Description
Grow-Cal is an amino acid chelated liquid calcium, derived from non-synthetic calcium chloride. No EDTA chelators are used at all, which makes it safe for microbes. It is a replacement for calcium25 and can be used both as a foliar spray and as a drench.
Build A Soil's approach is that multiple sources of calcium create the best results when considering immediate and long term needs.
Because of the chelation, Grow-Cal used as a drench may also help with the availability of other forms of calcium. Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant sources of calcium, but it does take time to become bioavailable. Grow-Cal may increase the rate at which calcium carbonate and other forms become plant available.
This product is approved for use through the NOP program when dictated by a sap or soil test.
How to use
Shake well before each use. Apply Grow-Cal in the early morning or evening while there is still dew on the plant. Avoid applying it in direct sunlight when temperatures exceed 86°F (30°C). For even better results, apply it with high nitrogen amino acid products like Pure Protein Dry.
-
Fruit, vegetable and flower gardens: Apply 12-16 oz of Grow-Cal per 1,000 sq. ft. of planting area before planting. Hose end sprayers/injectors work best for this.
-
Soil drench, transplant or watering solution: Dilute 2 oz of Grow-Cal per 1 gallon of water. Use 4 oz (1/2 cup) of the diluted solution per plant every 2-4 weeks.
-
Foliar spray: Dilute 2 oz of Grow-Cal per 1 gallon of water and mist evenly onto plant foliage every 3 to 4 weeks. Water as usual.
