    SHOGUN: UK's best fertilisers with an emphasis on research

    Discover the genetic potential of your plants! Shogun is an innovative fertiliser manufacturer from Great Britain and one of the TOP 20 favourite brands among growers worldwide. Their unique nutrition for plants of all plant species is one of the latest additions to our assortment. Keep reading if you want detailed information about their products and how to use them.

    SHOGUNcover

    SHOGUN has its own scientific team at its disposal. Their biochemists, led by Dr Callie Seaman, consider practical suggestions from professional growers the basis of their work. All products by SHOGUN, which are used monthly by 87millions of growers from 190 countries, are carefully and independently tested in third-party laboratories to ensure each batch follows their high standards. The outstanding technological advancement and stable, reliable composition of their products can pleasantly surprise growers with their reasonable prices, as you can see HERE.

    SHOGUN fertilisers stand out by their specific composition, which consists of (among others) original bio-stimulants:

    - SmartZen® verifiably increases the yields by up to 8% (compared to nutrition with the same NPK content but without SmartZen®). Incidentally, Shogun has been developing this maximiser for eight years. It increases chlorophyll density and increases the plant's photosynthetic activity. Among other benefits, it also reduces the impact temperature fluctuations in the grow room (or tent) have on the plants. 

    - AquaZen® is a surfactant – a chemical which lowers the surface tension between a liquid and a solid. Without AquaZen®, fertiliser (and nutrients!) fall to the bottom of the substrate with minimal dispersion. The compound ensures they soak into the largest possible area in the growing medium. The result is an effective and economical use of fertiliser - the plants can immediately reach it and absorb more of it!

    Let's introduce this brand in more detail by describing the individual products, including their key features and ingredients. We will start with their modern basic fertilisers (HYDRO, COCO, TERRA) designed for the respective growing methods, complemented perfectly by their unique additives and supplements. 

    - SHOGUN SAMURAI HYDRO: a two-component fertiliser for the VEGETATIVE and FLOWERING phase. This nutrition is ideal for experienced growers who need total control over the feeding regimen. The users also appreciate that several SHOGUN fertilisers for hydroponic systems are available in versions designed for hard and soft water. 

    - SHOGUN SAMURAI COCO: a two-component fertiliser adjusted for coco substrates. It's applicable during the entire growth cycle and combines the advantages of the aforementioned original ingredients - SmartZen and AquaZen.

    - SHOGUN SAMURAI TERRA: this fertiliser for soil and soil substrates also consists of two components - one for growth and one for bloom. The universal TERRA manages both soft and hard water. 

    SHOGUNhydro

    SHOGUN START: helps seedlings and cuttings root quickly and easily. The fertiliser supplies young plants with all the crucial micro and macronutrients in the early stages of development while they're still weak and vulnerable.

    • THE KEY INGREDIENTS
      • Boron and calcium in the ideal ratio
      • SmartZen (see above) - a unique blend of saccharides and compounds with an astonishing impact on the crop's growth
      • Trace elements (micronutrients) which are often neglected but have an extensive impact on the development of young plants
      • Humic and fulvic acids
    • KEY FEATURES
      • Faster germination and root development
      • Increases chlorophyll content, improving photosynthesis
      • Reduces the risk of cutting failure
      • Increases the resistance to pathogens

    SHOGUN KATANA ROOTS: a stimulator which boosts root development, making your plants grow explosively. Excellent for cutting and germinating, this solution creates the most effective mechanism of nutrition absorption a grower can wish for - the natural one.

    • KEY INGREDIENTS
      • Green seaweed extract – a mix of beneficial vitamins (including biotin and thiamine - B12), amino acids and hormones
    • KEY FEATURES
      • Faster germination and development of white roots
      • Rapid vegetative growth in any substrate
      • Active root system and vital crop
      • Creates a complex root system for efficient nutrient absorption
      • Revitalises wilting plants when applied as a foliar spray 

    SHOGUN ZENZYM: This enzymatic fertiliser accelerates the decomposition of dead plant matter and keeps the root system healthy and clean. It releases nutrients in the waste matter back into the soil, where plants can use it again. Zenzym improves plant health while supplying the crop with additional nutrition.

    • KEY INGREDIENTS
      • Enzymes - bio-active organic molecules which essentially work as catalysts (cellulase breaks down cellulose into glucose and other simple sugars, xylanase breaks down cell walls, and ferulic acid improves cell wall strength)
      • KEY FEATURES
        • Simple and fast way to restore substrates before recycling them
        • Improved nutrient absorption
        • Boosts root system growth and development

        SHOGUN GEISHA FOLIAR: a unique product for a lush harvest. Its technologically advanced composition makes it safe to use during the vegetative phase. This foliar spray boosts the plant's metabolism and improves water absorption. Geisha Foliar makes the blooms grow large and fragrant, and makes the fruit tastier. The product is ready to use - it doesn't need dilution or pH adjustments. 

        Once the blooming has kicked off, the DRAGON FORCE efficiently speeds up and boosts the ripening process by providing additional sulphur and nitrogen. At the same time, it increases the production of secondary metabolites and boosts the natural immune system. It also increases the amount of calcium in the flowers and the concentration of copper in the plant tissue.

        If you're looking for a hydroponic stimulator so strong it can be compared to a wrestler, try the SUMO ACTIVE BOOST. The compound can remain stable in the hydroponic tanks for two weeks! Not only does it enhances the natural taste, fragrance and quality of the crop to its full potential, but it doesn't ferment in the tank (at least for two weeks) or clog the tubes. 

         

        • KEY INGREDIENTS
          • Triacontanol (a natural growth stimulant found in plant cuticle waxes and beeswax)
          • Green sea algae
          • Plant hormones
        • KEY FEATURES
          • Stimulates nutrient absorption
          • More effective photosynthesis
          • Increases the sugar, protein, resin and terpene volumes in the crop
