Peters Fertilizers offers a comprehensive, professional-grade line of water-soluble and liquid fertilizers designed to meet the precise nutritional needs of diverse crops, from home gardens to commercial hydroponic operations. The range is built around specialized formulations that target specific growth stages, crop types, and growing media, ensuring growers can fine-tune their feeding programs for maximum health and yield.
Core General Purpose & Acid-Specific Formulations
For versatile, all-around plant nutrition, the line includes several general-purpose options. Peters General Purpose 20-20-20 provides a perfectly balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it an excellent staple for supporting vigorous growth, flowering, and fruiting across a wide variety of plants. Where media pH management is a concern, Peters General Purpose 20-10-20 offers a modified ratio with acidifying action to help suppress pH rise in peat-based mixes, making it ideal for potted plants, bedding plants, and container nursery stock. For acid-loving species like azaleas, rhododendrons, and blueberries, Peters 21-7-7 Acid Special Fertilizer delivers a balanced nutrient profile while helping to enhance soil acidity for improved nutrient uptake. The Peters Excel Multi-Purpose 21-5-20 serves as a moderately acidic, flexible base that can be mixed with other Excel line products to create custom formulations tailored to specific crop demands.
Specialized Hydroponic & Crop-Specific Nutrients
The Peters line is particularly robust for soilless culture. A foundational two-part system is evident for hydroponic growers. Peters Hydroponic Special 5-11-26 is a complete base nutrient formulated to support the entire growth cycle, with its high potassium and phosphorus levels promoting strong root development, flowering, and fruiting. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a supplemental calcium nitrate source, such as the Peters CalMag Special Grower 15-5-15 + 7CaO + 3MgO + TE , which provides essential calcium, magnesium, and trace elements to ensure robust cell structure and complete nutrition. For targeted growth phases, Peters Professional 14-0-8 Hydroponic Boost delivers elevated nitrogen and potassium to fuel rapid vegetative surges, while its Base Formulation provides supplemental nitrogen, potash, calcium, and magnesium for vigorous crops. As plants mature, Peters Professional Hydroponic Finisher 0-15-30 is a zero-nitrogen, high-phosphorus and potassium formula designed to be used in the final weeks before harvest to maximize flower and fruit development.
Foliar Feeding & Micronutrient Supplements
To address immediate nutritional needs or correct deficiencies, the line includes targeted products for foliar application. Peters Professional 30-10-10 High Nitro Foliar Feed provides a quick-acting nitrogen source for lush foliage and rapid recovery during periods of stress or fast growth. For comprehensive micronutrient supplementation, Peters Professional S.T.E.M. Liquid Fertilizer is an industry-standard, easy-to-apply liquid formula suitable for both foliar feeding and soil drenching. The same essential trace element package is available in a dry, dye-free format as Peters STEM Water Soluble Micronutrients Trace Element Mix No Dye . Featuring an exclusive M-77 chelating formula, this mix ensures fast and efficient absorption of iron, manganese, zinc, and other vital micronutrients across all water types, making it an ideal complement to any primary fertilization program. This complete system of base nutrients, crop-specific boosters, and targeted supplements makes Peters Fertilizers a versatile and trusted choice for achieving predictable, high-quality results.
