Fruits and Berries come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Having trouble finding the flavor and freshness of a fresh berry at your local grocery store? This complete growers guide for berries will ensure your berries are sweeter than ever.
Berries similar to tomatoes have two stages of growth. A vegetative stage and a flowering or fruiting stage. The nutrients a berry plant needs will be based on the stage of growth you are in. If your berry plant has fruits or flowers, there is no need to use vegetative nutrients.
We have provided a tested and proven nutrient plan for berries during the VEG stage:
SIMPLE RECIPE – Veg
Use each product weekly during the vegetative stage.
Grow Pack A used at 1/2 TSP Per Gal
Grow Pack B used at 1/2 TSP Per Gal

Grow Pack:
Grow Pack has all 3 nitrogen forms listed above, also contains highly pure minerals and natural additives that combine the benefits of both organic and conventional nutrients for the Growth/Vegetative stage. Plant growth like you have never seen before. The right nutrients at the right time using only one product.
“I get better yields and this product is much much cheaper. Best switch I have made in my gardening.”
During the vegetative stage 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.
Flowers will develop on your berry plants over time when they are large enough. These flowers will develop regardless of the lighting cycle you are in.
For example, indoor gardens during a flowering stage will have a 12/12 lighting cycle. Meaning 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. A vegetative stage will have 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness.
You will see these flowers develop in a 18/6 light cycle and a 12/12 light cycle. The main advantage to have a 12/12 light cycle is larger fruit set. The 12/12 lighting triggers the plant to produce fruits and flowers. 18/6 lighting is triggers more vegetative growth, such as leaf and stem development.
These flowers will grow over time into your berries and fruit. To enhance your color, oil production and resin, which is where most of the flavor comes from. lets take another look at some products.

Color, Resin and Oil Production
Here at Kelp4less, we believe the plant knows how to produce more color, resin and oils, it just has to have a well fed balance of nutrients at the right time, which will allow it to increase it’s oil and resin production. Our Grow and Bloom Packs are specifically designed to enhance taste, oils and resin.
Bloom Pack:
Helps stimulate fruit and flower development in all stages of bloom, for an increase in the size and mass of flowers/fruits.
Whether you are in Early Bloom, Mid Bloom or Late Bloom, for best results use all of our Bloom Packs in conjunction with our Cal Mag Plus during your bloom cycle regimen.
“I have used house and garden for years. I changed to the early, mid, and late bloom products and have loved the results.”
