rates ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per gallon for maintenance watering, 1 tsp per gallon once a week for production, and 2 to 3 tsp per gallon for monthly feeding. Foliage-Pro can also be applied as a foliar spray at 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per gallon sprayed directly onto leaves for a quick correction of mineral deficiencies.
Will Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro cause salt buildup in growing media or irrigation systems?
Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro is urea-free and formulated to eliminate salt buildup when used at recommended rates. This makes Foliage-Pro a safe long-term choice for recirculating hydroponic systems, drip irrigation, and other setups where salt accumulation is a common concern.
Which plants benefit most from the N-P-K ratio in Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6?
The 3-1-2 N-P-K ratio in Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 is recommended by the American Rose Society and the University of Florida as the ideal ratio for most plants, including roses, tropicals, legumes, and tomatoes. The low-phosphorus profile also makes Foliage-Pro suitable for phosphorus-sensitive plants that can be harmed by higher-phosphorus formulas.
