SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost is a heavyweight bio-stimulant designed specifically for use in active hydroponics systems. Standing proud as the champion of all yield boosters it triggers rapid gains in yield and quality by initiating a powerful and targeted flowering response. Plant efficiency is maximised to devastating effect, whilst quality, aroma and taste are improved via enhanced essential oil production. It contains all of the same active ingredients as normal Sumo Boost but has been formulated to stay stable and not ferment in tanks for up to 14 days.
SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost is a liquid emulsion concentrate composed of a natural compound called Triacontanol and a plant extract from the South Atlantic, harvested completely sustainably, as the harvesting is carried out by hand every two years, and new shoots re-grow very rapidly.
Triacontanol is a natural compound found in the waxes of plants and when applied either to the roots or the leaves acts as a growth stimulant that stimulates nutrient uptake and photosynthesis while increasing the content of sugars, proteins and the active constituents of essential oils in various crops.
The plant extract is produced by a physical process, high pressure cell burst, which extracts the delicate hormones and nutrients without the damage that could be caused by extreme temperature or chemical processes. This process ensures maximum retention of the auxins and cytokinins and also contains a wide range of other stimulating hormones such as brassinosteroids along with vitamins and amino acids. Auxins encourage apical growth development, which increases natural cytokinins production which in turn enhance cell division leading to enhanced shoot growth and flower set.
Applied to crops at the early stages of flowering development, Sumo Active Boost boosts shoot growth and flower set and enhances the plants ability to take up nutrients from the growing media, helping it to withstand stress conditions and attack from pests and diseases.
Fantastic value with a 1-2ml per litre dilution rate. Used throughout flowering stage. Also particularly effective via foliar application which has a noticeable enhanced reaction from the plants.
Root Feed – Add at a rate of 1-2ml per litre to your nutrient reservoir or watering can, as soon as the flowering cycle starts and throughout until harvest. Do not use with hydrogen peroxide.
Foliar Application – Add at a rate of 2ml per litre and spray onto the leaves. Apply once when the flowering cycle starts and then again, 28 days later. The recommended pH for foliar application is – 5-7.
