Plant Amp™ supplies calcium in a soluble formula that optimizes passive uptake by the plant. Calcium is essential in metabolic processing of nutrients and functioning of enzymes and hormones. Calcium strengthens cell walls to improve resistance to heat stress and diseases.
Plant Amp™ is formulated for use in hydroponics, soilless, continuous feed, drain to waste, and for use in soil. Plant Amp™ can be applied at every watering in conjunction with any of Cutting Edge Solutions® products, or other commercially available hydroponic nutrients.
NOTE: There is a nuance of Plant Amp™ that is sure to cause some questions from first time users regarding pH drops after adding it to a reservoir. Plant Amp™ is derived from organic acids, which will cause a pH drop to around 4 right after mixing, this is essentially a “false” reading. This drop is not caused by a corrosive, strong-bonded acid such as phosphoric acid, and will rise on it’s own after 24 hours as it breaks down. It is perfectly okay to water with the fertilizer solution immediately after mixing, it will not harm the plant material or negatively interact with the availability of the other fertilizer elements. If a gardener is starting with a low pH source water (typical of R/O water), we recommend adjusting to 7 before adding any fertilizers to the reservoir.
Sizes Available: 1 quart, 1 gallon, 2.5 gallon, 6 gallon, 15 gallon, 55 gallon barrel, and 270 gallon tote.
Calcium (Ca) 1.0%
Derived from Calcium Chloride

For hydroponics, foliar feeding, and soil applications: 10 ml Plant Amp™ per gallon of water
For drain-to-waste systems, adjust pH of solution before the addtion of Plant Amp. Do not adjust pH after addition of Plant Amp.

This is a highly concentrated solution. Never mix undiluted concentrates, as this may result in nutrient lock-up. Add each nutrient consecutively, allowing ample time for each concentrate used to thoroughly dilute and mix into the water. If preparing a nutrient stock tank, to be used over a period of time exceeding 24 hours, you must aerate nutrient reservoir regularly.
Shake well and measure carefully using a milliliter measuring cup. If using Micro 6-0-0™, add Micro 6-0-0™ first to water, then other nutrients. After nutrients are mixed in water, adjust pH to 4.5-6.5. If your pH naturally falls within these parameters, pH adjustment is not necessary.
Monitor ppm and EC in reservoir and top off with fresh water as needed. Reservoir temperature should be 60-68 degrees F.
Do not store product in direct sunlight. Do not freeze.
