Athena’s Aminas: 0.5-0-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Natural water soluble amino acids. Derived from Protein
Hydrolysate
Product Details:
Every plant needs certain compounds for growth beyond soil, light, water,
and CO2. Plants can use more amino acids than they can find or synthesize
in their natural environment. If amino acids are not available, plant growth will slow based on
lack of the essential tools for continued cell production. Athena’s Aminas provides a readily
available amino acid source of nitrogen to optimize protein production and allow for maximum
growth rates. By adding an amino acid source of nitrogen, you enable your plants to build
proteins as quickly as they are able. When using Athena’s Aminas, you can expect to see faster,
healthier growth, resulting in bigger, more vigorous plants. Aminas are key to starting protein
synthesis in cells.
Features:
• Grows more vigorous plants with greater ability to resist pests and diseases.
• Overcomes one of the most common limiting factors to plant growth.
• Allows for faster and healthier growth.
• Achieves maximum plant cell production.
Athena’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Pure L-Amino acid liquid, 22 L-Aminos
designed for cell building and nutrient uptake. Act like a Nitrogen but does not stretch, elongate
or stress out the plant.
Athena’s Tip:
Some growers say that they reduce Athena’s along with some of the other ‘N’ nutrients late in
flower when they are trying to lower the nitrogen load, however, amino acids are important in
late flower. Amino acids are the building blocks to proteins and proteins are what develop the
flower. The N in Athena’s is so low (0.5%) most flowers and genetics have no negative effect.
The flowers need a little nitrogen to develop all those sugar leaves. Cutting out N and amino
acids completely is essentially robbing the plant of an element and compound it does need. Just
more or less at different stages of growth. It may be recommended to cut it out with some
growers because we have found that a specific genetic/strain, Cookies especially, really like to
find nitrogen and stay green. If you are wanting to pull back on your nitrogen in flower, you
should look more at Medusa’s Magic. One other thing some growers do to limit Nitrogen for
Nitrogen sensitive varieties is to utilize Triton's for aminos more than Athena's. Instead of upping
Athena's from 1 to 2 TBL/gal in mid-flower as it shows on the schedule, up Triton's Trawl
instead.

Demeter’s Destiny: 0-0.5-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Product Details:
Demeter’s Destiny is more useful than any synthetically derived cal/mag.
Synthetic calcium and/or magnesium products are not desirable because
they are also applying nitrogen to your crop in the form of calcium nitrate
and magnesium nitrate.
Magnesium deficiencies in soil and coco mediums are completely solved by applying Demeter’s
Destiny. The calcium phosphate and chelating acids naturally chelate the magnesium already
present but locked in your soil medium and then deliver them to the plant in a non-metal form.
Features:
• Helps to carry all nutrients into the plant.
• Improves nutrient availability and cell wall integrity.
• Encourages solid stem growth to prevent stem breakage.
• Promotes the cleanest, sweetest, most aromatic produce.
• Offers microbes and root systems balanced forms of calcium.
Demeter’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ The answer to Cal/mg deficiency, along with
Herculean Harvest, that isn’t a nitrogen form. This is a calcium phosphate, that isn’t derived
from bone meal. Demeter’s Destiny is a liquid calcium, digested from milk products and we use
an organic acid to digest the calcium molecules and the residual chelation materials in the
Demeter’s are designed to digest magnesium naturally from coir fiber and peat moss. It is very
effective as long as there is minimal salt present in the root zone. If the salt level builds up
around the roots stomata, then the plants ability to naturally extract calcium and magnesium from
the coir fiber is hindered. Great Calcium supplement to go with other nutrition regimens.
Salt buildup can be remedied by initiating a Herculean Harvest flush pH’d in the mid 6’s. This
calcium flush will tie up excess salts and turn them into organic compounds that need to be
broken down by a microbial field before the plant can access it again.

Bloom Khaos: Calcium Facilitator
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Kelp extract (Ascophyllum nodosum), gamma (proprietary
ingredient)
Product Details:
Bloom Khaos is Nectar for the Gods’ patent pending secret weapon for
flower production and alleviating hidden hunger. When using Bloom
Khaos as a foliar feed in Veg, one should notice more flower sites, larger, denser flowers, and
superior color, flavor, and aroma. Bloom Khaos improves plant health and vigor while reducing
stress at crucial times of the plants’ life cycle, such as: transplanting, flower transition, and prior
to taking cuttings. Bloom Khaos works best if used daily as a foliar spray in the early stages of
growth and up to a few weeks into flowering. After that, it works well as a water-in additive.
Foliar spray up to twice a day in vegetative cycle and as little as once a week to see the benefits
of stronger stems, shorter internodal length, and ultimately more vigorous flower sets.
Achieving maximum weight yields when using Nectar for the Gods nutrients will require feeding
the maximum dosage rates of Bloom Khaos and Herculean Harvest. Use Bloom Khaos as a foliar
feed during vegetation and early flowering and as a watered-in nutrient additive during late
flowering.
Bloom Khaos Tip:
When using Bloom Khaos, watch for calcium deficiencies: curling leaf tips, “taco-ing” leaf
edges, or curly-q leaves. To remedy or prevent calcium deficiencies and to fully unlock the
potential of Bloom Khaos, we recommend using the following Nectar for the Gods products with
Bloom Khaos: Herculean Harvest, Demeter’s Destiny, Aphrodite’s Extraction, and Olympus Up.
Please refer to the Nectar for the Gods feeding schedule for guidelines on application rates.
Bloom Khaos Tip2:
Mixing nutrients with Bloom Khaos will work, but the longer the Bloom Khaos sits with other
things, the less reactive it becomes in the plant. It wants to react. And it wants calcium. I
personally do Khaos all on its own. Even if I want to foliar feed other components, I just foliar
feed them twice in a day, once with the bottle of Khaos, and once with my other secret
concoction. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Note: Do not use this product without organic calcium as it can quickly cause deficiencies in
your plants.
Features:
• Calcium-Facilitator.
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 15
• Reduces plants stress.
• Encourages more flower sites.
• Yields larger and denser flowers.
• Grows stronger and thicker stems.
Bloom Khaos Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Where do I start with this product? You can
see it on You Tube, and all I can say is that when foliar feeding with this be sure to always have
adequate levels of liquid bone meal going into the root zone at the same time. When using the
Khaos, having calcium phosphate and calcium bicarbonate available to plants is extremely
important. Mixing the Khaos with any salts will tie up the calcium and make it less available.
The best balance to driving the Khaos is increasing the Herculean Harvest at the same time as
increasing the Khaos. Those two go hand in hand for flower development and overall weight.
Bloom Khaos acts as a calcium facilitator, a calcium magnet if you will. When Khaos is sprayed
under the foliage, it triggers the plants want for calcium for cell development and cell division.
As a foliar in Veg, the Khaos Foliar and Herculean Harvest watered in, work together creating
tighter flowering sites, more branching and aggressive fruit stacking. When these two products
are in balance, it enhances the stage which the plant is currently in. Use at a minimum of every
other day. Once the plants are in the bloom stage, and you begin to apply it to the root zone, this
combination will promote harder flowers, heavier weight and richer oils. One trick the gardeners
have figured out is the driving force to gain weight in the fruit is to slowly increase the doses of
Khaos along with the application rate of the Herculean. The more Herculean we can get to
relocate in the fruit, the heavier the fruit will be. In Denver we see the test results come back
from our commercial growers and what they have found is that the plants sprayed with Khaos
and fed lots of Herculean Harvest had higher levels of active ingredients in the fruiting bodies
than the control plants that were left to the regular recipe without Khaos.
Use Bloom Khaos as a soil drench the week prior to final flush. Do NOT use a calcium nitrate
with Bloom Khaos because the nitrate will create a thinner cell wall and you don’t want to be in
the 4th week of flower and pumping your plant full of nitrogen (any nitrate is a nitrogen base)
Also, the active ingredient to Khaos is undiscovered by science. It is a patent pending compound
that our scientist has developed after thirty years of plant science and research. The active
ingredient is a calcium facilitator that promotes cell development and cell division.
Feed chart shows foliar feed Bloom Khaos from Veg to week 3 or 4 of flower. You can go later,
just spray lower side of the plant. When you go past that, then you can use 1 tsp up to 1 TBL per
gallon. Plant will not get too much of Bloom Khaos as long as you supplement properly with
Herculean Harvest. Find that special number that works for you. As a guideline, if you add
Bloom Khaos at 1tsp per gallon to every feed, you need to up HH 20-30% from what the feed
chart says. If you are going to go to 1 TBL of BK, add 1-3 TBL more of Herculean Harvest.
If you run out of Herculean Harvest, do NOT use Bloom Khaos again until you get Herculean
Harvest back into the root zone. If you’re using a TBL of Bloom Khaos and you’re not feeding
enough HH, you may see calcium deficiency.
There is enough calcium in the Herculean Harvest, Demeter's Destiny and Olympus Up to meet
the Bloom Khaos needs. If you are not using Demeter’s Destiny in your feedings or Olympus Up
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 16
to pH, then you may need to be supplementing even a greater amount of Herculean. However, a
low pH will still prevent all that calcium from being available.
Q. Can you elaborate on the amounts of Herculean Harvest and other items that help to facilitate
the calcium needed to help Bloom Khaos reach its highest potential for the plant during its late
flowering cycle? You had mentioned 6-8 TBL per gallon in the last few weeks. Please be as
specific as you can to help me get a better idea.
A. This is a loaded question for sure. Every environment, gardener, garden, plant strain etc. etc.
are different. What we recommend as a guideline is for every 1 tsp per quart of Khaos you
should be watering in at least 2 tablespoons of Herculean to offer the adequate amounts of
calcium. As you slowly increase the Bloom Khaos dilution rate, you will want to balance the
calcium needs with the Herculean. When I am playing with a new genetic, I see how far I can
push each one. I slowly increase both of these products until I see signs that they are starting to
not accept it all and at that time I do a plain watering once, then back the dilution to the last
documented happy feed, and maintain that until the flush cycle. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Q. Can you please give me another quick crash course on the use of Bloom Chaos in Veg as
opposed to Bloom? Should I start with as little as a 1/4 dose in veg?
A. Bloom Khaos is a calcium facilitator that, when applied to the foliage, promotes the uptake of
calcium to promote cell building and cell division. When Khaos is used during the veg stage, it
promotes more branching, less elongation and thicker stem walls. This is beneficial in veg
because it promotes tight inter-nodal flower spacing so when you transition into flowering the
flower sites start closer together and as the plants stretch towards the HPS color spectrum in
bloom, the flowers have a better chance of stacking and growing into one another forming large
top flowers. – Scott D Ostrander
Q. Is there anything else I should know before spraying?
A. There have been reports from some growers that certain strains of cannabis don’t take well to
Bloom Khaos in a foliar spray. There have been a few reports of ‘anything Kush’ is touchy with
Khaos. Also, one grower noticed that Magnesium hogs (which also tend to be Calcium hogs)
along with nitrogen sensitive plants don't seem to fare as well with the Khaos foliar feedings as
others. There are likely some exceptions, but just something that seems to show some
correlation. However, we all should know correlation is not causation.

Olympus Up: Liquid Limestone
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Ground limestone (natural calcite) in liquid form
Product Information:
Olympus Up is the Nectar for the Gods pH up product unique to the
industry created from nanosized limestone suspended in water. Limestone
is a rock made of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different
crystal forms of calcium carbonate. Most calcium carbonate is composed
of skeletal fragments of marine organisms falling to the bottom of an ocean and becoming a
fossilized layer of rock. Calcium carbonate has been a staple for organic gardening for a long
time but the ability to get instant availability for pH balancing and microbiology is new. Using a
new process to get an extremely small particle size this calcium source is more available to
microbiology while still being in a pure rock form.
By using liquid calcium as a pH adjusting component, you will add more calcium to your plants’
cell structure, promoting cell wall integrity. Residual Olympus Up in the soil will increase
aeration, promote microbial activity by offering a food source for the soil biota, and contribute to
nutrient delivery. Olympus Up is essential when using Herculean Harvest. We recommend using
Olympus Up with Herculean Harvest to form an amazing calcium food source for soil microbes.
They may also be used together for a more efficient flush, either at the end of your growing
cycle, or in new potting medium to stabilize pH and prepare for planting.
Olympus Up Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ This is our answer to pH up. It’s a nanolimestone
that is solubilized. It is pure rock in liquid form. We do not like the cheap versions
because they are simply a potassium hydroxide that have a tendency to kill microbial life in the
soil. We make a liquid calcite limestone pH adjuster. This serves two major purposes. First, the
calcium bicarbonate adjusts the pH of the solution and adds a desirable form of calcium for
nutrient uptake. 2nd, the portion of Olympus that isn’t fully digested is designed to enter the root
zone and attach itself to the medium so that when it is being broken down by the microbial field,
their waste product, which is often an organic acid, will be buffered by the undigested limestone
preventing acid drift in the soil. This was made for koi ponds to remove algae, clarify water and
buffer the pH of a koi pond. Frank, who designed Olympus up, had a koi pond in his backyard,
made a pH up out of limestone, puts in 4 capfuls per 100 gallons. It’s clear as a whistle and no
more algae or seaweed.
****NOTE: *****Below are the remaining, non-essential additive
enhancers and what they are designed to do.
As far as the other products below, not essential, but important for many growers. – Scott D.

Aphrodite’s Extraction: 0-1-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Dextrose, Sucrose and Glucose. Derived from Monopotassium
phosphate
Product Details:
You have a short time at the end of your plants life cycle to sweeten your
fruits and make them the most desirable. Aphrodite’s Extraction provides a
rich blend of a proprietary blend of sucrose, fructose, chelated nutrients, vitamins, and organic
acids to promote a thriving microbial population and strong, healthy plant growth. In addition to
calcium, microbes need carbon in order to manufacture complex proteins for normal growth and
reproduction: low carbon equals low microbial activity. Sucrose is one of the most available
forms of carbon for a plant. When sucrose and fructose are blended with proteins, they become a
microbial feast essential to plants’ microbiological processes. The organic nutrients in
Aphrodite’s Extraction are naturally chelated for increased availability to the plant which
strengthens your plants resistance to disease by helping to promote photosynthesis.
Aphrodite’s Extraction Tip:
Customers who use Aphrodite’s Extraction have experienced dramatic flavor improvements
when applying it in the last weeks of the plant’s life cycle. The addition of sugar, and calcium
from complimentary Nectar products, allows the plant to process more sugars to improve its
ability to procreate.
Features:
• Experience dramatic flavor improvements when applying it in the last weeks of the plants
life cycle.
• Use as a microbial food source instead of molasses to protect your microbiology when
you aren’t brewing. (when brewing, always use molasses)
• Allows the plant to process more sugars to improve its ability to procreate.
• Provides organic acids necessary for enzymatic activity.
• Complete balance of vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6 and B12.
• Increases in disease resistance and yields.
Aphrodite’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Naturally, in fall, as the crop translocate all
the sugar that the chlorophyll has created during it’s season, and translocate them into the fruit to
sweeten them up and make them more desirable. Indoor, you rarely get to the fall cycle in the
plants life. We run them through and they are done, they are often predominantly still green, and
they haven’t started to turn yellow and they haven’t moved any of that sugar that you spent all
that time and energy creating. If you are that guy, we’ve made you photosynthetic sugar in a
bottle. It’s 100% translocation. It will go through the roots to the tip of the plant. Your plant will
direct Aphrodite’s Extraction wherever it needs to go. It helps secrete out the resins and the oils
and the intensity of the flavor. This one is cool but doesn’t need to be used all the way through. It
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 19
won’t hurt to use it all the way but if you’re simply trying to enhance the final product, then
applying this in the last weeks of feed and then the last week of flushing, you will promote richer
stronger flavors and enhanced aromas. This product is derived from calcium’s simplest sugar,
Dextrose and sucrose. It is in such an available form, the plant can absorb it and relocate it
directly to the site it as needed. This carbon compound is the same as the sugars produced from
the breakdown of the photosynthetic retain. We like to call it liquid Fall. It sweetens up the fruit.
I use it as a microbial tea compost starter. Use it as a food source instead of molasses. NFTG
started doing biological tests, studying the differences between the digested carbons of
Aphrodite’s Extraction and the carbon in Molasses using a microscope. They found that the
carbon from molasses is huge. Molasses is a super complex long chain of sugars into a
microscopic organism. In other words, it’s a lead blanket. So while you’re feeding molasses to
the top of your plants, and you’re wondering why you have to keep inoculating your mycorrhizae
that you spent $300 a pound on, it’s because you’re choking them with a carbon chain that they
can’t possibly break down. Aphrodite’s Extraction is a predigested form of the same sugar, it’s
just predigested into smaller bites. It speeds up compost.
What do carbs/sugars do for plants? We know that the microbial life feed off the carbohydrates,
but what does it do for the plant?
For the cellular level, It’s the energy, it’s the life force, it’s what the plant has to create through
chlorophyll to create the energy to grow and become healthy and strong so if you’re not
producing the right type of sugar through the vegetation and through the foliage, you have to
have some form of sugar, it has to be the right type of sugar and have the sugar in the correct
form, whether it is dextrose or sucrose. That helps the translocation of nutrients and the
availability of nutrients through energy inside the plant. You’re basically feeding the biological
activity but you’re not feeding the plant when you use molasses. You’re not feeding the plant at
all, it can’t feed because it’s too big. You are literally waiting for the microbes to break that
down, so if you do multiple dilutions of that, you’re just choking out your microbial field. You
can foliar feed AE, and the microbes will feed off of the sucrose and dextrose like it’s crack.
Using molasses will kill the mycorrhizae that I had colonized the whole time. ~ Scott D.
Ostrander
Are you saying I shouldn’t ever use molasses, even in my Teas?
Scott D. Ostrander ~ So I just want to be clear on my Monster Garden video about molasses. I
still use and recommend molasses in my teas for feeding the microbes in the water and in the tea
solution. The reason for this is because molasses is FAR cheaper then Aphrodite's, FAR FAR
FAR cheaper, and the long chain carbon that molasses has is beneficial in teas because it offers a
bigger meal for the microbes that lasts much longer in the solution. Using molasses in the teas to
feed the microbes can and will buy you 24-48 hours of microbial feeding. We do not promote the
use of molasses as a soil drench because of the size of the carbon chain. We have seen it
suffocate the mycorrhizal field rendering them useless or hindered in nutrient absorption.
Aphrodite's Carbon is a digested oligosaccharide that is made up of many mono and
polysaccharides that are derived from milk fats. These saccharides have the same properties as
the saccharides in the plant produced from chlorophyll to sweeten up fruit, giving it a higher brix
content. Now the downfall of using it in a tea is that because it is so extremely digested already,
it makes for one fast meal for the microbes in the tea machine which in turn can run out,
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 20
rendering the microbes hungry and food-less. Once the microbes run out of food to consume,
they turn on each other and eat the population down. So you can still use the Aphrodite’s in the
teas, you just have to feed them considerably more often which means you are buying more,
which really only benefits us. So please feel free to save your money and use molasses in the teas
and Aphrodite’s to feed the soil.
Calcium Syrup – Harvest Moon Organics Brand
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: (coming soon)
Product Details:
Rumor has it that this product will be called Persephone when it is
bottled under the Nectar for the Gods Brand. It can't be sold in stores
outside the state of Oregon, until NFTG gets the labels registered in
each state.
Calcium Syrup is our answer to not using Cane Sugar molasses and replacing it with a smaller
carbon chain from tree sap. It's just calcium sulfonate from tree sap. The Calcium Syrup is easier
to digest by your microbes than molasses. Calcium syrup has trace levels of sulfur that promote
terpene profiles and the calcium lignin which it’s made from will feed the microbes in the soil.
Similar to Aphrodite’s Extraction, except the Calcium Syrup is molasses based instead of simple
sugar based. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Calcium Syrup Tip: I feel molasses is better for feeding microbes in the tea and the calcium
syrup feeds the microbes in the soil. Smaller carbon chains are easier on the soil tilth. Molasses
makes a good tea food as it is free roaming in water, has a longer feed life span than the calcium
syrup and by the time most people use their teas, the carbon chains on the molasses have been
digested and broken down. I personally still use molasses in my teas only. In addition, Molasses
contains magnesium. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Mega Morpheus: 0-2-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Worm Castings, seabird guano, humic acid (leonardite) and
Kelp Extract (derived from Ascophyllum nodosum (Microbial Food))
Product Details:
Mega Morpheus is a fully digested source of readily available natural
phosphate, and the only guano tea on the market today that is free of grit
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 21
and sand. Our unique process completely filters out grit and sand, offering a consistency suitable
for soil, soilless, and hydroponic growing mediums. Nutrients in Mega Morpheus are made
totally available through digestion and chelation, increasing nutrient delivery and uptake. When
using Mega Morpheus, you can expect an increase in photosynthesis, vigor and health, as well as
flower size and flavor.
Mega Morpheus is the best available guano product on the market from an ecological perspective
and plant usability standpoint. Seabird guano is much more preferable to bat guano both from the
horticultural and ecological perspective. The bat guano has much larger salt content and less of
an inherent ability to release those bonds where seabird guano has much less salt with better
biodegradability than bat guano has. Bat Guanos are typically harvested using destructive
techniques that cause permanent damage to the bats and thus permanent damage to a vital part of
the ecosystem. Very few guanos are harvested humanely and NFTG recommends when you
purchase guano tea, use the seabird guano for the above reasons.
Features:
• Finely filtered.
• Ultra-digested.
• Unique in the industry.
• Made with certified organic worm castings.
• Humanely harvested ingredients.
NFTG Mega Morpheus Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Guano tea. It is a digested Seabird
guano with amino acids and Organic certified worm castings that we chelate off the humic acid
on castings from veggie fed worms. Highly filtered, highly digested seabird guano and worm
casting tea. High load of phosphate. Super clean and filtered and totally available, but not
necessary to grow beautiful plants.
Why doesn’t NFTG use Bat Guano?
The beauty of bat caves is; you got your bats and then you’ve got this layer of shit, but right
between the bats and this layer of shit are a whole field of three high wall to wall cockroaches.
So every bat that shits on a cockroach, the cockroach eats that shit and then shits out cockroach
shit, which you make bat guano tea out of. So essentially it’s cockroach tea. Every time they
extract an entire cave of guano, 9 out of 10 of these manufacturers don’t care how they get it,
how it’s done, or how it’s manufactured or processed, “give me the damn bat guano”. So they
bash out the side of a cave walls, extracting all of the guano out using front loaders, leaving all of
those bats to never come home again and then they die because they don’t have homes. They
don’t re-colonize with other bats. If they don’t say bat conservancy on there, if they aren’t paying
a huge amount of money to protect the bat conservancy in this world, they are part of the
problem in this world. So Mexico right now is just a big hillside with smashed in side walls
where they extract as much of the guano as they can and then they go on to the next hillside.
Essentially, Seabird guano is sustainable and bat guano contains too much salt. ~ Scott D.

Triton’s Trawl: 0.5-4-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Fish bone meal, BioAg Fulvic Acid
Product Details:
Originally formulated as an alternative for Herculean Harvest, Triton’s
Trawl is for those gardeners who want the benefit of a liquid bonemeal
but do not wish to utilize a product derived from farmed livestock.
Ultimately this product has become one the most unique and potent products in the Nectar line.
Rich in calcium, Triton’s Trawl delivers flavor, aroma and color to the finished product. It can be
used alone or to enhance the effects of Herculean Harvest.
The cartilage that makes up fishbone has more of an amino acid base that triggers the plants
response to generate color and aromas in a different way than other animal proteins. Oregon’s
Only Organics found that this difference is due to the fact that there exists an entirely different
chain of amino acids in fish protein.
When in the test trials of this product their employees saw amazing enhanced colors and aromas.
After they noticed these favorable results from the fish protein they began to incorporate the
Triton’s Trawl with the Herculean Harvest during feedings and saw even bigger fruit size along
with new aesthetics that put the fruit on another level.
The residual fishbone in the soil becomes a great food source for the microbial field for an
extended period of time making the microbes rich in nutrient consumption as well as delivery to
the plants.
Features:
• Made from only fish proteins.
• Digested and hydrolyzed whole fish.
• Brings out the aromas and flavors of fruits.
• Works with Herculean Harvest to get better yield.
Triton’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Liquid Fishbone Meal. Unique product in the
industry. A digested cartilage form of calcium phosphate. It doesn’t have the same bone structure
or rock structure as Herculean Harvest has. Herculean Harvest will build your fruit with an actual
rock substance. This one, being a cartilage is going to have more of an amino acid base. By
itself, it has a small flower that has a ton of everything else. But using Herculean Harvest at a 2:1
ratio to Triton’s Trawl gives you the best of both worlds. Again, not necessary, but what you will
find from this product is that the unique, seagoing amino acid chain that fish cartilage has,
creates and enhances the plants appearance and aromas. I would recommend not using it for the
first couple of rounds and then trying it for the last couple of weeks on the third round so you can
see the difference.

Poseidonzime: 0-0-0.5
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Kelp extract (Ascophyllum nodosum)
Product Details:
Poseidonzime is a liquefied seaweed product digested through an
enzymatic process that allows for maximum availability to plant tissues
and microbiology. Rich in organic acids and over 60 naturally occurring
major and minor nutrients and amino acids. Kelp is a good natural source of potassium and
cytokinins, which promote cell division in root and plant growth, and affect apical dominance,
axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence (biological aging). Designed to be a natural chelator,
Poseidonzime helps release previously unavailable nutrients and other substances in the soil for
plants to use. Known as one of the best natural plant growth promoters, Poseidonzime reduces
plant stress while increasing flower clusters and overall vigor in the plants’ reproduction.
Poseidonzime inhibits growth in populations of mites, aphids, white flies and root-knot
nematodes by increasing your plants natural ability to fight pests and disease.
Tip: Foliar spray as much as 3 times a week during the vegetative phase to give your plants the
nutrients they desire through the leaves and stems as well as through the medium. Use as little as
once every 2 weeks during the vegetative phase to notice increased health of your organic plants.
Features:
• Contains organic amino acids.
• North Atlantic seaweed based nutrient.
• Organically feeds leaves and stems from the outside.
Poseidonzime Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Now spelled with an I (zime), it used to be
spelled with a y (zyme), but that’s a no-no in California and Oregon. Liquid Sea kelp. It’s a cold
water North Atlantic kelp, it’s a digest, very similar to any other liquid seaweed in the industry.
Simply a potassium rich liquid seaweed. Some soils strip potassium or tie it up and this would
help correct that issue. There’s nothing else really special about it other than the amino acids
that are added to it.

Pegasus Potion: 1-2-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: gamma (proprietary ingredient used in Bloom Khaos),
Feather Meal and phosphoric acid
Product Details:
WOW! This stinks, but for good reason. Pegasus Potion is a new concept
of nitrogen delivery. It is a nitrate free, totally available protein source of
nitrogen. Extraction through enzyme hydrolysis makes Pegasus Potion more biochemically
viable, preserving amino acid integrity by breaking proteins at specific sites Nitrogen proteins
are extracted from feathers and digest into their simplest, most available forms. Pegasus Potion
can be used as an extremely effective foliar spray as well as a root drench to promote greening
and vegetative growth. If you feel you need more nitrogen and don’t want the burn or the stretch
then Pegasus will show you how it’s done.
A little warning to all who are thinking about using Pegasus Potion: IT SMELLS REALLY
BAD. We have done everything in our power to quell the stench, and nothing we have tried will
mask the smell. Sorry.
Pegasus Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ This is a pure nitrogen derived from digested
feather meal. It has 2% protein based nitrogen so it is impossible to burn with it and the plants
won’t elongate like a nitrate will do. Be fair warned however, that this product is digested down
to its simplest protein, and nothing wants to bond with it. Even our mint oil will not touch the
smell of liquid feathers. Smells awful, but highly effective.
Pegasus Potion on the feed chart is ‘as needed’ means that we, as a company, put all of our focus
on the availability of all the plant nutrition in the form of calcium and calcium bonds. We are
confident that most plants, with the exception of corn and maybe tomatoes, can access all the
nitrogen they need from the soil, from Medusa’s Magic and from the atmosphere. But for some
farmers that doesn't seem or feel like it is enough and they wanted more. So we produced a
digested protein Nitrogen source from feathers so that the growers had a tool to get their plants
greened up without pumping them full of nitrates. So the ‘as needed’ is, if you feel like you need
more nitrogen, then here is our nitrogen only product to enhance that. Many, many, many
gardeners use it as part of their arsenal. I absolutely love it (minus the smell) and I always have a
small rancid bottle of it in my truck so if I ever get into a road rage incident, I use it as method of
retaliation. Simply follow the person home or work to see where they park their car. Then come
back later and pour a capful down into their air intake near the windshield so that they can enjoy
the smell of how they drive. LOL. Sometimes I am not that nice. Usually I am.
I can say that mixing the Pegasus and the kraken together not only makes an eight legged flying
hours that smells like dead fish that just shit itself before death, but one hell of an amazing foliar
feed in the veg cycle. Hell of one for sure.

Pegasus Foliar Feeding Tip: In Veg, you can mix Pegasus and Kraken together (Scott says it's
amazing). 1 tsp of Pegasus per quart and 1 tsp of kraken per quart in Veg he says makes a hell of
a foliar spray. Alternate (in a separate foliar later in the day or another day) that mix with a foliar
of Bloom Khaos, which is a calcium facilitator (which means you should be ensuring you have
enough calcium in your soil drench so that the plant can take up the calcium) and you'll be
growing like a champ!
The Kraken: 0-4-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Crab Shell meal, Shrimp Shell Meal, Phosphoric Acid
Kraken Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Kraken will end up being
higher up on the list. I would dare to say before Aphrodite’s Extraction,
and after Olympus up. It is actually crab and shrimp shell. No meal, no
meat no nitrogen. Through the digestion process we are breaking down
the shell into available forms of Chitin and phosphorous.
Using the Kraken and Bloom Khaos together (alternating times) as a foliar will promote a
synthesis in the plant that will help promote more natural oils and resin. Because we are using
just the shells, we have found that the Chitin in the shells when reacted with the Active
ingredient in Khaos, it is synthesizing plant oils. Pretty damn cool what this stuff is capable of.
For the Kraken 1-2 tsp in Veg, and up to 1 TBL in Bloom.
Kraken Tip:
I just wanted to share this feedback from a grower that gives us very helpful notes on what he
says they see when applying the Kraken.
"Hey Scott I wanted to follow up with you on our progress thus far with the crab/shrimp meal so
far we have noticed the following benefits. Increased resistance to environmental stress but more
importantly a dramatic increase in pest resistance this accompanied by a solid organic
preventative will give any bug a run for it's money. We had a garden with pretty bad mites we
saw tremendous headway against them while doing consistent sprays in combination with 10ml
per gal crab/shrimp added to the root feed we have almost completely rid the garden of bugs
after 7 days of treatment. We have also seen it valuable to plants in stressful situations such as
transplant adding this to our Transplant feed or young plant feed at 2.5 - 5ml per gal depending
on size and level of stress we have seen expedited bounce back, increased health, and vigor. In
addition to those we have seen the benefit of additional calcium throughout veg even in our very
large veg plants we have not needed to exceed 15ml of Herculean (so we can save for flower)
when properly supplemented. We have also seen an increase in bud sites, stronger growth, as
well as darker green foliage throughout. We have even seen some damaged leaf tissue begin to
regenerate. We will be in flower shortly so I will be able to give you our observations on the
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 26
stage soon I'm interested to see the benefits from transition all the way to ripening and will keep
you updated throughout I can say we love this product and will definitely be keeping this in our
regimen the variety of benefits seems to increase every time we use it we appreciate the
opportunity to test these products it's a blast to play with some new toys."
This type of feedback is extremely helpful in developing our products. Without it, we don’t
really know what it's doing in your garden. SO if you have feedback always feel free to share. It
only helps us get better at what we do. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Hygeia Hydration: Yucca Extract
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Yucca extract (saponin extracted from Yucca schidigera)
Hygeia’s Hydration is our blending tool for the Nectar for the Gods line
of nutrients. Rich in saponin, Yucca acts as a wetting agent to aid in root
penetration for maximum nutrient uptake. The organic acids in Yucca
contribute to chelation of other nutrients, making them more available to
microbes and to your plants. Hygeia’s Hydration can be used for those pesky soils that dry out
and will not rehydrate with regular watering. You can also use Hygeia’s Hydration as a wetting
agent for foliar feeding nutrients, pest control, and fungal sprays. Yucca extract has inherent
insecticidal properties in addition to being a great surfactant spreader you get the anti-mold and
anti-fungal benefits from the saponin.
Note: Because of the high saponin levels, this product behaves like a soap when agitated and
should not be used for heavily aerated reservoirs. (brewing teas)
Features:
• Encourages microbiology by creating a saponin coating over organic nutrients.
• Makes organic soil elements more available to microbes.
• Assists in root penetration & nutrient absorption.
• Contributes to chelation of nutrients.
• Saponin extracted from Yucca schidigera.
Hygeia Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Foliar wetting agent for bug sprays and nutrients.
It helps rehydrate your mediums. If you use a lot of coco, it’s a good idea to use this in soil
drench. Peat moss, you can get by with less. I know with coco fiber when moist, doesn’t want
to let go of water, but when dry, it will not absorb water, it’s hydrophobic, peat moss is the same
way. If you ever let your medium go beyond moist, to a dry state, it’s really hard to get it to take
that water back in to the medium. Hygeia Hydration will help speed up that process so that
you’re not pouring valuable nutrients down the side walls of your container and out of your
garden. I never, ever, ever recommend watering in the tray to rehydrate up. You’re just pushing
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 27
salts up further and deeper into the medium. Which will, a couple of weeks from now, harder to
get back out. Always rehydrate from the top. It has been brought to our attention in drier
climates, drier/hotter rooms, places where the environment has a tendency to dry up the medium
quicker than normal, we’ve had a lot of requests for a wetting agent that is natural that can be
placed into the medium so that the nutrients won’t just rush right through the medium and into
the saucer. We came up with a liquid Yucca. It’s a wetting agent, the nice thing about Yucca is
it’s a saponin, very similar to like a soap. It creates bubbles when agitated, you don’t want to put
that in your compost teas with an air stone because you will have a giant frothy head. What we
found is that the mycorrhizae fungi really, really like the saponin because they have a tendency
to create an ‘m&m type coating’ around each one of the elements in the other bottles of NFTG. It
sticks to the nutrients so that your mycorrhizae field can tap into these little held food nutrient
bubbles, absorb those in, and wait for the signals from your plants to translocate or exchange
waste for waste. Mycorrhizae fields are just one giant digester and they never force feed your
plant, they deliver what the plant calls for. That’s what you call the perfect symbiotic
relationship. Yucca root has high levels of saponin and Native Americans used it for years to
make soap and shampoo. Saponins-group of chemicals with detergent-like properties that plants
produce to help them resist microbial pathogen such as fungi and certain bacteria and viruses.
Hades Down: 0-1-0
Ingredients: Phosphoric acid
Product Details:
Hades Down is a pH adjusting liquid used to lower the pH of your nutrient
solution. Hades Down chelates elements in the nutrient solution into
stable, slow releasing forms which are easier for plants to absorb.
Providing readily absorbed natural molecules, Hades Down has the ability
to stimulate microorganisms and plant growth. This stimulation will
directly affect increases in CO2 production, photosynthesis, beneficial microbes, and plant vigor
and health. When mixing fertilizers in a reservoir, Hades Down will help prevent nutrient
solution fall out.
Note: The ideal pH for nutrient solutions for Nectar for the Gods is 6.0 – 6.2 in Veg and 6.2 –
6.4 in Flower. Most gardeners don’t have a reason to use Hades Down. But it is here for those
who have very high pH tap water or for those of you who may need it to pH your teas..
Features:
• Unique product to the horticultural industry.
• Chelates elements into slow releasing forms.
• Prevent nutrient solution fall out.
• Safe and natural product.

Athena’s Aminas: 0.5-0-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Natural water soluble amino acids. Derived from Protein
Hydrolysate
Product Details:
Every plant needs certain compounds for growth beyond soil, light, water,
and CO2. Plants can use more amino acids than they can find or synthesize
in their natural environment. If amino acids are not available, plant growth will slow based on
lack of the essential tools for continued cell production. Athena’s Aminas provides a readily
available amino acid source of nitrogen to optimize protein production and allow for maximum
growth rates. By adding an amino acid source of nitrogen, you enable your plants to build
proteins as quickly as they are able. When using Athena’s Aminas, you can expect to see faster,
healthier growth, resulting in bigger, more vigorous plants. Aminas are key to starting protein
synthesis in cells.
Features:
• Grows more vigorous plants with greater ability to resist pests and diseases.
• Overcomes one of the most common limiting factors to plant growth.
• Allows for faster and healthier growth.
• Achieves maximum plant cell production.
Athena’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Pure L-Amino acid liquid, 22 L-Aminos
designed for cell building and nutrient uptake. Act like a Nitrogen but does not stretch, elongate
or stress out the plant.
Athena’s Tip:
Some growers say that they reduce Athena’s along with some of the other ‘N’ nutrients late in
flower when they are trying to lower the nitrogen load, however, amino acids are important in
late flower. Amino acids are the building blocks to proteins and proteins are what develop the
flower. The N in Athena’s is so low (0.5%) most flowers and genetics have no negative effect.
The flowers need a little nitrogen to develop all those sugar leaves. Cutting out N and amino
acids completely is essentially robbing the plant of an element and compound it does need. Just
more or less at different stages of growth. It may be recommended to cut it out with some
growers because we have found that a specific genetic/strain, Cookies especially, really like to
find nitrogen and stay green. If you are wanting to pull back on your nitrogen in flower, you
should look more at Medusa’s Magic. One other thing some growers do to limit Nitrogen for
Nitrogen sensitive varieties is to utilize Triton's for aminos more than Athena's. Instead of upping
Athena's from 1 to 2 TBL/gal in mid-flower as it shows on the schedule, up Triton's Trawl
instead.

Demeter’s Destiny: 0-0.5-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Product Details:
Demeter’s Destiny is more useful than any synthetically derived cal/mag.
Synthetic calcium and/or magnesium products are not desirable because
they are also applying nitrogen to your crop in the form of calcium nitrate
and magnesium nitrate.
Magnesium deficiencies in soil and coco mediums are completely solved by applying Demeter’s
Destiny. The calcium phosphate and chelating acids naturally chelate the magnesium already
present but locked in your soil medium and then deliver them to the plant in a non-metal form.
Features:
• Helps to carry all nutrients into the plant.
• Improves nutrient availability and cell wall integrity.
• Encourages solid stem growth to prevent stem breakage.
• Promotes the cleanest, sweetest, most aromatic produce.
• Offers microbes and root systems balanced forms of calcium.
Demeter’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ The answer to Cal/mg deficiency, along with
Herculean Harvest, that isn’t a nitrogen form. This is a calcium phosphate, that isn’t derived
from bone meal. Demeter’s Destiny is a liquid calcium, digested from milk products and we use
an organic acid to digest the calcium molecules and the residual chelation materials in the
Demeter’s are designed to digest magnesium naturally from coir fiber and peat moss. It is very
effective as long as there is minimal salt present in the root zone. If the salt level builds up
around the roots stomata, then the plants ability to naturally extract calcium and magnesium from
the coir fiber is hindered. Great Calcium supplement to go with other nutrition regimens.
Salt buildup can be remedied by initiating a Herculean Harvest flush pH’d in the mid 6’s. This
calcium flush will tie up excess salts and turn them into organic compounds that need to be
broken down by a microbial field before the plant can access it again.

Bloom Khaos: Calcium Facilitator
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Kelp extract (Ascophyllum nodosum), gamma (proprietary
ingredient)
Product Details:
Bloom Khaos is Nectar for the Gods’ patent pending secret weapon for
flower production and alleviating hidden hunger. When using Bloom
Khaos as a foliar feed in Veg, one should notice more flower sites, larger, denser flowers, and
superior color, flavor, and aroma. Bloom Khaos improves plant health and vigor while reducing
stress at crucial times of the plants’ life cycle, such as: transplanting, flower transition, and prior
to taking cuttings. Bloom Khaos works best if used daily as a foliar spray in the early stages of
growth and up to a few weeks into flowering. After that, it works well as a water-in additive.
Foliar spray up to twice a day in vegetative cycle and as little as once a week to see the benefits
of stronger stems, shorter internodal length, and ultimately more vigorous flower sets.
Achieving maximum weight yields when using Nectar for the Gods nutrients will require feeding
the maximum dosage rates of Bloom Khaos and Herculean Harvest. Use Bloom Khaos as a foliar
feed during vegetation and early flowering and as a watered-in nutrient additive during late
flowering.
Bloom Khaos Tip:
When using Bloom Khaos, watch for calcium deficiencies: curling leaf tips, “taco-ing” leaf
edges, or curly-q leaves. To remedy or prevent calcium deficiencies and to fully unlock the
potential of Bloom Khaos, we recommend using the following Nectar for the Gods products with
Bloom Khaos: Herculean Harvest, Demeter’s Destiny, Aphrodite’s Extraction, and Olympus Up.
Please refer to the Nectar for the Gods feeding schedule for guidelines on application rates.
Bloom Khaos Tip2:
Mixing nutrients with Bloom Khaos will work, but the longer the Bloom Khaos sits with other
things, the less reactive it becomes in the plant. It wants to react. And it wants calcium. I
personally do Khaos all on its own. Even if I want to foliar feed other components, I just foliar
feed them twice in a day, once with the bottle of Khaos, and once with my other secret
concoction. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Note: Do not use this product without organic calcium as it can quickly cause deficiencies in
your plants.
Features:
• Calcium-Facilitator.
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 15
• Reduces plants stress.
• Encourages more flower sites.
• Yields larger and denser flowers.
• Grows stronger and thicker stems.
Bloom Khaos Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Where do I start with this product? You can
see it on You Tube, and all I can say is that when foliar feeding with this be sure to always have
adequate levels of liquid bone meal going into the root zone at the same time. When using the
Khaos, having calcium phosphate and calcium bicarbonate available to plants is extremely
important. Mixing the Khaos with any salts will tie up the calcium and make it less available.
The best balance to driving the Khaos is increasing the Herculean Harvest at the same time as
increasing the Khaos. Those two go hand in hand for flower development and overall weight.
Bloom Khaos acts as a calcium facilitator, a calcium magnet if you will. When Khaos is sprayed
under the foliage, it triggers the plants want for calcium for cell development and cell division.
As a foliar in Veg, the Khaos Foliar and Herculean Harvest watered in, work together creating
tighter flowering sites, more branching and aggressive fruit stacking. When these two products
are in balance, it enhances the stage which the plant is currently in. Use at a minimum of every
other day. Once the plants are in the bloom stage, and you begin to apply it to the root zone, this
combination will promote harder flowers, heavier weight and richer oils. One trick the gardeners
have figured out is the driving force to gain weight in the fruit is to slowly increase the doses of
Khaos along with the application rate of the Herculean. The more Herculean we can get to
relocate in the fruit, the heavier the fruit will be. In Denver we see the test results come back
from our commercial growers and what they have found is that the plants sprayed with Khaos
and fed lots of Herculean Harvest had higher levels of active ingredients in the fruiting bodies
than the control plants that were left to the regular recipe without Khaos.
Use Bloom Khaos as a soil drench the week prior to final flush. Do NOT use a calcium nitrate
with Bloom Khaos because the nitrate will create a thinner cell wall and you don’t want to be in
the 4th week of flower and pumping your plant full of nitrogen (any nitrate is a nitrogen base)
Also, the active ingredient to Khaos is undiscovered by science. It is a patent pending compound
that our scientist has developed after thirty years of plant science and research. The active
ingredient is a calcium facilitator that promotes cell development and cell division.
Feed chart shows foliar feed Bloom Khaos from Veg to week 3 or 4 of flower. You can go later,
just spray lower side of the plant. When you go past that, then you can use 1 tsp up to 1 TBL per
gallon. Plant will not get too much of Bloom Khaos as long as you supplement properly with
Herculean Harvest. Find that special number that works for you. As a guideline, if you add
Bloom Khaos at 1tsp per gallon to every feed, you need to up HH 20-30% from what the feed
chart says. If you are going to go to 1 TBL of BK, add 1-3 TBL more of Herculean Harvest.
If you run out of Herculean Harvest, do NOT use Bloom Khaos again until you get Herculean
Harvest back into the root zone. If you’re using a TBL of Bloom Khaos and you’re not feeding
enough HH, you may see calcium deficiency.
There is enough calcium in the Herculean Harvest, Demeter's Destiny and Olympus Up to meet
the Bloom Khaos needs. If you are not using Demeter’s Destiny in your feedings or Olympus Up
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 16
to pH, then you may need to be supplementing even a greater amount of Herculean. However, a
low pH will still prevent all that calcium from being available.
Q. Can you elaborate on the amounts of Herculean Harvest and other items that help to facilitate
the calcium needed to help Bloom Khaos reach its highest potential for the plant during its late
flowering cycle? You had mentioned 6-8 TBL per gallon in the last few weeks. Please be as
specific as you can to help me get a better idea.
A. This is a loaded question for sure. Every environment, gardener, garden, plant strain etc. etc.
are different. What we recommend as a guideline is for every 1 tsp per quart of Khaos you
should be watering in at least 2 tablespoons of Herculean to offer the adequate amounts of
calcium. As you slowly increase the Bloom Khaos dilution rate, you will want to balance the
calcium needs with the Herculean. When I am playing with a new genetic, I see how far I can
push each one. I slowly increase both of these products until I see signs that they are starting to
not accept it all and at that time I do a plain watering once, then back the dilution to the last
documented happy feed, and maintain that until the flush cycle. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Q. Can you please give me another quick crash course on the use of Bloom Chaos in Veg as
opposed to Bloom? Should I start with as little as a 1/4 dose in veg?
A. Bloom Khaos is a calcium facilitator that, when applied to the foliage, promotes the uptake of
calcium to promote cell building and cell division. When Khaos is used during the veg stage, it
promotes more branching, less elongation and thicker stem walls. This is beneficial in veg
because it promotes tight inter-nodal flower spacing so when you transition into flowering the
flower sites start closer together and as the plants stretch towards the HPS color spectrum in
bloom, the flowers have a better chance of stacking and growing into one another forming large
top flowers. – Scott D Ostrander
Q. Is there anything else I should know before spraying?
A. There have been reports from some growers that certain strains of cannabis don’t take well to
Bloom Khaos in a foliar spray. There have been a few reports of ‘anything Kush’ is touchy with
Khaos. Also, one grower noticed that Magnesium hogs (which also tend to be Calcium hogs)
along with nitrogen sensitive plants don't seem to fare as well with the Khaos foliar feedings as
others. There are likely some exceptions, but just something that seems to show some
correlation. However, we all should know correlation is not causation.

Olympus Up: Liquid Limestone
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Ground limestone (natural calcite) in liquid form
Product Information:
Olympus Up is the Nectar for the Gods pH up product unique to the
industry created from nanosized limestone suspended in water. Limestone
is a rock made of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different
crystal forms of calcium carbonate. Most calcium carbonate is composed
of skeletal fragments of marine organisms falling to the bottom of an ocean and becoming a
fossilized layer of rock. Calcium carbonate has been a staple for organic gardening for a long
time but the ability to get instant availability for pH balancing and microbiology is new. Using a
new process to get an extremely small particle size this calcium source is more available to
microbiology while still being in a pure rock form.
By using liquid calcium as a pH adjusting component, you will add more calcium to your plants’
cell structure, promoting cell wall integrity. Residual Olympus Up in the soil will increase
aeration, promote microbial activity by offering a food source for the soil biota, and contribute to
nutrient delivery. Olympus Up is essential when using Herculean Harvest. We recommend using
Olympus Up with Herculean Harvest to form an amazing calcium food source for soil microbes.
They may also be used together for a more efficient flush, either at the end of your growing
cycle, or in new potting medium to stabilize pH and prepare for planting.
Olympus Up Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ This is our answer to pH up. It’s a nanolimestone
that is solubilized. It is pure rock in liquid form. We do not like the cheap versions
because they are simply a potassium hydroxide that have a tendency to kill microbial life in the
soil. We make a liquid calcite limestone pH adjuster. This serves two major purposes. First, the
calcium bicarbonate adjusts the pH of the solution and adds a desirable form of calcium for
nutrient uptake. 2nd, the portion of Olympus that isn’t fully digested is designed to enter the root
zone and attach itself to the medium so that when it is being broken down by the microbial field,
their waste product, which is often an organic acid, will be buffered by the undigested limestone
preventing acid drift in the soil. This was made for koi ponds to remove algae, clarify water and
buffer the pH of a koi pond. Frank, who designed Olympus up, had a koi pond in his backyard,
made a pH up out of limestone, puts in 4 capfuls per 100 gallons. It’s clear as a whistle and no
more algae or seaweed.
****NOTE: *****Below are the remaining, non-essential additive
enhancers and what they are designed to do.
As far as the other products below, not essential, but important for many growers. – Scott D.

Aphrodite’s Extraction: 0-1-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Dextrose, Sucrose and Glucose. Derived from Monopotassium
phosphate
Product Details:
You have a short time at the end of your plants life cycle to sweeten your
fruits and make them the most desirable. Aphrodite’s Extraction provides a
rich blend of a proprietary blend of sucrose, fructose, chelated nutrients, vitamins, and organic
acids to promote a thriving microbial population and strong, healthy plant growth. In addition to
calcium, microbes need carbon in order to manufacture complex proteins for normal growth and
reproduction: low carbon equals low microbial activity. Sucrose is one of the most available
forms of carbon for a plant. When sucrose and fructose are blended with proteins, they become a
microbial feast essential to plants’ microbiological processes. The organic nutrients in
Aphrodite’s Extraction are naturally chelated for increased availability to the plant which
strengthens your plants resistance to disease by helping to promote photosynthesis.
Aphrodite’s Extraction Tip:
Customers who use Aphrodite’s Extraction have experienced dramatic flavor improvements
when applying it in the last weeks of the plant’s life cycle. The addition of sugar, and calcium
from complimentary Nectar products, allows the plant to process more sugars to improve its
ability to procreate.
Features:
• Experience dramatic flavor improvements when applying it in the last weeks of the plants
life cycle.
• Use as a microbial food source instead of molasses to protect your microbiology when
you aren’t brewing. (when brewing, always use molasses)
• Allows the plant to process more sugars to improve its ability to procreate.
• Provides organic acids necessary for enzymatic activity.
• Complete balance of vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6 and B12.
• Increases in disease resistance and yields.
Aphrodite’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Naturally, in fall, as the crop translocate all
the sugar that the chlorophyll has created during it’s season, and translocate them into the fruit to
sweeten them up and make them more desirable. Indoor, you rarely get to the fall cycle in the
plants life. We run them through and they are done, they are often predominantly still green, and
they haven’t started to turn yellow and they haven’t moved any of that sugar that you spent all
that time and energy creating. If you are that guy, we’ve made you photosynthetic sugar in a
bottle. It’s 100% translocation. It will go through the roots to the tip of the plant. Your plant will
direct Aphrodite’s Extraction wherever it needs to go. It helps secrete out the resins and the oils
and the intensity of the flavor. This one is cool but doesn’t need to be used all the way through. It
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 19
won’t hurt to use it all the way but if you’re simply trying to enhance the final product, then
applying this in the last weeks of feed and then the last week of flushing, you will promote richer
stronger flavors and enhanced aromas. This product is derived from calcium’s simplest sugar,
Dextrose and sucrose. It is in such an available form, the plant can absorb it and relocate it
directly to the site it as needed. This carbon compound is the same as the sugars produced from
the breakdown of the photosynthetic retain. We like to call it liquid Fall. It sweetens up the fruit.
I use it as a microbial tea compost starter. Use it as a food source instead of molasses. NFTG
started doing biological tests, studying the differences between the digested carbons of
Aphrodite’s Extraction and the carbon in Molasses using a microscope. They found that the
carbon from molasses is huge. Molasses is a super complex long chain of sugars into a
microscopic organism. In other words, it’s a lead blanket. So while you’re feeding molasses to
the top of your plants, and you’re wondering why you have to keep inoculating your mycorrhizae
that you spent $300 a pound on, it’s because you’re choking them with a carbon chain that they
can’t possibly break down. Aphrodite’s Extraction is a predigested form of the same sugar, it’s
just predigested into smaller bites. It speeds up compost.
What do carbs/sugars do for plants? We know that the microbial life feed off the carbohydrates,
but what does it do for the plant?
For the cellular level, It’s the energy, it’s the life force, it’s what the plant has to create through
chlorophyll to create the energy to grow and become healthy and strong so if you’re not
producing the right type of sugar through the vegetation and through the foliage, you have to
have some form of sugar, it has to be the right type of sugar and have the sugar in the correct
form, whether it is dextrose or sucrose. That helps the translocation of nutrients and the
availability of nutrients through energy inside the plant. You’re basically feeding the biological
activity but you’re not feeding the plant when you use molasses. You’re not feeding the plant at
all, it can’t feed because it’s too big. You are literally waiting for the microbes to break that
down, so if you do multiple dilutions of that, you’re just choking out your microbial field. You
can foliar feed AE, and the microbes will feed off of the sucrose and dextrose like it’s crack.
Using molasses will kill the mycorrhizae that I had colonized the whole time. ~ Scott D.
Ostrander
Are you saying I shouldn’t ever use molasses, even in my Teas?
Scott D. Ostrander ~ So I just want to be clear on my Monster Garden video about molasses. I
still use and recommend molasses in my teas for feeding the microbes in the water and in the tea
solution. The reason for this is because molasses is FAR cheaper then Aphrodite's, FAR FAR
FAR cheaper, and the long chain carbon that molasses has is beneficial in teas because it offers a
bigger meal for the microbes that lasts much longer in the solution. Using molasses in the teas to
feed the microbes can and will buy you 24-48 hours of microbial feeding. We do not promote the
use of molasses as a soil drench because of the size of the carbon chain. We have seen it
suffocate the mycorrhizal field rendering them useless or hindered in nutrient absorption.
Aphrodite's Carbon is a digested oligosaccharide that is made up of many mono and
polysaccharides that are derived from milk fats. These saccharides have the same properties as
the saccharides in the plant produced from chlorophyll to sweeten up fruit, giving it a higher brix
content. Now the downfall of using it in a tea is that because it is so extremely digested already,
it makes for one fast meal for the microbes in the tea machine which in turn can run out,
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 20
rendering the microbes hungry and food-less. Once the microbes run out of food to consume,
they turn on each other and eat the population down. So you can still use the Aphrodite’s in the
teas, you just have to feed them considerably more often which means you are buying more,
which really only benefits us. So please feel free to save your money and use molasses in the teas
and Aphrodite’s to feed the soil.
Calcium Syrup – Harvest Moon Organics Brand
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: (coming soon)
Product Details:
Rumor has it that this product will be called Persephone when it is
bottled under the Nectar for the Gods Brand. It can't be sold in stores
outside the state of Oregon, until NFTG gets the labels registered in
each state.
Calcium Syrup is our answer to not using Cane Sugar molasses and replacing it with a smaller
carbon chain from tree sap. It's just calcium sulfonate from tree sap. The Calcium Syrup is easier
to digest by your microbes than molasses. Calcium syrup has trace levels of sulfur that promote
terpene profiles and the calcium lignin which it’s made from will feed the microbes in the soil.
Similar to Aphrodite’s Extraction, except the Calcium Syrup is molasses based instead of simple
sugar based. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Calcium Syrup Tip: I feel molasses is better for feeding microbes in the tea and the calcium
syrup feeds the microbes in the soil. Smaller carbon chains are easier on the soil tilth. Molasses
makes a good tea food as it is free roaming in water, has a longer feed life span than the calcium
syrup and by the time most people use their teas, the carbon chains on the molasses have been
digested and broken down. I personally still use molasses in my teas only. In addition, Molasses
contains magnesium. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Mega Morpheus: 0-2-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Worm Castings, seabird guano, humic acid (leonardite) and
Kelp Extract (derived from Ascophyllum nodosum (Microbial Food))
Product Details:
Mega Morpheus is a fully digested source of readily available natural
phosphate, and the only guano tea on the market today that is free of grit
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 21
and sand. Our unique process completely filters out grit and sand, offering a consistency suitable
for soil, soilless, and hydroponic growing mediums. Nutrients in Mega Morpheus are made
totally available through digestion and chelation, increasing nutrient delivery and uptake. When
using Mega Morpheus, you can expect an increase in photosynthesis, vigor and health, as well as
flower size and flavor.
Mega Morpheus is the best available guano product on the market from an ecological perspective
and plant usability standpoint. Seabird guano is much more preferable to bat guano both from the
horticultural and ecological perspective. The bat guano has much larger salt content and less of
an inherent ability to release those bonds where seabird guano has much less salt with better
biodegradability than bat guano has. Bat Guanos are typically harvested using destructive
techniques that cause permanent damage to the bats and thus permanent damage to a vital part of
the ecosystem. Very few guanos are harvested humanely and NFTG recommends when you
purchase guano tea, use the seabird guano for the above reasons.
Features:
• Finely filtered.
• Ultra-digested.
• Unique in the industry.
• Made with certified organic worm castings.
• Humanely harvested ingredients.
NFTG Mega Morpheus Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Guano tea. It is a digested Seabird
guano with amino acids and Organic certified worm castings that we chelate off the humic acid
on castings from veggie fed worms. Highly filtered, highly digested seabird guano and worm
casting tea. High load of phosphate. Super clean and filtered and totally available, but not
necessary to grow beautiful plants.
Why doesn’t NFTG use Bat Guano?
The beauty of bat caves is; you got your bats and then you’ve got this layer of shit, but right
between the bats and this layer of shit are a whole field of three high wall to wall cockroaches.
So every bat that shits on a cockroach, the cockroach eats that shit and then shits out cockroach
shit, which you make bat guano tea out of. So essentially it’s cockroach tea. Every time they
extract an entire cave of guano, 9 out of 10 of these manufacturers don’t care how they get it,
how it’s done, or how it’s manufactured or processed, “give me the damn bat guano”. So they
bash out the side of a cave walls, extracting all of the guano out using front loaders, leaving all of
those bats to never come home again and then they die because they don’t have homes. They
don’t re-colonize with other bats. If they don’t say bat conservancy on there, if they aren’t paying
a huge amount of money to protect the bat conservancy in this world, they are part of the
problem in this world. So Mexico right now is just a big hillside with smashed in side walls
where they extract as much of the guano as they can and then they go on to the next hillside.
Essentially, Seabird guano is sustainable and bat guano contains too much salt. ~ Scott D.

Triton’s Trawl: 0.5-4-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Fish bone meal, BioAg Fulvic Acid
Product Details:
Originally formulated as an alternative for Herculean Harvest, Triton’s
Trawl is for those gardeners who want the benefit of a liquid bonemeal
but do not wish to utilize a product derived from farmed livestock.
Ultimately this product has become one the most unique and potent products in the Nectar line.
Rich in calcium, Triton’s Trawl delivers flavor, aroma and color to the finished product. It can be
used alone or to enhance the effects of Herculean Harvest.
The cartilage that makes up fishbone has more of an amino acid base that triggers the plants
response to generate color and aromas in a different way than other animal proteins. Oregon’s
Only Organics found that this difference is due to the fact that there exists an entirely different
chain of amino acids in fish protein.
When in the test trials of this product their employees saw amazing enhanced colors and aromas.
After they noticed these favorable results from the fish protein they began to incorporate the
Triton’s Trawl with the Herculean Harvest during feedings and saw even bigger fruit size along
with new aesthetics that put the fruit on another level.
The residual fishbone in the soil becomes a great food source for the microbial field for an
extended period of time making the microbes rich in nutrient consumption as well as delivery to
the plants.
Features:
• Made from only fish proteins.
• Digested and hydrolyzed whole fish.
• Brings out the aromas and flavors of fruits.
• Works with Herculean Harvest to get better yield.
Triton’s Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Liquid Fishbone Meal. Unique product in the
industry. A digested cartilage form of calcium phosphate. It doesn’t have the same bone structure
or rock structure as Herculean Harvest has. Herculean Harvest will build your fruit with an actual
rock substance. This one, being a cartilage is going to have more of an amino acid base. By
itself, it has a small flower that has a ton of everything else. But using Herculean Harvest at a 2:1
ratio to Triton’s Trawl gives you the best of both worlds. Again, not necessary, but what you will
find from this product is that the unique, seagoing amino acid chain that fish cartilage has,
creates and enhances the plants appearance and aromas. I would recommend not using it for the
first couple of rounds and then trying it for the last couple of weeks on the third round so you can
see the difference.

Poseidonzime: 0-0-0.5
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Kelp extract (Ascophyllum nodosum)
Product Details:
Poseidonzime is a liquefied seaweed product digested through an
enzymatic process that allows for maximum availability to plant tissues
and microbiology. Rich in organic acids and over 60 naturally occurring
major and minor nutrients and amino acids. Kelp is a good natural source of potassium and
cytokinins, which promote cell division in root and plant growth, and affect apical dominance,
axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence (biological aging). Designed to be a natural chelator,
Poseidonzime helps release previously unavailable nutrients and other substances in the soil for
plants to use. Known as one of the best natural plant growth promoters, Poseidonzime reduces
plant stress while increasing flower clusters and overall vigor in the plants’ reproduction.
Poseidonzime inhibits growth in populations of mites, aphids, white flies and root-knot
nematodes by increasing your plants natural ability to fight pests and disease.
Tip: Foliar spray as much as 3 times a week during the vegetative phase to give your plants the
nutrients they desire through the leaves and stems as well as through the medium. Use as little as
once every 2 weeks during the vegetative phase to notice increased health of your organic plants.
Features:
• Contains organic amino acids.
• North Atlantic seaweed based nutrient.
• Organically feeds leaves and stems from the outside.
Poseidonzime Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Now spelled with an I (zime), it used to be
spelled with a y (zyme), but that’s a no-no in California and Oregon. Liquid Sea kelp. It’s a cold
water North Atlantic kelp, it’s a digest, very similar to any other liquid seaweed in the industry.
Simply a potassium rich liquid seaweed. Some soils strip potassium or tie it up and this would
help correct that issue. There’s nothing else really special about it other than the amino acids
that are added to it.

Pegasus Potion: 1-2-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: gamma (proprietary ingredient used in Bloom Khaos),
Feather Meal and phosphoric acid
Product Details:
WOW! This stinks, but for good reason. Pegasus Potion is a new concept
of nitrogen delivery. It is a nitrate free, totally available protein source of
nitrogen. Extraction through enzyme hydrolysis makes Pegasus Potion more biochemically
viable, preserving amino acid integrity by breaking proteins at specific sites Nitrogen proteins
are extracted from feathers and digest into their simplest, most available forms. Pegasus Potion
can be used as an extremely effective foliar spray as well as a root drench to promote greening
and vegetative growth. If you feel you need more nitrogen and don’t want the burn or the stretch
then Pegasus will show you how it’s done.
A little warning to all who are thinking about using Pegasus Potion: IT SMELLS REALLY
BAD. We have done everything in our power to quell the stench, and nothing we have tried will
mask the smell. Sorry.
Pegasus Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ This is a pure nitrogen derived from digested
feather meal. It has 2% protein based nitrogen so it is impossible to burn with it and the plants
won’t elongate like a nitrate will do. Be fair warned however, that this product is digested down
to its simplest protein, and nothing wants to bond with it. Even our mint oil will not touch the
smell of liquid feathers. Smells awful, but highly effective.
Pegasus Potion on the feed chart is ‘as needed’ means that we, as a company, put all of our focus
on the availability of all the plant nutrition in the form of calcium and calcium bonds. We are
confident that most plants, with the exception of corn and maybe tomatoes, can access all the
nitrogen they need from the soil, from Medusa’s Magic and from the atmosphere. But for some
farmers that doesn't seem or feel like it is enough and they wanted more. So we produced a
digested protein Nitrogen source from feathers so that the growers had a tool to get their plants
greened up without pumping them full of nitrates. So the ‘as needed’ is, if you feel like you need
more nitrogen, then here is our nitrogen only product to enhance that. Many, many, many
gardeners use it as part of their arsenal. I absolutely love it (minus the smell) and I always have a
small rancid bottle of it in my truck so if I ever get into a road rage incident, I use it as method of
retaliation. Simply follow the person home or work to see where they park their car. Then come
back later and pour a capful down into their air intake near the windshield so that they can enjoy
the smell of how they drive. LOL. Sometimes I am not that nice. Usually I am.
I can say that mixing the Pegasus and the kraken together not only makes an eight legged flying
hours that smells like dead fish that just shit itself before death, but one hell of an amazing foliar
feed in the veg cycle. Hell of one for sure.
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 25
Pegasus Foliar Feeding Tip: In Veg, you can mix Pegasus and Kraken together (Scott says it's
amazing). 1 tsp of Pegasus per quart and 1 tsp of kraken per quart in Veg he says makes a hell of
a foliar spray. Alternate (in a separate foliar later in the day or another day) that mix with a foliar
of Bloom Khaos, which is a calcium facilitator (which means you should be ensuring you have
enough calcium in your soil drench so that the plant can take up the calcium) and you'll be
growing like a champ!
The Kraken: 0-4-0
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Crab Shell meal, Shrimp Shell Meal, Phosphoric Acid
Kraken Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Kraken will end up being
higher up on the list. I would dare to say before Aphrodite’s Extraction,
and after Olympus up. It is actually crab and shrimp shell. No meal, no
meat no nitrogen. Through the digestion process we are breaking down
the shell into available forms of Chitin and phosphorous.
Using the Kraken and Bloom Khaos together (alternating times) as a foliar will promote a
synthesis in the plant that will help promote more natural oils and resin. Because we are using
just the shells, we have found that the Chitin in the shells when reacted with the Active
ingredient in Khaos, it is synthesizing plant oils. Pretty damn cool what this stuff is capable of.
For the Kraken 1-2 tsp in Veg, and up to 1 TBL in Bloom.
Kraken Tip:
I just wanted to share this feedback from a grower that gives us very helpful notes on what he
says they see when applying the Kraken.
"Hey Scott I wanted to follow up with you on our progress thus far with the crab/shrimp meal so
far we have noticed the following benefits. Increased resistance to environmental stress but more
importantly a dramatic increase in pest resistance this accompanied by a solid organic
preventative will give any bug a run for it's money. We had a garden with pretty bad mites we
saw tremendous headway against them while doing consistent sprays in combination with 10ml
per gal crab/shrimp added to the root feed we have almost completely rid the garden of bugs
after 7 days of treatment. We have also seen it valuable to plants in stressful situations such as
transplant adding this to our Transplant feed or young plant feed at 2.5 - 5ml per gal depending
on size and level of stress we have seen expedited bounce back, increased health, and vigor. In
addition to those we have seen the benefit of additional calcium throughout veg even in our very
large veg plants we have not needed to exceed 15ml of Herculean (so we can save for flower)
when properly supplemented. We have also seen an increase in bud sites, stronger growth, as
well as darker green foliage throughout. We have even seen some damaged leaf tissue begin to
regenerate. We will be in flower shortly so I will be able to give you our observations on the
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 26
stage soon I'm interested to see the benefits from transition all the way to ripening and will keep
you updated throughout I can say we love this product and will definitely be keeping this in our
regimen the variety of benefits seems to increase every time we use it we appreciate the
opportunity to test these products it's a blast to play with some new toys."
This type of feedback is extremely helpful in developing our products. Without it, we don’t
really know what it's doing in your garden. SO if you have feedback always feel free to share. It
only helps us get better at what we do. ~ Scott D. Ostrander
Hygeia Hydration: Yucca Extract
Foliar Feed
Root Drench
Ingredients: Yucca extract (saponin extracted from Yucca schidigera)
Hygeia’s Hydration is our blending tool for the Nectar for the Gods line
of nutrients. Rich in saponin, Yucca acts as a wetting agent to aid in root
penetration for maximum nutrient uptake. The organic acids in Yucca
contribute to chelation of other nutrients, making them more available to
microbes and to your plants. Hygeia’s Hydration can be used for those pesky soils that dry out
and will not rehydrate with regular watering. You can also use Hygeia’s Hydration as a wetting
agent for foliar feeding nutrients, pest control, and fungal sprays. Yucca extract has inherent
insecticidal properties in addition to being a great surfactant spreader you get the anti-mold and
anti-fungal benefits from the saponin.
Note: Because of the high saponin levels, this product behaves like a soap when agitated and
should not be used for heavily aerated reservoirs. (brewing teas)
Features:
• Encourages microbiology by creating a saponin coating over organic nutrients.
• Makes organic soil elements more available to microbes.
• Assists in root penetration & nutrient absorption.
• Contributes to chelation of nutrients.
• Saponin extracted from Yucca schidigera.
Hygeia Information from Scott D. Ostrander ~ Foliar wetting agent for bug sprays and nutrients.
It helps rehydrate your mediums. If you use a lot of coco, it’s a good idea to use this in soil
drench. Peat moss, you can get by with less. I know with coco fiber when moist, doesn’t want
to let go of water, but when dry, it will not absorb water, it’s hydrophobic, peat moss is the same
way. If you ever let your medium go beyond moist, to a dry state, it’s really hard to get it to take
that water back in to the medium. Hygeia Hydration will help speed up that process so that
you’re not pouring valuable nutrients down the side walls of your container and out of your
garden. I never, ever, ever recommend watering in the tray to rehydrate up. You’re just pushing
Sunday, April 24, 2016 Page 27
salts up further and deeper into the medium. Which will, a couple of weeks from now, harder to
get back out. Always rehydrate from the top. It has been brought to our attention in drier
climates, drier/hotter rooms, places where the environment has a tendency to dry up the medium
quicker than normal, we’ve had a lot of requests for a wetting agent that is natural that can be
placed into the medium so that the nutrients won’t just rush right through the medium and into
the saucer. We came up with a liquid Yucca. It’s a wetting agent, the nice thing about Yucca is
it’s a saponin, very similar to like a soap. It creates bubbles when agitated, you don’t want to put
that in your compost teas with an air stone because you will have a giant frothy head. What we
found is that the mycorrhizae fungi really, really like the saponin because they have a tendency
to create an ‘m&m type coating’ around each one of the elements in the other bottles of NFTG. It
sticks to the nutrients so that your mycorrhizae field can tap into these little held food nutrient
bubbles, absorb those in, and wait for the signals from your plants to translocate or exchange
waste for waste. Mycorrhizae fields are just one giant digester and they never force feed your
plant, they deliver what the plant calls for. That’s what you call the perfect symbiotic
relationship. Yucca root has high levels of saponin and Native Americans used it for years to
make soap and shampoo. Saponins-group of chemicals with detergent-like properties that plants
produce to help them resist microbial pathogen such as fungi and certain bacteria and viruses.
Hades Down: 0-1-0
Ingredients: Phosphoric acid
Product Details:
Hades Down is a pH adjusting liquid used to lower the pH of your nutrient
solution. Hades Down chelates elements in the nutrient solution into
stable, slow releasing forms which are easier for plants to absorb.
Providing readily absorbed natural molecules, Hades Down has the ability
to stimulate microorganisms and plant growth. This stimulation will
directly affect increases in CO2 production, photosynthesis, beneficial microbes, and plant vigor
and health. When mixing fertilizers in a reservoir, Hades Down will help prevent nutrient
solution fall out.
Note: The ideal pH for nutrient solutions for Nectar for the Gods is 6.0 – 6.2 in Veg and 6.2 –
6.4 in Flower. Most gardeners don’t have a reason to use Hades Down. But it is here for those
who have very high pH tap water or for those of you who may need it to pH your teas..
Features:
• Unique product to the horticultural industry.
• Chelates elements into slow releasing forms.
• Prevent nutrient solution fall out.
• Safe and natural product.
