Humboldt Nutrients Honey Organic ES | 0.45-0.25-1.8 | 1 Quart

Humboldt Honey ES Is Molasses Plus Clay And Volcanic Ash

Volcanic ash and montmorillonite clay are not what you expect on a carbohydrate label. Humboldt Honey ES carries both, alongside pure cane molasses, yucca extract, seaplant extract and quillaja saponaria. The guaranteed analysis is 0.45-0.25-1.8, so the potash is the only figure with real weight behind it. ES stands for Extra Strength. What that gets you is a wider ingredient list than a straight molasses product, not a bigger NPK.

Honey ES Rates For Soil, Reservoir And Foliar

Soil takes one to two teaspoons per gallon of water, applied every one to two weeks rather than at every feed. A recirculating reservoir takes one teaspoon per gallon, with the solution changed weekly. Foliar is one teaspoon, or 5 millilitres, per gallon of finished spray. Those three rates are the whole instruction set. One honest note on what this is. At 0.45-0.25-1.8 the nutrient contribution is small by design. The sugars and the yucca are feeding microbes and improving wetting, and the clay is a soil amending ingredient rather than plant food.

Key Features

• 0.45 - 0.25 - 1.8 guaranteed analysis: Potash-led and light overall, so it sits alongside a full feed without shifting the numbers much.
• Pure cane molasses as the carbohydrate: Named first on the derived-from statement rather than described vaguely as a sugar blend.
• Volcanic ash and montmorillonite clay: Two mineral inputs you rarely see on a carbohydrate label, with the clay declared as a soil amending ingredient.
• Yucca extract and quillaja saponaria: Both natural saponins, which is what improves how a solution wets and moves through a medium.
• Three published rates: Soil, recirculating reservoir and foliar each have their own figure instead of one number for everything.
• Applied every one to two weeks in soil: Not an every-watering additive, which makes a quart last longer than the size suggests.
