What is the difference between nutrients and fertilisers?

The key difference lies in how easily your plants can access and use the nutrients. GT nutrients are specially formulated to be complete and balanced, providing all 12 essential minerals that plants need to grow strong and healthy. What sets them apart is that the nutrients are in an ionic form, which means they’re immediately available for the plant roots to absorb and use. In contrast, many traditional fertilisers aren’t complete, meaning your plants do not have access to all 12 essential minerals required for healthy plant growth. Additionally, the nutrients in most fertilisers aren’t in an ionic form, so plants depend on specific microbes in the soil to break them down and make them accessible.
