Designed for Vigorous Vegetative Growth
HERB-SUPERB SuperGrass is specifically formulated for the vegetative stage, when plants require strong nutritional support for foliage, stems, branches and overall biomass development.
Its nitrogen-focused organic formulation helps support:
- Rapid vegetative development
- Healthy green foliage
- Strong shoots and branches
- Plant structure
- Root-zone activity
- Efficient nutrient cycling
- Preparation for productive flowering
SuperGrass is particularly useful when plants need to build a strong structural foundation before transitioning into bloom.
Three-Stage HERB-SUPERB System
The HERB-SUPERB range contains three stage-specific formulas.
| Formula | Primary Use |
|---|---|
| SuperGrass | Vegetative growth |
| Balance | General feeding, transition & maintenance |
| Mega Yield | Mid-to-late flowering & ripening |
A complete crop can therefore progress through:
SuperGrass → Balance → Mega Yield
This allows the organic nutrient profile to change as plant requirements evolve.
Organic Nutrition for the Soil Food Web
HERB-SUPERB is designed around the biological principles of living soil.
Organic nutrients are processed through interactions involving microorganisms, organic matter and the rhizosphere rather than relying entirely on immediately soluble mineral salts.
This supports:
- Beneficial bacterial populations
- Fungal activity
- Organic matter decomposition
- Nutrient mineralisation
- Rhizosphere development
- Long-term soil fertility
SuperGrass therefore feeds more than the plant—it also supports the biological system responsible for nutrient cycling.
Humic & Fulvic Complex
HERB-SUPERB incorporates a custom humic and fulvic complex.
These compounds help improve interactions between nutrients, minerals, microorganisms and plant roots.
Humic and fulvic compounds can support:
- Nutrient availability
- Mineral retention
- Root-zone nutrient movement
- Soil chemistry
- Biological activity
The formulation achieves this without relying on synthetic chelating agents such as EDTA.
Natural Enzymes
SuperGrass also incorporates naturally occurring enzymatic compounds.
Enzymes participate in biological decomposition and nutrient cycling, helping organic materials become integrated into the active soil system.
This complements the microbial approach of HERB-SUPERB and makes it especially suitable for living-soil cultivation.
Chitin-Rich Organic Inputs
HERB-SUPERB contains diverse chitin-containing organic ingredients.
Chitin is valued in biological horticulture because it interacts with soil microorganisms and plant defence signalling.
Within a healthy living-soil environment, chitin-based materials can contribute to:
- Microbial diversity
- Organic matter cycling
- Rhizosphere activity
- Natural plant defence responses
Naturally Occurring Cytokinins & Plant Compounds
HERB-SUPERB contains naturally occurring cytokinins and plant-active compounds derived from its organic ingredient base.
Cytokinins participate in processes associated with plant growth and cellular development.
These naturally derived compounds complement SuperGrass's vegetative nutrition rather than functioning as synthetic plant growth regulators.
Top Dressing
Top dressing is one of the simplest ways to use HERB-SUPERB SuperGrass.
Apply evenly around the drip line, avoiding concentrated placement directly against the main stem.
Maintenance Feeding
Use approximately:
3mL HERB-SUPERB per 1L of container soil
Aggressive Feeding
Use approximately:
6mL HERB-SUPERB per 1L of container soil
Top-Dressing Guide
| Container Size | Maintenance Rate | Aggressive Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 5L | 15mL | 30mL |
| 10L | 30mL | 60mL |
| 20L | 60mL | 120mL |
| 30L | 90mL | 180mL |
| 50L | 150mL | 300mL |
Adjust application according to plant size, existing soil fertility and growth rate.
After application, lightly work the amendment into the upper soil where appropriate, water thoroughly and cover with mulch.
SuperGrass + STONE-AGE Top Dressing
HERB-SUPERB can be paired with High Powered Organics STONE-AGE for a broader organic and mineral feeding program.
A general maintenance example for a 5L container is:
- 1 tablespoon HERB-SUPERB
- 1 teaspoon STONE-AGE
For more aggressive feeding in the same container:
- 2 tablespoons HERB-SUPERB
- 2 teaspoons STONE-AGE
SuperGrass provides organic vegetative nutrition, while STONE-AGE adds broad-spectrum mineral support.
Use with ALFA-MULCH
After top dressing, cover the soil surface with ALFA-MULCH or another suitable organic mulch.
Mulching helps:
- Maintain soil moisture
- Protect fresh amendments
- Reduce surface drying
- Support microbial activity
- Encourage biological decomposition
Keeping the amended soil surface biologically active helps organic nutrients become integrated into the rhizosphere.
Soil Recharging
HERB-SUPERB can also be used to recharge depleted growing media between crop cycles.
General application rates range from approximately 1% to 2.5% of total soil volume.
For a 40L volume of used soil:
| Recharge Level | HERB-SUPERB |
|---|---|
| Light | 400mL |
| Moderate | 600mL |
| Heavy | 1L |
For general soil recharging, the Balance formula is usually the preferred all-purpose option. SuperGrass can be selected where a more nitrogen-focused vegetative nutrient profile is specifically required.
Mix amendments thoroughly through moistened growing media and allow the soil time to biologically stabilise before planting where practical.
Soil Building
SuperGrass can also form part of a new organic or living-soil recipe.
When building soil from scratch, combine HERB-SUPERB with suitable:
- Base growing media
- Compost
- Worm castings
- Aeration materials
- Mineral amendments
- Biological inputs
Mix thoroughly into moistened media and allow biological activity time to begin processing the amendments before planting.
Planting Hole Application
HERB-SUPERB can be incorporated into planting-hole backfill at up to approximately 2% of the soil volume.
For a typical larger planting hole, an example application is:
- 1 cup HERB-SUPERB
- 1/4 cup STONE-AGE
Mix thoroughly through the surrounding soil rather than placing concentrated amendment directly against bare roots.
Nutrient Tea Application
HERB-SUPERB can be used as a nutrient source in properly aerated biological teas.
For approximately 20L of chlorine-free water, a nutrient tea can use:
- 1 cup HERB-SUPERB
- A suitable live microbial source
Match the HERB-SUPERB formula to the growth stage.
For vegetative plants, use SuperGrass.
Aerate appropriately and apply freshly prepared tea promptly.
Ideal for GRO-DIRT
SuperGrass is particularly well suited to the High Powered Organics GRO-DIRT range.
It can be used to:
- Boost vegetative nutrition
- Extend the nutritional life of smaller soil volumes
- Support reused GRO-DIRT
- Top dress long-cycle plants
- Supplement GRO-DIRT Lite
- Replenish soil between crop cycles
Because it uses similar premium organic inputs to the GRO-DIRT soil range, it integrates naturally into the same biological growing approach.
Excellent for GRO-DIRT Lite
SuperGrass is especially useful with GRO-DIRT Lite, where growers have greater control over supplemental feeding.
A simple vegetative program can use GRO-DIRT Lite as the biological growing medium and introduce SuperGrass as plant demand increases.
This provides:
Living Soil Biology + Organic Nutrient Steering
As plants approach flowering, growers can transition from SuperGrass to Balance and eventually Mega Yield.
Autoflower Applications
SuperGrass can also be incorporated into autoflowering programs.
For autoflowers, begin top dressing cautiously around approximately week 3–4, depending on plant development and existing soil fertility.
A typical progression is:
- SuperGrass during vegetative development
- Balance through transition and early bloom
- Mega Yield during established flowering
Because autoflowers move through their life cycle rapidly, avoid excessive amendment rates.
