Suståne 16•4•8 Natural Base + Controlled Release
Description

Suståne 16-4-8 was developed as a combination fertilizer to provide with a time released 4-1-2 nutrient package blended with a 50% Suståne humus rich, premium natural base. Suståne 16-4-8 is perfect for the production of cannabis grown outdoors, greenhouses, or in container blends.  

Suståne 16-4-8 Nursery Fertilizer is available in both 180-day and 120-day release profiles to meet the needs of your production cycle. Suståne 16-4-8 fertilizer is derived from aerobically composted turkey litter, polymer coated urea, polymer coated MAP, and polymer coated potassium nitrate.

Professional Grade 

Suståne products are derived from biologically stable humus-rich compost and contain both water soluble nitrogen (WSN) and slow release nitrogen (SRN), beneficial microbiology, and all 17 elements essential for plant photosynthesis. With a near-neutral pH, a low salt index and low ammonium nitrogen percentage, Suståne will not cause seedling stress or plant fertilizer “burn”. Suståne products increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) by supplying humates and stable organic matter. Suståne’s organic and blended natural fertilizers provide all soil types with additional buffering capacity, allowing for more consistent and productive growth.
