Benefits of Green Lightning™ water
Healthier plants equates to healthier food.
In order to understand the benefits of
Green Lightning™ water, you must first understand all of the detrimental aspects associated with synthetic nitrate fertilizers.
​
-
Traditional synthetic nitrate fertilizers such as ammonium-nitrate, urea, sodium nitrate and others are chemically considered salt compounds (aka: nitrate salts). Nitrate salts increase the electrical conductivity of the soil they are applied to.
-
Nitrate salts require high levels of soil fertility to convert the salt compounds into simple nitrate which can be easily assimilated by the crop.
-
Nitrate salts are a major contributor to reduced soil fertility.
-
Excessive levels of nitrate salt inhibits water uptake by creating unfavorable osmotic pressure at the root.
-
The average nitrogen uptake efficiency when using nitrate salts is about 15% to 18%.
-
Nitrate salts can burn leaves, flower and fruit when applied using foliar methods.
-
Nitrate salts provides very few benefits when used in hydroponics.
-
Nitrate produced using the Green Lightning™ system will not harm soil fertility, it will improve hydration of irrigation water, will feature a nearly 100% uptake efficiency, is ideal for use with foliar application, and is the perfect choice for hydroponics and all soil based grows.
-
Because of the massive improvement in nitrogen uptake efficiency, overall nitrogen use can be reduced from 50% to 90%.
Will Green Lightning™ water improve plant health?
-
Nitrate is the perfect form of nitrogen for all types of plants from algae to redwood trees.
-
Depending on the application method chosen, positive results can be seen in as little as 24 hours.
-
When correctly applied to fruit and vegetable crops via foliar means, positive results are rapidly and visually seen in leaf and fruit coloration. This is generally associated with greatly increased nitrogen content within the leaves and fruit, elevated nitrogen leads to increased photosynthesis activity along with protein and sugar levels. The effects of using Green Lightning™ water can be measured using a simple brix refractometer to observe sugar levels.
-
Healthy crops produce more sugar.
-
Healthy crops exhibiting elevated leaf and fruit sugar content are able to resist detrimental insect, fungal, bacterial and viral issues much more effectively than their counterparts.
