TL;DR
Vegetative boosters support rapid plant growth by improving root development, nutrient uptake, and plant strength during the vegetative stage. They help plants establish faster, grow stronger stems and leaves, and prepare for higher yields later in flowering.

Vegetative boosters are supplements used alongside base nutrients during the vegetative growth stage. They are not complete feeds, but targeted additives that enhance root growth, plant metabolism, stress resistance, and overall vigour before flowering begins.
These products may include root stimulants, enzymes, beneficial microbes, amino acids, vitamins, silica, and calcium-magnesium supplements.
During early growth, plants focus on building roots, stems, and foliage. Vegetative boosters help optimise this phase by:
Encouraging rapid root development and root mass
Improving nutrient absorption and transport
Strengthening stems and structural growth
Reducing transplant and environmental stress
Creating a healthier foundation for flowering and yield
Used correctly, vegetative boosters improve long-term performance and help plants transition into flowering more efficiently.
Vegetative boosters are typically applied:
From seedling or cutting stage
Throughout vegetative growth
Up until the first stage of flowering
They are suitable for soil, coco, and hydroponic systems, and work alongside base nutrient programs from brands such as CANNA, BioBizz, Plagron, Athena, and Advanced Nutrients.
