Mother Earth 5gal LiquiCraft Bloom 2-4-4 (48/PL)

What it is

Mother Earth LiquiCraft Bloom is a liquid concentrate fertilizer made for the flowering and fruiting stage, and this listing is the large 5-gallon container of it. The maker gives it a guaranteed analysis of 2-4-4 — a deliberately lower-nitrogen, higher phosphorus-and-potassium ratio. Mother Earth states the flowering and fruiting stages demand a shift in nutrient focus toward increased phosphorus and potassium to fuel reproductive growth, which is the reasoning behind the analysis. The maker also describes the product as derived from soy protein hydrolysate, beet vinasse, kelp, and more. It is a liquid you dilute into water, not a dry amendment — so a 5-gallon jug is meant to be measured out over many feedings.

Guaranteed analysis and specifications

The guaranteed-analysis header 2-4-4 is the maker’s published figure; the per-nutrient percentages (2.0% total nitrogen, 4.0% available phosphate, 4.0% soluble potash) are as reproduced on a carrying retailer’s label breakdown. The formula is identical to the smaller LiquiCraft Bloom sizes; only the container volume changes.

Why choose it

• A bloom-tuned ratio, at volume. The 2-4-4 analysis puts phosphate and potash ahead of nitrogen, matching the maker’s stated shift toward phosphorus and potassium for reproductive growth, and the 5-gallon size keeps that feed on hand for a full room or a long flowering run.
• Part of a simple two-part program. It is the bloom half of a two-part system that works with LiquiCraft Grow for full life-cycle nutrition, so you switch feeds by growth stage rather than juggling many bottles.
• Ingredient-forward blend. The maker lists it as derived from soy protein hydrolysate, beet vinasse, and kelp, among others.
• Wide system compatibility. The maker says it suits soil, soilless mixes, coco blends, and hydroponic systems, so one feed covers several grow styles.

Best uses

• Larger and repeat grows. The 5-gallon container suits growers who go through bloom feed steadily — multiple beds, a flowering room, or back-to-back cycles — and would rather refill from one jug than restock small bottles.
• Flowering and fruiting crops. The maker names blooming plants of all kinds and fruiting or vegetable-bearing plants such as tomatoes, peppers, and berries during their reproductive stages.
• The bloom phase of a staged feed. Use it as the second step in a complete two-part nutrient program, after the vegetative Grow feed.
• Soil, coco, and hydro alike. Because it is cleared for soil, soilless mixes, coco blends, and hydroponic systems, it fits growers running more than one medium.

Compatibility and media

LiquiCraft Bloom is a dilute-and-water liquid, so it drops into most feeding routines. The maker states it works in soil, soilless mixes, coco blends, and hydroponic systems, and pairs it with LiquiCraft Grow across the plant’s full life cycle. The maker advises you to check your nutrient solution’s pH and EC to keep nutrients available, which matters most in recirculating hydroponic reservoirs. A specific pH window, EC target, and mixing order with other additives are not published, so they are held below rather than guessed.

Feeding and application (maker directions)

The maker directs you to always mix the concentrate thoroughly before use, then feed at one of two rates:

• Light feeding: 2 teaspoons (10 ml) per gallon of water with every watering.
• Heavy feeding: 4 teaspoons (20 ml) per gallon.

The maker’s guidance is to keep application consistent throughout the flowering stage and to monitor pH and EC as you go. Those per-gallon rates make the 5-gallon jug easy to plan around: you measure the same dose per gallon of finished solution no matter how large the batch.

How it compares within the program

This table is factual — it sets the bloom feed next to its vegetative sibling. It does not claim one out-performs the other; which you run depends on your plant’s stage.
