Lotus

ABOUT US

 

Lotus Nutrients were scientifically developed by Northern California growers with decades of medicinal plant cultivation experience. Our Team is comprised of growers, scientists and horticulturists whose growing styles and preferences runs the gamut. Unable to agree on any current line of hydroponic nutrients and frustrated with the required multiple step mixing process, they united with one unique vision to create the benchmark for pure medicinal grade plant nutrients. After many years of research, testing and development our team proudly gives you the cutting edge of Pure Premium Hydroponic Plant Nutrients. LOTUS


Lotus Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients

In an industry where growers are faced with hundreds of nutrients options, Lotus set out to make a simpler, more complete, 3 part nutrient line that replaces the need for complex 8-10 part recipes. Our pure, 3 part system gives your plants everything they need to for development from seed to harvest, giving you unmatched results in flowering and fruiting plants. Specifically formulated for medicinal plants and comprised of 14 unique raw, natural ingredients including 11 essential macro and micro elements as well as raw materials including seaweed plant extract, humalite, and plant protein hydrolysate. Lotus Nutrients are 100% water soluble formula milled and blended to provide perfect consistency and contains no binders, fillers, or dyes.

UNDERSTANDING NUTRIENTS

 

All plants need basic elements in order to perform the divinely beautiful process of photosynthesis. Those can be broken down into three simple categories. Air, Water, and Nutrients.

From air, the plants absorb a critical building block to all life, Carbon. Oxygen is also necessary for nutrient uptake and transpiration, although it is later released by the plant as waste.

Water is of course essential, as most plants are about 90% water. Water is the life blood of the plants transporting nutrients into the plant and is also the source of the plant’s “breathing” process. As transpiration happens through the leaves, the exiting water (the plants exhale) is replaced by carbon dioxide (the plants inhale).

Nutrients are the food that all plants need to thrive. The elements that make up this food can be broken down into three categories: macro, secondary, and micro nutrients. Usually, nature provides all the necessary components for this category, as the earths soil is made from nutrient rich mixes of decomposing leaves and organic matter. In most indoor and greenhouse scenarios, rapidly growing plants will quickly use all available nutrients, especially in Hydroponics, where 100% of the elements will have to be added to the water. Here is a list of each Marco and Micro element and its role in photosynthesis so that you can better understand why they are all so important.


Macro Nutrients

  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Nitrogen
    Nitrogen is the building block for plant proteins and also the formation of amino acids. It is essential for cell division within the plant, which is of course extremely important for fast growing plants. Nitrogen is a mobile element and deficiencies are easily spotted from chlorotic or yellowing older leaves.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Phosphorus
    Phosphorus (or Phosphate) is responsible for early development of roots. It is involved in multiple activities such as cell division, energy storage and transfer, respiration, and photosynthesis. Deficiencies can be very difficult to diagnose, but can be similar in appearance to a Nitrogen deficiency.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Potassium
    Potassium (or Potash) is critical for the formation of fruits and flowers is vital for the quality of the finished product. It aids in immune responses such as temperature hardiness and disease and pest resistance. Deficiencies can lead to increased chances of pest invasions and/or disease and lessen the plants resistance to hot or cold conditions.

Secondary Nutrients

  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Calcium
    Calcium is used in both photosynthesis and in the plants structure. It acts as a regulator to the transport of other nutrients and aids in cell division and formation. It is critical for the activation of certain plant enzymes. Deficiencies include stunned growth and poor fruit set.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Magnesium
    Magnesium is a key element of chlorophyll production and is a activator to several plant enzymes. It is critical for early fruit and flower onset, and regulates the uniformity of a plants maturation process. Magnesium is very mobile in plants, so deficiencies usually show in older leaves, but rapidly move into younger leaves as it progresses.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Sulfur
    Sulfur is a structural component of some amino acids and vitamins and is essential in the manufacturing of chloroplasts. Being that Sulphur is a mobile element, deficiencies usually effect older leaves first and can include yellowing of leaves and stunted growth.


Micro Nutrients

  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Boron

    Boron- Essential for cell wall formation. Promotes maturity.

  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - CopperCobalt-Copper- Major role in reproductive processes and photosynthesis. Improves flavor and color.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Iron

    Iron- Vital in formation of chlorophyll. Carries oxygen through the plant.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Manganese

    Manganese- Preforms role in enzyme systems and increases availability of P and Ca.
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Molybdenum
    Molybdenum- Reduces nitrates to ammonium in plant
  • Lotus Premium Powdered Hydroponic Plant Nutrients - Zinc

    Zinc- Necessary for chlorophyll, carbohydrate and starch formation.
