Frequently Asked Questions

CalMag provides calcium and magnesium, two essential nutrients that support plant structure and overall health. Calcium helps strengthen cell walls, while magnesium plays a key role in photosynthesis.

Together, they support healthy growth and help prevent common deficiencies that can affect plant performance.

We always recommend that you use CalMag when growing in Soft Water or Reverse Osmosis (RO) water at a rate of 1ml/L. We also recommend that you use CalMag when growing in moderately hard water (EC=0.4) at a rate of 0.5ml/L. CalMag can also be useful in high humidity environments as this can cause calcium deficiencies. In this instance you can add to your tank or for a more instant remedy you can foliar spray at the rate of 15ml/L.

Yes, coco coir often requires additional calcium and magnesium because it can bind these elements, making them less available to plants.

Using a supplement such as Shogun CalMag helps ensure plants receive a consistent supply, supporting healthy growth and preventing common deficiencies associated with coco growing. If you are in a hard water area (EC = 0.6+) then you shouldn't need CalMag.

CalMag is usually applied regularly as part of your feeding routine, depending on plant needs and growing conditions.

Consistency is important, especially in systems where calcium and magnesium are not readily available in the medium or water source.

Common signs include yellowing leaves, brown spots, or weakened growth. Calcium deficiencies often show as irregular leaf damage, while magnesium deficiencies can cause yellowing between the veins.

Identifying these symptoms early allows you to correct the issue before it affects overall plant development.

Yes, CalMag is designed to be used alongside your regular nutrient programme. It complements base nutrients by supplying additional calcium and magnesium where needed.

Using a product like Shogun CalMag alongside your feed helps maintain balance and ensures plants have access to these essential elements throughout the grow cycle.

Yes, using too much CalMag can lead to nutrient imbalances and may interfere with the uptake of other elements.

It’s important to follow recommended application rates and monitor plant response to maintain a balanced nutrient profile.

It depends on your water source. Some tap water already contains calcium and magnesium, while others — especially soft or filtered water — may lack sufficient levels.

Testing your water can help determine whether supplementation is needed. In cases where levels are low, adding a product such as Shogun CalMag can help maintain proper nutrient balance.

A ripening product is used during the final stage of flowering to help plants finish strongly. At this point, plants are no longer focused on growth, but on completing flower development and reaching maturity.

These products are designed to support that process by helping the plant direct its remaining energy into final development, rather than continuing vegetative activity.

Ripening products can be effective when used at the right stage and as part of a well-managed feeding programme. They are not a substitute for good growing conditions, but they can help support plants during the final phase of development.

Growers often use them to encourage a stronger finish, particularly when aiming to maximise the final stage of the cycle rather than ending feeding too early.

Ripening products are typically introduced in the final stage of flowering, when plants are approaching maturity and no longer focused on producing new growth.

Using a product like Shogun Dragon Force at this point helps support the final phase of development, encouraging plants to finish strongly before harvest.

Dragon Force is designed as a standalone product that you use in the last 7 days before flushing with water. We, however, recommend that you use Sumo Active Boost during this week for added punch.

Flushing practices vary between growers, and there is no single approach that applies in all situations. Some growers reduce or remove nutrients before harvest, while others continue feeding in a controlled way right up until harvest

Using a ripening product such as Shogun Dragon Force allows growers to support the final phase of development without necessarily relying on a traditional flush, depending on their overall feeding strategy.

Yes, the final stage of flowering is still an active period of development. Plants can continue to mature and refine their structure during this time, particularly if conditions remain stable and nutrition is managed correctly.

This is why many growers focus on supporting the final stage rather than cutting inputs too early, helping plants complete their lifecycle as effectively as possible.

Yes, ripening products can be used across a range of growing systems, including soil, coco, and hydroponics.

Shogun Dragon Force is designed to integrate into different feeding programmes, making it suitable for use in a variety of growing environments during the final stage of the cycle.

Foliar feeding involves applying nutrients directly to plant leaves as a fine spray. The leaves can absorb certain nutrients through their surface, allowing for faster uptake compared to root feeding.

It’s typically used as a supplement to a normal feeding programme, helping plants respond quickly when additional support is needed.

Yes, foliar feeding can be effective when used correctly. Because nutrients are absorbed directly through the leaves, plants can respond more quickly than through root feeding alone.

It’s particularly useful for supporting early growth through to mid-flowering or addressing specific needs, rather than replacing a full nutrient programme.

Foliar feeding is safe when applied correctly, but care needs to be taken with timing and conditions. Spraying under strong light or in high temperatures can increase the risk of leaf stress.

Using a ready-to-use product like Shogun Geisha Foliar helps remove the risk of incorrect mixing, making it easier to apply safely and consistently.

Foliar sprays are best applied when plants are not under intense, direct light. This is typically earlier or later in the day, when conditions are more stable and evaporation is reduced. If you have dimmable LEDs then it is a good idea to turn the intensity down for 1-2 hours after spraying.

This allows the solution to remain on the leaf surface long enough for proper absorption.

Foliar feeding is most commonly used during early growth and vegetative stages, when leaves are the main focus of development.

During flowering, many growers reduce or stop foliar spraying to avoid moisture settling on developing flowers. If used later in the cycle, it should be applied carefully and with good airflow.

Products such as Shogun Geisha Foliar are generally best used earlier in the plant’s lifecycle for consistent results.

Some foliar products require dilution before use, which can introduce the risk of incorrect mixing.

Shogun Geisha Foliar is supplied as a ready-to-use spray, so it can be applied directly without preparation. This makes it a simple and reliable option, especially when consistency and ease of use are important.

No, foliar feeding does not replace root feeding. While it allows nutrients to be absorbed quickly through the leaves, plants still rely on their root system for the majority of nutrient uptake.

Foliar sprays are best used as a targeted supplement alongside a full feeding programme.

Foliar sprays can cause damage if applied incorrectly, particularly if plants are sprayed under strong light or in unsuitable conditions.

Using a properly formulated product and applying it at the right time helps avoid this. A ready-to-use solution like Shogun Geisha Foliar simplifies application and reduces the risk of errors.

A root stimulant helps plants develop a stronger, more efficient root system, which is key to overall growth. When roots establish quickly and spread well, plants are able to take up water and nutrients more effectively.

That usually leads to healthier development early on and more consistent performance later in the cycle.

It’s best to introduce a root stimulant early — typically when working with seedlings, cuttings, or just after transplanting. These are the stages where roots are forming and need the most support.

Using Shogun Katana Roots at this point helps plants settle in more quickly and build a solid foundation for future growth.

In most cases, a root stimulant is used regularly during the early stages, alongside a light feeding routine. As the root system becomes established, you can gradually reduce or stop using it.

Using Katana Roots consistently helps ensure roots develop properly, rather than trying to correct issues later.

Yes, and in fact they’re designed to work together. Nutrients supply what the plant needs to grow, while a root stimulant helps the plant access those nutrients more efficiently.

Not directly — but it can have a big impact on how efficiently a plant grows. A stronger root system means better uptake of water and nutrients, which supports faster, healthier development above ground.

This is where Katana Roots comes in, helping plants create the conditions needed for improved growth throughout their lifecycle.

Yes, this is one of the most useful times to apply it. Transplanting can stress plants, especially as roots adjust to a new environment.

Using Shogun Katana Roots after transplanting helps reduce that stress and encourages roots to establish quickly in the new medium.

Using more than recommended won’t usually improve results and can sometimes upset the balance of your feeding programme. Like most inputs, it works best when used at the right levels.

They do. Root stimulants are commonly used in soil, coco, and hydroponic systems. The goal is the same in each case — to support strong root development, regardless of the medium.

A PK booster provides additional phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), which are essential during the flowering stage. These nutrients support energy transfer, flower development, and overall plant performance.

Used at the right time, a PK booster helps plants direct more energy into producing well-developed flowers.

PK boosters are typically introduced during the flowering stage, once plants have moved beyond early development and begin focusing on flower production.

Using a product like Shogun PK Warrior 9/18 at this stage helps support increased nutrient demand and encourages strong flower development.

PK boosters are usually applied at specific points during the flowering stage rather than continuously throughout the entire cycle.

Following a structured feeding schedule helps ensure plants receive the right support at the right time without creating nutrient imbalances.

Yes, PK boosters are designed to complement base nutrients. While base nutrients provide the full range of essential elements, a PK booster increases phosphorus and potassium levels to support flowering.

Using Shogun PK Warrior 9/18 alongside your base feed helps maintain a balanced programme while enhancing performance during this stage.

PK ratios refer to the levels of phosphorus and potassium in a booster. Different ratios are designed to support plants in slightly different ways during the flowering stage.

A formulation like 9/18 provides a higher level of potassium relative to phosphorus, which can support overall plant performance and help maintain balance in the nutrient solution.

Products such as Shogun PK Warrior 9/18 are designed to deliver this balance, supporting strong development without overwhelming the plant with excessive phosphorus.

Yes, using too much of a PK booster can lead to nutrient imbalances, which may negatively affect plant health and development.

It’s important to follow recommended application rates and monitor plant response throughout the flowering stage.

PK boosters can contribute to improved yield when used correctly as part of a balanced feeding programme.

By supporting flower development and helping plants utilise nutrients more efficiently, they can enhance overall performance. However, results depend on the full growing setup rather than any single input.

Yes, PK boosters can be used across a range of growing systems, including soil, coco, and hydroponics.

Shogun PK Warrior 9/18 is formulated to perform consistently across different media, making it easy to integrate into most feeding programmes.

Yes, coco coir is an excellent growing medium for a wide range of plants. It offers strong water retention while still allowing plenty of air to reach the roots, which helps promote faster and healthier growth.

Unlike soil, coco coir contains no nutrients of its own, giving growers full control over feeding. When paired with a high-quality nutrient range, it can deliver growth rates similar to hydroponic systems while remaining easy to manage.

It depends on your experience level and growing goals. Soil is more forgiving and contains natural nutrients, making it ideal for beginners.

Coco coir, however, offers faster growth and greater control over plant nutrition. Because it behaves more like a hydroponic medium, plants grown in coco can develop quicker and produce higher yields when fed correctly.

For growers looking to maximise performance and precision, coco coir is often the preferred choice.

Coco coir has several key advantages:

• Excellent root aeration for faster growth.
  
• Strong water retention without becoming waterlogged.
  
• Greater control over nutrients and feeding.
  
• Reduced risk of overwatering compared to soil.
  
• Reusable and environmentally friendly.

These benefits make coco coir a popular choice for growers aiming to improve plant health, growth speed and overall yields.

While coco coir is highly effective, it does require a more hands-on approach than soil. Because it contains no nutrients, plants must be fed regularly from early growth through to harvest.

Growers also need to monitor pH and nutrient levels more closely, and coco can require additional calcium and magnesium to avoid deficiencies.

With the right feeding routine and nutrient support, these challenges are easy to manage and are often outweighed by the improved growth results.

Plants grown in coco coir should be fed regularly, often with every watering. In most cases, growers feed once per day, increasing to multiple feeds per day as plants mature and demand more nutrients.

Because coco holds moisture while allowing excellent drainage, frequent feeding helps maintain a consistent nutrient supply without overwatering.

Using a balanced nutrient programme designed for coco ensures plants receive everything they need at each stage of growth.

Yes, coco coir can be reused if it is properly prepared. After a growing cycle, it should be thoroughly washed to remove old salts and roots.

While reused coco can still perform well, many growers choose fresh coco for optimal consistency and performance, especially in high-yield setups.

If you want to recycle then best practice is to use Zenzym throughout the growing cycle as this helps break down old root matter and turn these into beneficial organisms. This is good not just for recycling but overall plant performance and media health.

Yes, coco coir requires a nutrient programme specifically designed for its unique properties. Unlike soil, coco does not provide nutrients and can bind certain elements like calcium and magnesium.

Samurai Coco is formulated to account for this, ensuring plants receive a balanced supply of essential elements throughout their growth cycle.

Hydroponic nutrients should always be mixed into water one part at a time, with thorough mixing between each addition. This prevents nutrients from reacting with each other in concentrated form, which can reduce their availability to plants.

Always start with clean water, add each nutrient in sequence, and only adjust pH once everything is fully mixed.

Using a complete nutrient system, such as the Shogun Fertilisers range, ensures all elements are designed to work together, helping maintain stability in your reservoir and delivering consistent results throughout the grow cycle.

In recirculating hydroponic systems, the nutrient solution should be fully replaced every 7–10 days. Between changes, growers typically top up with fresh water and nutrients to maintain stable levels.

Over time, plants absorb nutrients at different rates, which can lead to imbalances in the solution. Regular reservoir changes help reset this balance and prevent issues such as nutrient lockout or deficiencies.

A good rule of thumb is that you change your tank once you have topped up with water and nutrients by up to 50% - 60% of the original tank volume. For example, if you have a 100 litre tank and you have topped up (refilled) with around 50-60 litres of water and nutrients then it's time for a fresh tank.

In most hydroponic and coco-based systems, nutrients are usually added with each feed rather than occasionally like in soil. Because there is little or no nutrient reserve in the medium, plants depend on the nutrient solution for their ongoing supply.

The exact frequency depends on the system, plant size and growth stage, but regular, measured feeding is usually more effective than inconsistent dosing.

Tap water is suitable for hydroponics, but you will need to adjust your feed schedule depending on whether it is hard water or soft water.

Hard water has a higher mineral content so you will need to reduce your feed strength to prevent over-feeding. Many growers test their source water first, then decide whether to use it as-is, filter it, or start with reverse osmosis water for greater control.

Refer to our feedchart calculator as this will be helpful.

Hydroponic nutrients should be added one at a time to water, with thorough mixing between each part. This helps prevent nutrients from reacting with each other in concentrated form, which can reduce availability to the plant.

Always add nutrients to water, not water to concentrated nutrients. Hydroponic nutrients are always supplied as 2-part nutrients to prevent precipitation in the bottle.

For most hydroponic systems, the ideal pH range is between 5.5 and 6.5. This range allows plants to absorb all essential nutrients efficiently. If you are being really precise then 5.8 - 6.3 is optimal.

If the pH drifts outside this range, certain nutrients can become unavailable, even if they are present in the solution. Regular monitoring and adjustment are key to maintaining healthy plant growth.

The best pH strategy in a recirculating system is to set the pH at 5.5 and let it drift up to 6.5 before reducing back down to 5.5.

The ideal EC (electrical conductivity) depends on the plant type and stage of growth. Young plants require a lower EC, while mature plants in the flowering stage can handle higher nutrient strength.

As a general guide, growers start with a mild nutrient solution and gradually increase EC as plants develop. Monitoring plant response is essential, as overfeeding can cause stress or nutrient burn.

Using a structured feeding programme, such as those designed for hydroponic systems, helps maintain the correct balance throughout the grow cycle.

Yes, hydroponic nutrients are designed to work across a wide range of systems, including Vertical, DWC (deep water culture), NFT, and flood and drain setups.

The key difference is how often plants are fed and how the nutrient solution is delivered, rather than the nutrients themselves.

Samurai Hydro is formulated to perform consistently across all hydroponic systems, giving growers flexibility while maintaining reliable results.

Using too much hydroponic nutrients can lead to nutrient burn, root stress, and reduced plant growth. This is often caused by high EC levels, which make it harder for plants to absorb water properly.

Common signs include leaf tip burn, dark or clawing leaves, and slowed development.

To avoid this, it’s important to follow recommended feeding levels, monitor EC regularly, and increase nutrient strength gradually as plants grow. Our feedchart calculator will help with this.

Plants grown in soil can begin feeding once they have established roots and show signs of active growth. In early stages, soil often contains some nutrients, but these are gradually used up as the plant develops.

Introducing a balanced nutrient feed at the right time helps maintain healthy growth and prevents deficiencies as the plant’s demand increases.

Feeding frequency depends on the soil type and plant size, but most growers follow a regular schedule, feeding every few waterings or as needed.

It’s important to avoid overfeeding and allow the soil to drain properly between feeds. A consistent approach helps maintain nutrient availability while supporting healthy root development.

During the vegetative stage, plants require higher levels of nitrogen to support leaf and stem development, along with balanced amounts of phosphorus and potassium.

Using a nutrient formulated for this stage helps promote strong structure, vigorous growth and a healthy foundation for later development.

During the flowering stage, plants shift their focus from growth to reproduction. This requires increased levels of phosphorus and potassium to support flower development, while nitrogen levels are typically reduced.

A bloom-specific nutrient helps ensure plants receive the right balance to maximise flower formation and overall performance.

The transition from grow to bloom nutrients should happen when plants move from vegetative growth into the flowering phase. This is typically done with a change of light cycle to 12/12 and for autoflowers at week 5.

At this point, adjusting the nutrient profile supports the plant’s changing needs, helping it transition smoothly and maintain healthy development throughout the cycle.

Yes, overfeeding is a common issue in soil-grown plants. Excess nutrients can build up in the growing medium, leading to root stress, nutrient burn, and reduced growth.

Signs of overfeeding include leaf tip burn, dark foliage, and slowed development. Following recommended feeding levels and monitoring plant response helps avoid these problems.

Yes, plants have different nutritional requirements at each stage of growth. Vegetative growth requires higher nitrogen levels, while flowering requires increased phosphorus and potassium.

Using stage-specific nutrients ensures plants receive the correct balance throughout their lifecycle, helping optimise growth, development and final results.

In soil, plants are not always fed with every watering. Unlike hydroponic systems, soil can retain nutrients, so feeding too frequently can lead to a build-up of salts in the growing medium.

Many growers alternate between feeding and plain water, depending on the soil type and plant stage. Monitoring plant health and avoiding overfeeding is key to maintaining a balanced environment.

A structured feeding schedule helps ensure plants receive consistent nutrition without the risk of excess.

In soil, pH is naturally buffered to some extent, which means it is more forgiving than hydroponic systems. However, pH can still affect how well plants absorb nutrients, especially over time.

If the pH of your water or nutrient solution is too high or too low, certain nutrients may become less available, leading to deficiencies even when nutrients are present.

Some growers adjust the pH of their feed to between 5.5 - 6.5, helping ensure consistent nutrient uptake though in most cases this isn't necessary.

Silicon helps strengthen plant cell walls, which can improve overall plant structure and resilience. This often leads to sturdier stems, better support for growth, and increased tolerance to environmental stress.

While not considered an essential nutrient, silicon can play a valuable role in helping plants perform more consistently under a range of conditions.

Plants can grow without silicon, but many growers choose to include it because of the additional support it provides.

By strengthening plant structure and improving resistance to stress, silicon can help plants maintain healthier growth, particularly in more demanding growing environments.

Using silicon can help improve plant strength, making stems more robust and better able to support growth. It can also contribute to improved resistance to environmental stress and help maintain overall plant health.

Products such as Shogun Silicon are designed to deliver these benefits in a form that is easily absorbed and used by the plant.

Silicon is typically introduced early in the growth cycle and can be used throughout both vegetative and flowering stages.

Starting early helps build stronger plant structure from the beginning, supporting better development as the plant matures. Many growers incorporate products like Shogun Silicon as part of their regular feeding routine from the early stages.

Yes, silicon is commonly used alongside a full nutrient programme. It works by supporting plant structure rather than directly feeding the plant, so it complements base nutrients and additives.

It’s usually added separately to water before other nutrients to ensure proper mixing and stability.

Yes, silicon is often used to help plants cope with environmental stresses such as heat, drought, pests or physical strain. By strengthening cell walls, it can improve the plant’s ability to withstand less-than-ideal conditions.

Using a product like Shogun Silicon can help support this resilience, particularly in more demanding growing environments.

Silicon should be added to your tank before your base nutrients. Add Shogun Silicon at the rate of 1ml/L to your tank, thoroughly mix and adjust the pH to around 6.5-7.0. You can then add your base nutrients and the rest of your additives. Make sure you thoroughly mix the silicon in before adding nutrients, a simple method to do this is to pre-mix the required quantity of Shogun Silicon into a 5 litre bottle with water, shake well and then add to your tank. This pre-mixing makes it easier to mix thoroughly in your tank.

Yes, silicon can be used across soil, coco, and hydroponic systems. It is particularly useful in intensive growing setups where plants benefit from additional structural support.

Shogun Silicon is formulated to perform consistently across different growing media, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of feeding programmes.

Seedlings and cuttings require a very gentle, balanced nutrient supply to support early root and shoot development. At this stage, plants are highly sensitive and can be easily damaged by overfeeding.

A dedicated propagation nutrient, such as Shogun Start, is designed to provide the right balance of essential elements in a low-strength solution, helping young plants establish strong roots and healthy early growth.

Seedlings and cuttings can be fed from an early stage, but only with a very mild nutrient solution. Once roots begin to develop and the plant shows signs of active growth, a light feed can help support healthy development.

Using a nutrient specifically formulated for early-stage plants ensures they receive essential support without the risk of overfeeding.

Seedlings and cuttings should be fed lightly and consistently, typically with each watering or at regular intervals depending on the growing medium.

Because young plants have delicate root systems, it’s important to avoid heavy feeding and instead provide a steady, low-level nutrient supply to encourage strong and healthy development.

Yes, overfeeding is one of the most common mistakes when growing seedlings and cuttings. Young plants are highly sensitive to nutrient strength, and excessive feeding can lead to nutrient burn, stunted growth, or root damage.

Starting with a low-strength nutrient solution and increasing gradually as the plant develops helps avoid these issues and promotes healthy early growth.

The best nutrients for cuttings and seedlings are those specifically designed for early-stage growth. These formulations provide a gentle balance of nutrients that support root development without overwhelming the plant.

Products like Shogun Start are developed to give young plants the ideal conditions to establish quickly and transition smoothly into later growth stages.

Yes, seedlings and cuttings have very different nutritional requirements compared to mature plants. Early-stage plants require lower nutrient concentrations and a more balanced profile to support root formation and initial growth.

As plants develop, their nutrient demands increase, and they require more targeted feeding to support vegetative growth and flowering.

A bloom booster is designed to support plants during the flowering stage by enhancing flower development and overall performance.

It typically works by improving nutrient uptake and encouraging the plant to focus energy on producing larger, denser flowers. This can lead to improved yields and better-quality results when used alongside a balanced feeding programme.

Bloom boosters are usually introduced at the beginning of the flowering stage, when plants start shifting their energy away from vegetative growth and towards flower production.

Using Shogun Sumo Active Boost at this point helps support that transition and encourages strong early flower development.

Yes, bloom boosters are designed to complement your base nutrient programme, not replace it. While base nutrients provide the essential elements for growth, a booster supports the plant during the flowering phase.

Using Sumo Active Boost alongside your regular feed can help maximise the effectiveness of your overall nutrient programme.

Bloom boosters can improve yield when used correctly as part of a well-managed feeding programme. By supporting flower development and helping plants use nutrients more efficiently, they can contribute to better overall performance.

However, results depend on the full growing setup — including lighting, environment, and base nutrition — rather than any single product alone.

Yes, using too much of a bloom booster can lead to nutrient imbalances, which may negatively affect plant health and development.

Following recommended application rates and monitoring plant response is important to ensure the best results throughout the flowering stage.

Base nutrients provide the essential elements plants need throughout their lifecycle, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

A bloom booster is used specifically during the flowering stage to support increased demand for certain nutrients and enhance the plant’s ability to produce flowers. Sumo Active Boost is designed to work alongside base nutrients, helping optimise performance during this phase.

Yes, bloom boosters can be used across a wide range of growing systems, including soil, coco, and hydroponics.

Shogun Sumo Active Boost is formulated to perform consistently across different media, making it easy to integrate into most feeding programmes regardless of the setup.

Sumo Active Boost does not contain synthetic plant growth regulators (PGRs). It is made using 100% naturally derived ingredients that are suitable for use on crops intended for human consumption.

We will never make or use synthetic PGRs in any of our products and we suggest that you avoid them too. Many PGRs whilst effective for certain purposes have strict controls on usage and many are not to be used on crops for human consumption. Sumo Active Boost allows growers to support superior flowering performance while maintaining a more natural approach.

This makes it a suitable choice for those looking to optimise results without relying on synthetic growth regulators.

Enzymes help break down dead root material and organic matter in the growing medium into simpler compounds that plants can reuse.

This process keeps the root zone cleaner and more efficient, helping plants maintain healthy growth conditions throughout the cycle.

Enzymes aren’t essential, but they can make a noticeable difference, especially in more intensive growing setups. By helping to keep the root zone clean and free from waste build-up, they support healthier roots and more consistent nutrient uptake.

Many growers include an enzyme product as part of a complete feeding programme to maintain optimal conditions over time.

Using enzymes can help improve root health by breaking down dead organic matter and preventing it from accumulating around the roots.

This can lead to better oxygen availability, improved nutrient uptake, and a more stable growing environment overall. Products such as Shogun Zenzym are designed to support this process and help maintain a cleaner, more efficient root zone.

Enzymes are typically used regularly throughout the growing cycle, often alongside your nutrient solution. Consistent use helps maintain a clean root environment and prevents the build-up of unwanted organic material.

Application frequency may vary depending on the system and growing conditions, but a steady approach tends to give the best results.

Yes, enzymes are designed to be used alongside your regular nutrient programme. While nutrients feed the plant directly, enzymes work in the root zone to improve the environment those nutrients are delivered in.

Using Zenzym alongside your feed can help plants access nutrients more efficiently and maintain healthier roots over time.

Yes, enzymes are commonly used when preparing coco coir for reuse. Over time, dead roots and organic matter build up in the medium, which can affect plant health if not properly removed.

Enzymes help break down this material into simpler compounds, making it easier to flush the coco clean and prepare it for the next growing cycle.

Using Shogun Zenzym during this process can help improve the quality of reused coco, supporting a cleaner root environment and more consistent results in future grows.

Yes, enzymes can be used across a wide range of growing systems, including soil, coco, and hydroponics.

They are particularly useful in systems where nutrients are regularly applied, as they help maintain a clean and efficient root environment. Shogun Zenzym is formulated to work consistently across different growing media, making it easy to integrate into most feeding routines.

Enzymes break down dead root material, not healthy, living roots. This helps recycle organic matter into usable compounds while keeping the root zone clear and functional.

This process supports ongoing root health without damaging the plant.
