Why Choose General Hydroponics Floralicious Plus – Quart

Floralicious Plus is not a standalone fertilizer — it is a supplement that works alongside your existing nutrient program to deliver organic compounds that standard mineral formulas cannot provide. Here is what makes it worth adding to your feeding schedule:

• Broad-spectrum organic inputs in a single bottle. Floralicious Plus combines bioactive plant, marine, microbial, and mineral extracts into one concentrated formula. Rather than sourcing multiple single-source additives, growers get a wide range of organic building blocks from a single product.
• Active carbon technology for secondary compound biosynthesis. The organic fulvic base acts as a carbon carrier, facilitating the conversion and biosynthesis of complex secondary aromatic compounds — a mechanism that can contribute to richer terpene and flavonoid profiles in flowering crops.
• Supports mineral uptake and transport. High concentrations of amino acids and fulvic acid in the formula help chelate and transport mineral nutrients through plant tissue, improving the efficiency of your base fertilizer program.
• Stimulates root-zone microbial activity. The microbial extract component encourages beneficial microbial populations in the root zone, which in turn improve nutrient cycling and overall root health in both soil and soilless systems.
• Versatile across growth stages. Unlike many flowering boosters that are restricted to late bloom, Floralicious Plus is designed for continuous use from early vegetative growth through harvest — reducing the need for stage-specific additive swaps.

Best Uses for General Hydroponics Floralicious Plus – Quart

This additive is broadly applicable across growing environments and crop types. The following use cases represent the scenarios where growers get the most from the formula:

• Flowering and fruiting crops that benefit from enhanced essential oil and aromatic compound production. The active carbon and polyflavonoid components are particularly relevant for crops where terpene richness and fruit quality are a grower’s primary goal.
• Hydroponic and recirculating systems. Because Floralicious Plus is fully liquid and designed to integrate with existing nutrient reservoirs, it is well suited for NFT, DWC, ebb-and-flow, and drip systems where consistent reservoir chemistry is important. If you run your program alongside a dedicated bloom base like Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A, Floralicious Plus can complement it through the later flowering weeks.
• Soil and coco-based cultivation. The microbial and fulvic components are especially beneficial in living soil and coco systems where organic carbon availability influences both microbial populations and cation exchange at the root zone.
• Growers transitioning from purely mineral programs toward organic or blended feeding. Floralicious Plus provides an accessible entry point into organic supplementation without requiring a full program overhaul.
• Controlled-environment grows under high-output lighting. When crops are grown under intense lighting such as an Eye Hortilux 600W Ceramic HPS bulb, metabolic demand increases; the vitamins, amino acids, and complex sugars in Floralicious Plus provide additional metabolic support during periods of high photosynthetic activity.

Floralicious Plus vs Similar Organic Nutrient Additives

Growers evaluating Floralicious Plus often compare it to other single-part organic additive concentrates. The main distinction with Floralicious Plus is its multi-source input approach: rather than relying on a single organic extract class (e.g., kelp-only or humic-only products), it combines plant, marine, microbial, and mineral extract fractions in one bottle. This means a grower using Floralicious Plus is simultaneously delivering sea-derived compounds (naturally rich in micro-minerals and alginates), plant-derived phytostimulants, and microbial inoculant fractions alongside the fulvic acid carrier — a combination that would otherwise require several separate products.

The trade-off compared to individual single-source additives is that application rate and input concentration per source type cannot be adjusted independently. Growers who prefer to dial in kelp, humate, and amino acid doses separately may find single-ingredient products more flexible. For the majority of cultivators following a standard schedule, however, the convenience of a single concentrated multi-extract formula outweighs that limitation.

Compared to many proprietary two- or three-part bloom additives, Floralicious Plus has the advantage of being usable across all growth stages rather than only during flower — reducing the number of products a grower needs to carry on the shelf.

Compatibility

Floralicious Plus is designed to be used as an additive alongside any complete base fertilizer program. It is not a standalone nutrient and should always be combined with a balanced macro- and micronutrient formula. General compatibility notes based on the product formulation:

• Growing media: Compatible with hydroponic (recirculating and drain-to-waste), coco coir, perlite/vermiculite mixes, and soil-based systems. The microbial and organic extract components are particularly beneficial in living-soil and compost-amended media where they support existing biological activity.
• Base nutrient programs: Formulated to be used alongside General Hydroponics Flora Series and compatible with other mineral and organic base programs. Always add additives to the reservoir after measuring and adding base nutrients.
• pH range: Use within the standard hydroponic pH window of 5.5–6.5 (hydro/coco) or 6.0–7.0 (soil). The organic fulvic base may slightly lower reservoir pH; monitor and adjust accordingly after adding.
• System types: Suitable for use in enclosed grow tents and rooms. If you are building out a new grow space, consider that environmental stability from a well-sealed grow tent contributes to consistent results from any organic additive program.
• Mixing order: Add Floralicious Plus to the reservoir after base nutrients and pH adjustment, then re-check pH before introducing plants or running the system.

Dosing Guidelines

Floralicious Plus is a super-concentrated formula; always start at the lower end of the recommended rate and adjust based on plant response and runoff EC. The following dosing framework is based on General Hydroponics standard concentrate guidelines for this product type:

• Propagation / seedling: 0.5–1 mL per gallon. The mild organic inputs support root establishment without overloading young plants.
• Vegetative growth: 1–2 mL per gallon. Provides vitamins, amino acids, and phytostimulants to support active vegetative metabolism and canopy development.
• Early to mid-bloom: 2–3 mL per gallon. Increase to deliver polyflavonoids, aromatic oils, and complex sugars as the plant transitions to reproductive growth and flower sites begin to develop.
• Late bloom / fruit swelling: 2–3 mL per gallon continued through late flower. The essential oil and aromatic compound biosynthesis support is most active during this period.
• Final flush week: Reduce or omit per your standard flush protocol. Floralicious Plus is an additive and should be tapered along with other additives in the final week before harvest.

Always measure concentrate with a calibrated syringe. Shake the bottle before each use. Check reservoir EC before and after addition; Floralicious Plus contributes minimal EC at standard rates but concentrated organic inputs can affect EC readings at high doses.

How to Use Floralicious Plus

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring. Organic concentrates can settle between uses; inversion and shaking ensures consistent dosing.
2. Prepare your base nutrient solution first. Measure and mix your standard macro- and micronutrient base into the reservoir or mixing bucket, adjusting to the target EC for the current growth stage.
3. Measure Floralicious Plus using a calibrated 1 mL or 5 mL syringe. Use the dose rate appropriate for the current stage (see Dosing Guidelines above).
4. Add Floralicious Plus to the prepared nutrient solution and stir or allow recirculation to mix thoroughly.
5. Check and adjust pH. The organic fulvic base may shift pH slightly downward. Re-test pH after adding Floralicious Plus and adjust to the appropriate target range for your growing medium before feeding plants or running the reservoir.
6. Monitor EC. Verify that the final reservoir EC is within the target range for the growth stage. At standard dose rates Floralicious Plus contributes minimally to EC, but verify at higher doses or in small reservoirs.
7. Apply every watering or feeding cycle throughout the growth cycle as part of a consistent program. Consistent application across the full growth cycle maximizes the cumulative benefit of the microbial and organic carbon inputs.
8. Store the bottle in a cool location away from direct light between uses. Recap tightly after each use to prevent oxidation of the organic compounds.
