What is the difference between nutrients and additives?

Nutrients and additives both play important roles in plant care, but they serve different purposes. Nutrients provide the essential 12 minerals that plants need to grow strong and healthy, offering a complete and balanced nutrition profile. On the other hand, additives are designed to give your plants that extra boost during specific stages of growth. Think of them as supplements – while nutrients provide the core building blocks, additives enhance particular plant processes, such as strengthening roots, promoting flowering, or improving resilience. Additives serve as supplements to your base nutrient solution. They enhance specific plant processes like root development, flowering, and stress resistance. Products like GT Silica, Rootzone, and Super PK help boost plant growth during critical stages.
