Cutting Edge Additives

 

The CES additives line-up

Plant AMP, Uncle John’s Blend & MAG-Amped, are the “icing on the cake” of the CES 6-part base line-up. Comprised of high quality chelated and complexed elements, the CES additives are extremely soluble for plant uptake, both through the roots and through foliar applications. The low molecular weight of the inputs makes for “on-demand” availability, taking a plant’s ability to optimize it’s overall growth to the next level. Please note that the additives are more sensitive to shelf-life than the 3-part, stored properly out of direct light and extreme temperatures, we expect to see a 8-10 month shelf life on these products.

Plant Amped

Plant Amp

Plant AMP is a chelated Calcium product that also contains a proprietary organic plant “stimulating” ingredient. Calcium is the basis of cell wall development in a plant and the chelated Calcium in Plant AMP is extremely soluble, providing an easily utilized source of Calcium. Plant AMP is 100% organic and can be used throughout the entire growth cycle to optimize a plants growth. Plant AMP is also a fantastic foliar spray, due to it’s low molecular weight for uptake, but also because it is very “clean” leaving no heavy build-up or residue on the plant. Plant AMP can also be used in conjunction with our 2 other additives for custom foliar applications.

There is a nuance of Plant AMP that is sure to cause some questions from first time users regarding pH drops after adding it to a reservoir. Plant AMP is derived from organic acids, which will cause a pH drop to around 4 right after mixing, this is essentially a “false” reading. This drop is not caused by a corrosive, strong-bonded acid such as Phosphoric Acid, and will rise on it’s own after 24 hours or so as it breaks down. It is perfectly okay to water with the fertilizer solution immediately after mixing, it will not harm the plant material or negatively interact with the availability of the other fertilizer elements. If a gardener is starting with a low pH source water (typical of R/O water), we recommend adjusting to 7 before adding any fertilizers to the reservoir.

Uncle John's Blend

Uncle John’s Blend

Uncle John’s Blend (UJB), is a complexed Potassium mixture that is used primarily to enhance a plant’s metabolic rate, especially for flowering plants during the blooming stage. Potassium is a major component in photosynthetic processes, including the production of ATP (plant sugars) and the transfer of those sugars throughout the plant tissue. The low molecular weight of UJB makes it very available to the plant for immediate use, as well as making a very “clean” foliar spray that will not leave heavy built-up or residue on the plant tissue. UJB can also be used in conjunction with our 2 other additives for custom foliar applications.

UJB can be used throughout the entire growth cycle, but definitely is more critical in the flowering stages of a plant’s life to maintain energy levels and maximize plant growth. A plant is essentially “dying” as it goes to fruit or seed, adding UJB helps to maintain the metabolic rate of plants that are in some cases not producing as much ATP towards the end of its blooming/fruiting stage.

Mag Amped

Mag-Amped

Mag-Amped is a pure Magnesium product, combined with an organic surfactant that helps with uptake and overall solubility. Magnesium is essential for chlorophyl production in plants, in turn chlorophyl is the component in photosynthesis, essentially starting the process through collection of light energy. Mag-Amped is a low molecular weight chelate of Magnesium and as such is very easily absorbed by plants. Mag-Amped is fantastic as a foliar spray, having the same low molecular weight and “clean” properties as our other additives. Mag-Amped can also be used in conjunction with our 2 other additives for custom foliar applications.

The reason we separated our Magnesium from our Calcium additive is because plants don’t always need extra Magnesium, conversely they will take up about as much Calcium that you throw at them. Mag-Amped is specially formulated for plants that demand more Magnesium, as well as for situations where the light intensity isn’t optimal, for example; filtered light in greenhouses, plants in shadier areas, fog or smoke from forest fires, or cases where and indoor gardener has to shut down several lights due to a summer heat wave, or power outages.

Sugaree

Sugaree / Sour-Dee

Sugaree and Sour-Dee provide and organic carbohydrate and electrolyte source to stimulate amino acid production and adds a carbohydrate (sugar) source at the end of the flowering season. The proprietary formulation of Sugaree and Sour-Dee contain a low molecular weight sugar source with an emulsion of trace minerals. This combination acts as a compensator as lowering light levels at the end of flowering precipitate drops in photosynthetic rate and ATP (plant sugar) production. These additional carbohydrates provide the plant with the energy it requires to fuel respiration that drives fruit set. Sugaree and Sour-Dee’s specially designed organic formulation provides increases in fruit set, retention, and sugar production.

 

Hydroponic Nutrients

 

CES 3-Part Overview

CES developed our base 3-part system, micro, grow & bloom, to be the cleanest and highest quality mineral-based fertilizer system available. Handmade by our (extended) family business, we take no shortcuts in assuring that we offer a product line that is reasonably priced, without sacrificing the quality of the products or the growth potential of plants. We take pride in the fact that our products contain no artificial hormones or growth regulators and we never add any dyes to our recipes. The CES line was made to be simple and easy to use for beginner gardeners, while also being adaptable for advanced gardening techniques. The 3-PART is developed for use across a wide spectrum of water sources, as well as growing techniques from Deep Water Culture to good old fashioned soil. CES 3-Part is the base to healthy and happy plants.

Micro 6-0-0

Micro 6-0-0

CES Micro is the foundation of the CES mineral-based line. Micro is to be used in conjunction with the grow and/or bloom, in order to achieve a solid fertilizer base which can be used on it’s own, or built on with CES additives to achieve maximum growth. Micro is comprised of a high quality Nitrogen and Calcium base, fortified with micro nutrients. Micro is to be used throughout the entire growth cycle of a plant, regardless of vegetative or flowering cycles. Micro is highly concentrated and needs to be diluted and mixed first, before adding any other components of the CES system, failure to do so can cause lock-out with other ingredients.

Grow 2-1-6

Grow 2-1-6

CES Grow is another component of the CES base 3-part. To be used in the vegetative stage, grow adds more Nitrogen for growth, and Potassium to enhance the plant’s photosynthetic rate and energy transfer throughout the plant. Grow is used only in the vegetative stage and is completely omitted during the blooming stage.

Bloom 0-6-5

Bloom 0-6-5

CES Bloom is the second component of the base three part blooming formula, to be used in conjunction with the micro. Bloom is a Phosphorus heavy formula for enhancing flower production, as well as to encourage a plant to shift it’s hormonal signals from vegetative to flowering. Bloom also contains Potassium to enhance the plant’s photosynthetic rate and energy transfer throughout the plant. Bloom also contains lesser amounts of Magnesium and Sulfur, to help satisfy a plant’s needs. Bloom is also added to our vegetative usage guides, in conjunction with the micro and grow.

 

 

 

Cutting Edge Humtea

 

 

Humtea

Humtea

Humtea was the first beneficial tea to hit the market over 10 years ago. Humtea is not a fertilizer, rather a specialized blend of, trace minerals, humic compounds, sea kelp and earth worm castings. Once brewed, these make a very clean and effective, “tea” that functions as a living top soil.

Humtea can be used during all stages of plant growth, transplant through flowering and fruiting, for soil and hydroponics.

There is no substitute for the original activly aerated Humtea. Avialable nation wide check our store locator for retailers in your area.

Cutting Edge offers two unique systems for brewing Humtea. We offer a 15 gallon brewer and a 60 gallon brewer. We also have the brew ball, versitile and affordable, the brew ball can make 5 gallons of tea. It can also be used directly in re-circulating systems for two nutrient changes.

Sonoma Gold


Sonoma Gold

Sonoma Gold

Sonoma Gold Grow and Bloom are all-purpose organic-based fertilizer created for use in amended soil gardens. Sonoma Gold is formulated for all on demand fertilizer needs during the crop cycle. Sonoma Gold is user friendly, as it flows easily through irrigation systems is 100% biodegradable and hand crafted in small batches. Don’t be misled by inflated (N) Nitrogen numbers as they can be misleading and rely on insoluble forms of Nitrogen (ie.,Goo).

Sonoma Gold Grow and Bloom utilize a renewable sources of organic-based (N) Nitrogen, derived from hydrolyzed keratins and seed proteins, that are readily available to the plant at any time. For best results, use a well aerated organic-based growing medium amended with a source of time released (N) Nitrogen, such as manure based compost. We source Pacific Northwest fish to provide a local, renewable form of Calcium, Phosphorus and micro-nutrients. Our proprietary Microbial chelation process insures micro-nutrient availability and soil retention. Specially formulated microbial chelates assist in crucial, on time fruit development and yield.

Sonoma Gold

Solar Gaia

Solar Gaia is an organic-based formulation of Humic compounds, utilized to facilitate fertilizer uptake, especially lower levels of Nitrogen in organic fertilizers. Solar Gaia is intended for use throughout the vegetative stage, and early flowering stage of growth. Used in conjunction with the Sonoma Gold line Solar Gaia insures that every bit of fertilizer is available for uptake by plants.

G-Rex

G-Rex

G-Rex – custom blended in Northern California, never dried or dehydrated!

G-Rex is formulated to be used throughout the entire growth cycle. It will continue to work from the rooted cutting stage all the way until harvest. When making cuttings, add G-Rex as soon as callus forms at the base of the cutting. For example, when you set up a tray of rockwool or oasis cubes water with Hum-tea, wait seven days and then water in G-Rex. After transplant continue to use G-Rex in your system at the recommended rate through harvest.

G-Rex is compatible with any fertilizer product, however G-Rex is developed for use with Cutting Edge Solutions Fertilizers.

G-Rex Application and Usage
  • Recirculating hydroponic systems: Mix 3-5 ml per gallon of water.

    5/5

    Been growing for 15 years now maybe a bit more, used every product under the sun, Cutting Edge Solutions is the only line of products i have been completely satisfied with….its really good stuff, i really like the micro/bloom and Uncle John’s Blend works nicely in hydrosystems. Also their products micro/bloom & a tad bit of cal-mag give nice results all year round, whether veg or flower. Personally i would start UJB around week 3 or 4 and end week 2 b4 the flush. I’ve noticed there is a boost in flavor/smell when using IMO. its kinda pricy but worth the cost. Sometimes you gotta spend a lil’ more to make ALOT more (;

    5/5

    I saw this nutrient at a local hydro store and being from Sonoma County I had to try out their Sonoma Gold. I love the fact that it’s organic and has a well balanced pH level/NPK ratio. I did an experiment this year on my Blackberry plants with Earth Juice & CES and found that in conjunction with Solar Gaia & Plant Amp; Cutting Edge was able to provide juicier dense berries. I have a friend trying their 3-part indoors and he loves it!
