PLAGRON VITA RACE 1 LITRE

Description

PLAGRON VITA RACE 1 LITRE is Plagron’s foliar spray nutrient designed to deliver fast-acting iron, magnesium, and essential trace elements directly through the leaf surface — bypassing the root zone entirely for the fastest possible correction of deficiency symptoms. We have been recommending Plagron Vita Race to UK growers since 2017 because foliar nutrition is one of the most underused tools in the grow room, offering a response speed that root-zone feeding simply cannot match when a deficiency is visibly progressing.

Why Foliar Feeding Is the Fastest Route to Deficiency Correction

When a plant shows iron or magnesium deficiency — interveinal chlorosis, pale new growth, yellowing that progresses from the tips inward — the cause is often not a genuine absence of the mineral from the nutrient solution but a temporary disruption to root uptake. pH spikes, root zone waterlogging, sudden temperature drops, or transplant stress can all create short-term lockout that leaves plenty of mineral in the solution but none reaching the plant. Foliar application of Vita Race delivers chelated iron, magnesium, and zinc directly to the leaf cells through the stomata and cuticle, restoring chlorophyll production and photosynthesis within 24–48 hours rather than the three to five days a corrective root drench requires to take effect and become visible in new growth.

Application Protocol for Vita Race

Dilute Vita Race at 2ml per litre of clean water and apply as a fine mist to both leaf surfaces — the underside of leaves has more stomata and absorbs foliar sprays more efficiently than the upper surface. Always apply during the lights-off period or under low light intensity to prevent concentrated droplets refracting light and causing burn spots on the leaf surface. Apply two to three times over one week for acute deficiency correction, then return to root-zone nutrition once the cause of the initial deficiency has been diagnosed and resolved. Do not apply Vita Race during flowering — foliar sprays to flower tissue risk disease and quality issues.

Keep Plagron Vita Race 1 Litre alongside CANNA Mono Magnesium and CANNA Mono Calcium as a fast-response deficiency correction kit for any grow room situation that requires immediate nutritional intervention.
