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 nutrient 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 9-3-6 compatible with?
Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 can be used 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 consistently across any medium without causing salt build-up when used at recommended rates.
Does Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 require a separate Cal-Mag supplement?
No, Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 includes calcium and magnesium at the ideal 4:1 ratio, which eliminates the need to purchase or mix a separate Cal-Mag product. This makes Foliage-Pro a true one-part complete formula rather than a base nutrient that requires additional supplements.
How should Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 be applied, and what are the recommended dilution rates?
Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 is primarily intended as a root drench but can also be applied as a foliar spray. For maintenance, mix 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. per gallon of water with every watering. For production feeding, mix 1 tsp. per gallon once a week. For monthly feeding, use 2 to 3 tsp. per gallon. For foliar application, mix 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. per gallon and spray directly onto leaves. Siphon mixer users should mix 2 to 4 fl. oz. per gallon at a 1:15 ratio for a concentrate feed solution.
Which plants benefit most from the N-P-K ratio in Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6?

The low phosphorus level also makes Foliage-Pro a strong choice for phosphorus-sensitive plants.
Is Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 urea-free, and will the formula cause salt build-up in growing systems?
