• How does Guard'n'Aid Healthy Root protect plants from root issues?

  Guard'n'Aid Healthy Root is a concentrated preparation of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria specifically designed to promote plant and root health in hydroponic and soil/coir systems.

• What are the benefits of using Guard'n'Aid Healthy Leaf & Bud as a foliar spray?

  Guard'n'Aid Healthy Leaf & Bud is a concentrated preparation of naturally occurring bacteria and nutrients applied as a foliar spray. It's immediately absorbed by the plant to promote vigorous leaf growth and overall plant health. It helps improve crucial calcium absorption, leading to stronger flowers and buds. It can also assist plants in bouncing back from stress caused by environmental factors like temperature fluctuations.

• How does Guard'n'Aid CleanRoom contribute to a healthy grow environment?

  Guard'n'Aid CleanRoom is a powerful, naturally derived cleaner and disinfectant specifically formulated for grow rooms and greenhouses. Based on fermentation extracts, it's designed to sterilise hard surfaces like metal, glass, plastic, and wood.

Always use when plants are absent.

• What are Guard'n'Aid Insect Catchers and the Pest Pistol used for?

  Guard'n'Aid Insect Catchers are yellow sticky traps used as a first line of defence to monitor and identify flying insect pests in your grow room. Their bright colour attracts pests, which then get caught on the adhesive surface. The Guard'n'Aid Pest Pistol (750ml) is a reusable spray bottle, ideal for applying Guard'n'Aid concentrates like the SpiderMite or Thrip solutions, ensuring even and effective coverage of your plants.
