SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost Flowering Bio-Stimulant

🌱 SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost Flowering Bio-Stimulant — Guide and Product Information

SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost is a specialised bio-stimulant developed for growers using active hydroponic systems who want a bloom booster that remains stable in the reservoir. It contains the same active ingredients as standard Sumo Boost, but is formulated with a unique emulsion technology to help prevent fermentation in tanks for up to 14 days.

Used correctly from the start of flowering through to harvest, it is designed to encourage a strong flowering response while helping plants make efficient use of water, light and nutrients. It can also be used as a targeted foliar spray at key stages of bloom.

🌿 Why Choose SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost?

This product is aimed at growers running recirculating or active hydroponic setups who need a flowering stimulant that works reliably in a tank environment. It is intended to support growth, photosynthesis, enzyme activity and water uptake during the flowering phase, while also contributing to improved aroma, taste and overall crop finish through enhanced secondary metabolite and essential oil production.

• ✔ Heavyweight bio-stimulant for flowering plants
• ✔ Formulated for active hydroponic reservoir use
• ✔ Supports flowering development and plant efficiency
• ✔ Helps improve quality characteristics such as aroma and taste

📦 Available Options and Sizes

SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost is available in three size options, making it suitable for everything from smaller hobby reservoirs to larger hydroponic systems.

• ✔ 1L
• ✔ 5L
• ✔ 10L

Choosing the right size depends on your reservoir volume, feed schedule and number of plants being grown through the flowering cycle.

💧 Suitable Applications

SHOGUN Sumo Active Boost is intended for use during the flowering phase as both a root feed additive and, where required, as a foliar application. It is particularly suited to active hydroponic systems where in-tank stability matters. For growers building a complete feeding programme, you can browse more products in our Nutrients and Boosters range.

It can be paired within a wider flowering routine alongside products such as PLAGRON Terra Bloom Flowering Nutrient or root zone support products like PLAGRON PUREZYM Enzyme Additive for Root Zone, depending on your existing feed plan and growing method.
