Produce award-winning flowers with Simply Professional Vegetation & Bloom Formulas. SimPro is fortified with microbes, seaweed, silica, amino acids, fulvic acid, yucca, and organic and mineral nutrients to help your plants thrive.
The microbes are aerobic and will thrive in quality grow media and aerated reservoirs. Microbes will quickly germinate; Bacillus will germinate within 24 hrs, fungi will germinate sooner. Among numerous benefits Microbe colonization will prevent unwanted reservoir algae and media pathogens.
Use both our Vegetation Formula and Bloom Formula during the early stages of plant development to promote root growth and our Bloom Formula at full strength during flower to optimize the budding potential of your plants.
Check out our simple week-by-week guide to feeding your plants below.

How often should you water?
Water when the top of your grow media shows signs of drying out. Don’t let plants run out of water, although don’t overwater; make sure roots get access to plenty of air.
If the growing medium is waterlogged and looks super wet, the roots likely aren’t getting enough oxygen for the fastest growth. With over-moist soil, you should give less water at a time or water less often.
How much SimPro should you use?
Gradually increase the strength of your feedings. Don’t overdo it. SimPro Formula is strong; a full strength mix of 10 grams per gallon will produce large dense flowers.
Aeration of a SimPro solution before watering will not enhance its performance. SimPro mixed in RO water will have a pH <6.0; Aeration will reduce CO2 and increase O2 in solution causing the pH to increase over time. Use phosphoric acid to reduce the pH also use phosphoric acid to reduce the pH in aerated hydroponic and deep water culture (dwc) reservoirs. If the solution is not aerated use within 24hrs. Note: seaweed will eventually flocculate out of solution, this is normal and will not affect the overall performance of SimPro
The number one rule for watering coco is that you should always provide enough nutrient solution to each plant to produce 10-20% run-off. Runoff is the excess water that exits the bottom of the grow container when you water plants. Run-off carries away the excess nutrients and allows you to maintain a consistent root zone EC. Heavy feeding will require runoff.
Constant heavy feeding without runoff will cause problems. Water with a mild nutrient solution (EC 0.6 / 300 ppm) anytime you suspect a nutrient issue.
