The PPF Scheme has been designed to help growers achieve their maximum yields while keeping costs down. This is achieved through the use of a variety of different techniques that are applied throughout the entire growing cycle. These include:
• A unique feeding schedule that allows your plants to receive the correct amount of nutrients at the right time.
• An exclusive nutrient mix that contains only the best quality ingredients.
• A unique application method that ensures optimum coverage of the root zone.
• A unique irrigation system that delivers water directly to the roots.
• A unique harvest technique that maximises yield potential.
• A unique drying method that minimises moisture loss.
• A unique packaging system that protects the product from damage.
• A unique storage facility that keeps the product fresh for longer.
• A unique labelling system that helps customers identify the product they want.
1. PPF Scheme Details
The PPF scheme has been designed to provide growers with the best possible opportunity to achieve their desired results from their crops. This includes providing them with the right nutrients at the right time to ensure they get the best yields possible.
2. Nutrients
The first thing that needs to be considered are the nutrients that need to be provided to the plants. These include N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphate-potassium) fertilizers. Depending on the type of fertilizer used, the amount of each nutrient can vary. A general guideline would be to use 1kg of N per square meter of canopy area, 0.5kg of P per square meter of canopy and 1kg of K per square meter of canopy.
3. Timing
Timing is another factor that should be considered when choosing your nutrients. There are two types of nutrients that can be applied – those that are applied at the beginning of flowering and those that are applied at later stages of flowering. The former are called pre-flowering nutrients and are usually applied around 2 weeks before flowering begins. The latter are called post-flowering nutrients and they are normally applied between 5 days after flowering and 10 days after flowering.
The PPF Scheme has been designed to provide growers with a flexible approach to their cannabis horticulture operation. It can be used in conjunction with other systems that are already being employed to supply your crops with water, light and nutrients.
In order to maximize the benefits of this system, we have created three different plans; each providing different levels of coverage over your crops.
• Plan 1 - Maximum Coverage
• Plan 2 - Medium Coverage
• Plan 3 - Minimum Coverage
Each plan includes a range of features depending on the level of cover you require. These include:
Protein-rich Fertilizer (PPF) is a concentrated protein supplement that can be used directly into your garden bed or added directly to the water supply. PPF contains only certified organic ingredients including fish meal, blood meal, bone meal, and feather meal. This product does not contain any synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. PPF is designed to help meet the nutritional needs of your high intensity vegetable and flower crops while promoting healthy root systems. With its superior balanced nutrition and high quality, PPF is an excellent choice for growers looking to optimize their yields, increase vitality, and improve the health of their soils.
The PPF formula includes four different types of Nitrogen; Fish Meal, Blood Meal, Bone Meal and Feather Meal. These are the best choices for Nitrogen sources due to their long lasting effect and minimal impact on the environment.
Fish meal is rich in both soluble and insoluble forms of Nitrogen. Soluble Nitrogen is often lost through leaching, and therefore is rarely available for plant roots. Insoluble Nitrogen remains locked in the soil matrix where it is stable for longer periods of time, and provides a steady release of Nitrogen over several months.
Blood meal is composed primarily of Hemoglobin, and has a higher percentage of Nitrogen than other Nitrogen supplements. Blood meal also has a strong Nfixing capacity, meaning it helps bind together small amounts of Nitrogen in the soil. Because of this, Blood meal is a good choice for Nitrogen applications where slow releases of Nitrogen are preferred.
Bone meal is high in calcium and phosphate. Calcium promotes the formation of active enzymes, and phosphorous is needed to produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). Both of these elements are needed for the production of adenosine diphosphate, a chemical necessary for creating energy. A lack of either element leads to stunted plants.
Feather meal is composed of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur and various trace minerals. Feather meal is particularly effective at improving the structure of clay soils.
