Description
Profs – Leaves was developed to support crops in the initial phase, when plants are still young, rapidly building cell mass, and demanding a balanced and quickly available mineral supply. Leaves provides the essential elements that are absorbed in the highest quantities during weeks 1 to 3. It stimulates vigorous leaf growth, enhances chlorophyll formation, and supports the fundamental processes of energy metabolism and cell expansion.
Leaves is part of the Pro Powder line by Profs — a complete four-part nutrition system that includes all essential minerals required for each phase of cultivation. While other formulations focus on rooting, flowering, or internal balance, Leaves is specifically designed for above-ground vegetative development in the early growth stage.
The product is fully water-soluble and comes in powdered form, making it easy to dose, transport, and mix into any irrigation system. Leaves is suitable for use in substrate cultivation, hydroponics, and traditional soil-based growing. Thanks to its high purity, it leaves no residues in pipes, drippers, or filters.
In practice, the use of Leaves leads to deep green leaf color, faster outgrowth of new shoots, and a more vigorous overall crop structure. Thanks to the immediate availability of the active ingredients, the effect is rapid and does not burden the root environment.
During the first weeks of cultivation, the demand for nitrogen and other quickly absorbed elements is relatively high. Leaves meets this need with a composition tailored to the physiological uptake capacity of young plants. Nutrient uptake occurs via the root system and — in the case of foliar application — also through stomata.
Growers can choose to increase the standard feeding dose by 5–15% during this phase to achieve a growth boost. This extra impulse can result in accelerated leaf development and a better foundation for later growth stages. This boost is especially recommended under suboptimal light conditions or when crops are slow to start.
Leaves can be used on its own in cases of specific leaf development issues, but its full power is realized when combined with the other products in the Pro Powder line: Roots (for root development), Balance (for internal stability and distribution), and Flowers (for generative support). Together, these four products form a complete program that allows for precise control of the entire cultivation process — from start to harvest.
The product is easy to mix and compatible with other inputs, as long as strong acids or bases are avoided. Leaves can be applied in any irrigation system, either continuously or in pulses, depending on the chosen feeding schedule. It can also be used in combination with biological preparations or stimulants, as long as they do not react with the salts in the formulation.
Leaves is typically used from day 1 through week 3, with a standard dosage of 10 to 15 grams per 100 liters of water. The exact dosage may vary depending on crop type, climate, substrate, and lighting regime. Thanks to its concentrated form, the product is economical to use; a single sachet provides nutrients for hundreds of liters of nutrient solution.
Using Leaves offers advantages for building a robust leaf canopy, increasing photosynthesis activity, and contributing to a uniform start to the crop. Because the product is part of a line that supports every phase of cultivation, it ensures consistency in growth, uptake, and final quality. This synergistic approach is essential for growers aiming for maximum yield and uniformity.
Leaves is free from chelates, synthetic carriers, or non-soluble additives. This makes it safe to use, leaves no deposits, and is also suitable for organic or closed growing systems where residues may be problematic. The formulation is stable in solution and does not negatively affect pH or EC within the recommended dosages.
