Feed Your Soil and Build Happy Roots
Build and Feed a Happy Living Soil
Reefertilizer® Start was created to improve soil quality. Millions of beneficial bacteria and organisms live in the soil. These helpful little guys keep soil pH under control and help plants absorb nutrients efficiently. Many potting soils are lacking in this department. Reefertilizer Start helps feed organisms in the soil increasing their population. It also builds mycorrhizal fungus networks that protect roots from drought and improve their ability to take in water and nutrients.
Build a Healthier Happier Soil For Your Weed
Add Before Transplanting
Mycorrhiza grows best when in direct contact with root systems. This friendly fungus protects roots and improves water and nutrient uptake.
Monthly Top Dressing
Kelp meal as a top monthly top dressing nourishes beneficial bacteria in your soil.
Easy Weekly Feeding Schedule
Reefertilizer likes to keep things simple. Feed your plants once a week and top up your soil with Start once a month.
Some folks split the weekly dose and feed their plants twice a week.
If you need more or less nutrient solution, just use the same ratio no matter how much water you’re using.
If you accidentally overfeed your plants, you can easily flush your medium with water.
Organic Kelp Meal and Mycorrhizae? Yes Please!
Our Reefertilizer™ Start formula contains organic sea kelp and mycorrhizal spores.
When these dry granules are used during transplant, they can help build helpful fungal structures that grow with your roots called mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizal spores have an easier time propagating when in direct contact with roots.
The kelp meal is chock full of beneficial micronutrients, amino acids, and natural growth hormones. A monthly top dressing is all you need to help feed and bolster the living elements of your soil.
A healthy living soil will be able to better support your plants’ ability to uptake water and nutrients. Microbes in your soil help balance pH and provide natural tools to help your plants metabolize nutrients.
Providing these essential elements early on will help your plants establish a strong root zone as quickly as possible.
We source the highest quality organic mycorrhizae and compost from reputable Canadian suppliers.
Reefertilizer Start is not recommended for hydroponic, aeroponic, or DWC since it’s not water soluble.

Question and Answers
What makes Reefertilizer Start different from other kelp meal and myco products?
Our products are designed for cannabis and for ease of use. Start can be added to any type of soil or soilless growing mediums making it more versatile than other products. Many premium potting soils contain small amounts of myco spread out through the medium, roots need to find their way to a myco spore before they can inoculate themselves. By using start as a starter soil, your plants’ roots are inoculated sooner, resulting in faster growth.
Give it a try yourself and see why our customers love using start with their seedlings and clones.Our goal at Reefertilizer is to get more folks growing their own cannabis. Reefertilizer provides easy-to-use and affordable nutrients along with straightforward guidance and support.
We designed our products to be lighter and have less packaging than our competitors and we’re happy to offer a 30-day return policy if you’re not happy with our products.
We’re not “big fertilizer”, we’re just three guys who love growing and using cannabis.
When do I start feeding my plants Reefertilizer Start?
Start can be used at any point while growing cannabis. If your plants are already established you can apply Start as a top dressing.
Ideally, you would add some during transplant as a seedling or before flowering. You can re-apply Start as a top dressing monthly to help feed your soil and bolster the microbial population.
How much do I feed my plants?
Start with 3 scoops in the transplant hole when putting your seedlings into a bigger pot for veg or flower. Every month add 3 more scoops as a top dressing.
Don’t plant your seeds directly into Start or they might be harmed. Reefertilizer Start is not a soil replacement and it can be too strong for young seedlings.

You need way more than the little bag provides for soil mixes. It’s way too small a portion.

I used the Start, following the directions to the letter on a Bakerstreet Indica seedling immediately after the very successful germination. Something has gone wrong as the seedling is now 22 days old and appears to be stunted. I’m
Trying to nurse it back to health but it should be a lot bigger. The Cotyledons weren’t right from the start but I’ve managed to keep it going. The leaves are a good colour and the stalk looks good. I don’t know what went wrong with this one but I’ll keep it going. I’ve provided a picture for your assessment. -
I use it when transplanting. I also topdress before every watering when my plant are in seedling stage.

Was very different than liquid or powder I had used in the past indoors. Works for in and out growing, simple, effective, clear directions. Great work!
