The bioactive compounds in seaweed extracts offer plants myriad benefits such as increased nutrient uptake, elevated environmental stress tolerance, protection from pathogens, improved growth response, and enhanced fruit and flower development. Contrary to popular belief, pure seaweed extracts are not fertilisers because they actually contain very low quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Seaweed is often misreported as a good source of trace elements. However, it's the bioactive compounds in seaweed that are responsible for its growth-enhancing effects.
 
Key bioactive compounds include:
Phytohormones
These plant hormones coordinate cellular activities, leading to improved growth characteristics like increased shoot and root growth, flower numbers, fruit and bud set, increased chlorophyll content, and yield increase. Cytokinins, auxins, and gibberellins are some of the major phytohormone components in seaweed extracts.
Polysaccharides
These compounds in seaweed extracts can enhance plant resistance to a wide range of stressors, including biotic factors like pests and disease. Alginic acid, a polysaccharide found in seaweed, can induce changes in gene regulation with key implications for plant defence mechanisms. Other polysaccharides found in seaweed include laminarin, fucoidan, and mannitol.
Betaines
Found in seaweed, these modified amino acids help protect the plant against environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress.
 
How to Use flourish
Unlike traditional seaweed extracts, flourish is clean and pure enough for use in all growing situations, from organic living soil to hydroponic reservoirs. Through our proprietary processing technique, we've created a unique, ultra-purified extract. Experience a clean, fully soluble, and highly stable seaweed extract that remains fresh in your hydroponic system for weeks - no fouling, no blockages, just steady support for your plants—even in the most demanding growing conditions.
 
Root Feed Apply 0.25-0.5ml per litre with every watering.  Can be applied as a stand-alone feed or mixed with other nutrients and additives as part of your regular nutrient program. It is tank stable and highly compatible with other products. As a root feed, flourish is suitable for use in all growth stages. It works great as a seed soak, cube soak, and all-round propagation aid, providing young plants and seedlings with a bioactive boost when they need it most. Continue to use flourish when transplanting into a fresh substrate to help your plants cope with transplant shock and encourage explosive root growth. Once you have repotted, continue using flourish throughout the vegetative and flowering growth phases. You can stop using flourish as a root feed one or two weeks before harvest.
 
Foliar FeedSpray 10ml per litre every 10-14 days. Works excellently as a foliar spray, particularly during key growth stages such as on new clones to promote roots, at transplant to avoid shock, during transitional growth stages between vegetative and fruiting/flower, and to protect from environmental stress. Spray on a regular 10-14 day regime.  As a foliar feed, flourish can be used throughout propagation and vegetative growth. If you're growing fruiting plants, flourish can be sprayed throughout the cycle right up to harvest. For flowering plants, stop foliar sprays once the flowers have started to form.
 
Ideal for High Intensity Cultivation Environments - Growing with LEDs? flourish is your go-to solution to overcome the challenges of higher air temperatures, faster wet/dry cycles, and intense LED lighting. Thrive through every growth stage, from seedling to harvest, and enjoy a garden that truly wins, not just making it to the finish line.
Ecothrive has created the industry’s most stable and fully soluble seaweed extract, complete with a perfectly balanced pH. This means that you can add flourish to your water or nutrient mixes without worrying about compatibility issues. Whether for foliar applications, hydro systems, organic soil, or coco coir, flourish is the ultimate natural plant biostimulant and stress-reliever.
