Final Part 10 lt. Terra Aquatica

Ripen is a unique product in our industry. It is neither an additive nor a stimulator. It contains everything necessary for the plant to complete its flowering or fruiting cycle...and nothing more. Ripen is a complete fertilizer for the end of the flowering cycle. It was specifically formulated to accelerate ripening, as well as to improve the content of active ingredients. It is composed of a mixture of mineral salts and buffers meticulously measured by our laboratories. At this growth stage, precision is indeed of the utmost importance because the plant, at the end of its life, is very often weakened, and its assimilation capacity is much lower than its assimilation capacity during the growth phase. Ripen acts on different levels: It gives the plant a strong signal that it is reaching the end of its life. It reacts with accelerated flowering and fruiting, in an effort to reproduce before it disappears. It activates the plant's defenses and, consequently, its active ingredients. It provides the plant with all the mineral ions for this final reproductive effort. In case of nitrate and trace element accumulation by the plant, it helps metabolize these residues, improving the flavor of the harvest. This fertilizer has several applications: Generally, it promotes faster ripening. It also allows for a quick finish of a harvest before it spoils due to cold or humidity. In a greenhouse or indoors, it helps harmonize the end-of-cycle and the ripening of later-maturing plants. In cases of severe pathogen or insect attacks, it accelerates the cycle and allows for a harvest before the plants are destroyed. Finally, it promotes an increase in the active ingredient content of medicinal, aromatic, and culinary plants.
