The potassium found in the RAW Soluble product line is derived from potassium sulfate. Potassium sulfate is a powerful, water soluble potassium source. Although potassium never becomes a physical part of plant tissue, it activates key enzymes used in plant growth and reproduction. Potassium is needed throughout the life cycle of a plant and is particularly important during the later stages of fruiting and flowering. Generally speaking, a “grow” fertilizer will have one-and-a-half times as much potassium as nitrogen and a “bloom” fertilizer will have at least twice as much potassium as nitrogen. The individually packaged potassium found in the RAW Solubles product line makes it easy for any grower to achieve these ratios and also fine-tune the ratios for optimal results.
