Complete Focus by Growth Technology – 1 Litre

GT is a cult favourite with our Australian plant buddies (for good reason). This indoor plant food is hard to beat. Here’s why…

“Everyone’s always asking me how I’ve grown them so big in such a short period of time! Honestly, the reason is the magic sauce from GT. It’s truly a game-changer.”  @plantsbycallum

6 Reasons Why You Need Complete Focus by Growth Technology

Complete Focus is made by Growth Technology, known in the industry as GT. These are the clever chaps behind world-famous Clonex Rooting Gel. GT specialises in meeting the very high standards of commercial growers (which is where GT started themselves), so they know their stuff. Lucky for us indoor plant hobbyists, GT has created a specialist range for indoor plants. Here are 6 top reasons your plants will be feeling lucky when you choose GT.

#1 Calcium

Calcium is essential, yet most fertilisers don’t include it. Do you go without and risk a deficiency? or supplement separately and cross your fingers you don’t overdose? Cracked, split or curling leaves. Slow, stunted or deformed growth. Buds that fall off before plants flower… all common signs of a calcium deficiency.

Unlike many other essential nutrients (which plants can shift from old to new growth when there’s a deficiency), calcium is not a mobile nutrient. If there’s a deficiency when new growth forms, the damage is done. That new growth may never reach its potential, staying small, cracked, split or deformed, or rot and die early.

With Complete Focus you get everything indoor plants need, one step and done. No guesswork with dolomite or human foods that attract Fungus Gnats or rot. Save your pennies for your plants. No extra supplements are needed. No risk of getting the levels wrong either (as too much calcium can turn soil pH toxic). Complete Focus provides 100 ppm calcium once diluted (based on general maintenance 7.5ml/litre dose).

#2 No urea or clorides

Common in most fertilisers. Not in GT. Boost growth without harming soil or plant health. Outdoors, excess mineral salts can leach away from precious roots. Indoors? Plants can’t escape. Complete Focus uses urea-free nitrogen and chloride-free potassium to give plants the critical nutrients they need, while reducing the risk of fertiliser burn.

#3  Complete

Most fertilisers list NPK only. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Far from all the nutrients a plant needs, yet enough for food to claim to be ‘complete’. Check the label. GT is different. Not just 3, but all 12 essential nutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper and molybdenum.

#4 Balanced

Complete Focus is both complete and balanced, with all 12 essential nutrients in the right ratio to balance the needs of both foliage and flowering indoor plants.

#5 pH buffered

Many of our favourite indoor plants come from warm, humid habitats where soil pH is naturally more acidic. Soil pH matters. Too acidic and some nutrients become toxic while others like calcium get ‘locked up’ in the soil. Too alkaline and critical nutrients like phosphorus become unavailable. Complete Focus is pH buffered to 6 once diluted, slightly acidic, right where tropical-loving indoor plants prefer, and where nutrients become ideally available, helping avoid both deficiencies and toxic levels.

#6 Chelated minerals

Pronounced ‘key-lay-ted’ (think of a key unlocking a door). Chelating minerals ‘unlocks’ the 5 essential metal nutrients: iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc and copper. Metal nutrients can react in soil, locking them up in  a solid form plants can’t use. Chelation adds organic molecules to protect these precious metals, keeping them unlocked, water-soluble and available to your plants. All metal nutrients in Complete Focus are chelated.

Directions for Use

Every GT order comes with one FREE 3ml pipette to make the right dose easy. Extra pipettes can be ordered here.

One 1 litre bottle makes up to 200 litres. The 250ml bottle makes over 80 litres.

How much Complete Focus do you need?

Choose your dose to match your plant’s needs…

Mixed jungle: Use the General Maintenance dose of 7.5mls per 1 litre of water.

Light feeders / slow growers: Dilute 5mls (1 teaspoon) per 1 litre water.

Heavy feeders / fast growers: Dilute 10mls (2 teaspoons) per 1 litre water.

What plants is Complete Focus for?

Formulated for a mixed indoor jungle of both foliage and flowering plants, including epiphytes such as Hoya and Orchids, Peace Lily, Begonia, African Violets, Pothos, Peperomia, Monstera and Philodendron.

How often should you feed Complete Focus?

Little and often. To avoid irreversible deficiencies in immobile nutrients (such as calcium), it’s recommended to fertilise with Complete Focus every time you water.
