Seachem Synthesis

Nitrogen is one of the three macro nutrients (NPK) that plants need. It is a component of proteins and nucleic acids. Nitrogen is mobile in plants. This means that the plants redirect these nutrients from older leaves to new leaves. Thus, deficiency symptoms appear first in older leaves. Nitrogen deficiency symptoms include chlorosis; slow growth; and small, immature plants with large root systems.

Nitrogen comes in various forms (nitrate, ammonia, urea). While plants can use all three forms, the preferred form varies by species. Thus, nitrogen supplements derived exclusively from only one form (nitrates) will not be as effective as a supplement that yields all three forms.

synthesis ™ is a concentrated (32,000 mg / LN) nitrogen source. synthesis ™ is unique because it offers nitrogen in all three forms. About 50% of the nitrogen in synthesis ™ is derived from an organic source (urea), while the remaining nitrogen splits at about 25% each of nitrate and ammoniacal sources.
