Potassium phosphate
Potassium phosphate: a source of potassium and phosphorus. Potassium is responsible for water loss and absorption as well as the ability to endure colder temperatures. Potassium is also necessary in the formation of sugars, starches and carbohydrates needed for protein synthesis and cell division. Potassium aids in protein formation, photosynthesis, fruit/flower quality, and disease reduction. Phosphorus is an essential to the process of photosynthesis and is involved in the production of all oils, starches and sugars. Both stress reducer as well as maturation facilitator phosphorus affects rapid growth while boosting flower and root development.

Potassium Silicate
Potassium Silicate: is a mix of potassium and silicon. Potassium is responsible for water loss and absorption as well as the ability to endure colder temperatures. Potassium is also necessary in the formation of sugars, starches and carbohydrates needed for protein synthesis and cell division. Silicon is a key component to the formation of cell walls. Together they can increase the size of plant cell walls, increasing the size of stems and plant foliage as well as support heavy flowers resulting from thicker foliage which indirectly fights off cold trauma.

Potassium nitrate
Potassium nitrate: is a source of nitrogen. Nitrogen is needed for proteins, enzymes and all metabolic processes involved in the synthesis and transfer of plant energy. Nitrogen is part of all living cells and is part of chlorophyll, which is the green pigment in plants that makes photosynthesis occur. Nitrogen aids in rapid growth, seed and fruit production, and promotes lush leaves.

Mono Potassium phosphate
Mono Potassium phosphate: Is a source of phosphorus and potassium and is also a buffering agent. A buffering agent helps to stabilize PH. Phosphorus is an essential to the process of photosynthesis and is involved in the production of all oils, starches and sugars. Both stress reducer as well as maturation facilitator phosphorus affects rapid growth while boosting flower and root development. Potassium is responsible for water loss and absorption as well as the ability to endure colder temperatures. Potassium is also necessary in the formation of sugars, starches and carbohydrates needed for protein synthesis and cell division. Potassium aids in protein formation, photosynthesis, fruit/flower quality, and disease reduction.

Niacin
Niacin: or nicotinic acid is a water soluble vitamin (B3). The derivatives of Niacin interact with the energy metabolism of the plant cell.

Metal Halide Lamp
Metal Halide Lamp: A high-intensity-discharge lamp in which the light is produced by arcing electricity through a mixture of metal halides. The light produced by metal halide lamps is in the white-blue spectrum, which encourages vegetative growth and
