Beets are very easy to produce if you have the right nutrients provided at the right time. Think of it this way, does a growing child perform well with a healthy diet and exercise. Light and photosynthesis are the exercise for the plant and we will walk you through the nutrients.
Beets DO NOT fruit or flower during the growing season, which makes the fertilization process very easy by supplementing/amending the soil before planting.
When growing beets the goal is not to produce vegetation but to increase bulb size. Lets discuss a couple ways to accomplish this task when using our nutrients.
The nutrients a beet plant needs can be supplemented by amending the soil with our Soil Cut Starter Pack. The Soil Cut is a blend of 14 of our soil amendments and enhancers known to produce large bulbs on beets. Below are a few recipes and mixing rates known and proven to produce large beets.

During the grow process for a beet plant is the best time to foliar spray. A foliar spray is applying nutrients to your leaves and stems by spraying your plant instead of root drenching to apply nutrients.
Foliar sprays are 8-20 times more effective when applying nutrients. You can choose what product you want to foliar spray. Some great foliar spray products are listed below. Our most popular foliar spray is Extreme Blend.
