RIPEN LATE FLOWERING SOLUTION FROM GENERAL HYDROPONICS
RIPEN is a comprehensive plant nutrient used during th elate floweing stage of the plant. It is specifically designed to speed up and enhance the ripening process, while increasing the content in active principles of medicinal aromatic and culinary plants.
This type of formulation is referrred to, in the greenhouse industry, as a 'forcing solution'.
Ripen is a mix of refined mineral salts and buffers, formulated by our laboratories with the greatest precision. At this stage indeed, accuracy is of hte utmost importance: the plant at the end of its life, is generally more fragile and the assimilation is greatly reduced when compared with the vegetative phase.

Ripen, by General Hydroponics, is a specific tool to speed up the flowering process. Ripen basically slowly stresses the plant thus 'forcing' it to speed it's ripening process in an effort to spread it's genes. This is particularly useful when you have to finish a crop in hurry. E.g. If you have a mite infestation or some other problem. You can use Ripen in either hydroponics & soil and you use it on it's own at the rate of 4-5ml/litre. It is only possible to use Ripen for 2 weeks maximum prior to desired harvesting date. Ripen has also been found to be beneficial in producing additional essential oils in plants.
