SHOGUN Samurai Hydro Grow (A&B) – Premium Hard‑Water Vegetative Nutrient

Boosted vegetative growth with cutting‑edge SmartZen

• SmartZen maximiser is a unique blend of sterols, lignans, tannins, lipids and hydrocarbons, thoroughly researched by SHOGUN’s biochemists.

• It significantly boosts photosynthesis, enabling plants to convert light more efficiently and grow vigorously.

• Independent trials have shown up to an 8% increase in yield compared to standard NPK formulas.

Why it matters:

1. Plants benefit from enhanced chlorophyll density, supporting lush, green foliage.

2. Improved heat tolerance reduces stress under intense lighting, leading to steadier growth.

Optimised for hard water

• Formulated to neutralise excessive calcium and magnesium, commonly found in UK mains water supplies.

• Prevents nutrient lock‑up, which can cause blockages and hamper uptake in hydro systems.

• Keeps pH stable even in mineral-rich conditions, maintaining optimal nutrient availability.

Precision 2‑part base nutrient for vegetative stage

• A and B solutions supply a balanced high‑grade nutrient profile, focusing on nitrogen-rich vegetative growth.

• Easy to integrate with the rest of the SHOGUN additive suite, ensuring full system compatibility.

• Works efficiently in hydroponic, recirculating, drain-to-waste systems and inert media.

Simple feeding schedule – hard water edition

• Adjusted dilution to match UK hard water: allows for stronger feed with reduced overflow risk.

• Recommended 4-week vegetative cycle:

  1. Weeks 1–2: 1–2 ml/L

  2. Weeks 3–4: 2–3 ml/L

• Consciously keeps EC within optimal range, reducing potential buildup from hard-water minerals.

SmartZen delivers extra plant resilience

• Enhances nutrient uptake and transport, with built-in AquaZen® tech, improving water distribution throughout root zones.

• Strengthens plants against heat stress, improving water retention and cellular function.

Ideal application & compatibility

• Tailored to UK growers using tap water with moderate to high hardness.

• Compatible with standard additives like CalMag, bloom boosters, root enhancers, and other SHOGUN products.

• Use through the vegetative stage, then transition to Samurai Hydro Bloom for flowering.

Key Benefits

• 2‑part nutrient designed for more vigorous growth.

• Features exclusive SmartZen Yield Maximiser for enhanced performance.

• Up to 8% yield increases over standard NPK blends.

• Specifically neutralises hard water, preventing nutrient lock‑up.

• Easy‑to‑follow 4‑week schedule tailored for UK conditions.

📌 2‑part feeding routine (hard water variant)

1. Mix Part A and Part B separately in clean water.

2. Dilute at 1–2 ml/L in weeks 1–2, increasing to 2–3 ml/L in weeks 3–4.

3. Monitor EC 1.3–2.5 mS/cm and include 10–40% drain‑off daily in media systems.
