How to Grow Like Growganica

A guide to understanding our 3-step living soil system

Whether you’re growing vegetables, flowers, or something a bit more fragrant, all healthy gardens start the same way: with healthy soil.

At Growganica, we build everything around one simple idea — feed the soil first, and the plants will follow. Our 3-step system is designed to support living soil by working with natural biology, not against it. That means fewer inputs, fewer problems, and a garden that gets better every year.

STEP 1: MICROBES

If you’re new to living soil, this might feel like the biggest shift in thinking — but it’s the most important.

Your soil isn’t just a medium to hold roots. It’s an ecosystem. And the fastest way to activate that ecosystem is with microbes. A well-made microbial inoculant introduces a community of beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microscopic life into your soil. These microbes form partnerships with your plants to:

• Fix nitrogen from the atmosphere
• Break down phosphorus and other locked-up nutrients
• Build healthier roots and stronger immunity
• Improve water retention and soil structure

Think of this as setting the foundation. Once the biology is in motion, everything else becomes more efficient — from nutrient uptake to pest resistance.

Application Tip: Mix a microbe inoculant with water and apply during transplant, early veg, or anytime you're building new beds. Reapply regularly to keep populations strong, especially if you're watering frequently or working in containers.

STEP 2: VEG OR BLOOM

With microbes established, the next step is to feed the biology. Microbes, like all living organisms, need a food source. That food needs to be matched to the stage your plants are in.

Growganica’s system includes two biological fertilizers — one for vegetative growth, and one for bloom.

In the vegetative phase:

• Support leaf and stem development while encouraging root expansion
• Low-nitrogen, high-potassium formulations prevent stretching
• Feeds microbial biomass and plant growth simultaneously

In the bloom phase:

• Boost phosphorus and potassium to support flowering or fruiting
• Biologically compatible inputs that don’t disrupt the soil food web
• No need to flush or reset between phases

Application Tip: Use during respective growth stages. Because they’re not synthetic, there’s no need for a flush schedule.

STEP 3: POWER UP

Once your soil is alive and your plants are on track, you can begin to fine-tune your grow with targeted support.

This is where Growganica’s power-up products come in. These five tools let you customize based on your garden’s needs — whether you’re building soil, bulking flowers, or managing stress recovery.

Incredible Bulk

A bloom-phase booster designed to support flower size and density. High in potassium and water-soluble for easy uptake during late stages of growth.

Kelp It Real

Seaweed-based and rich in auxins and cytokinins. Great for root development, stress recovery, and early veg support.

King Krustacean

Crustacean meal amendment loaded with calcium and chitin. Boosts pest resistance and supports fungal networks in soil.

VitaminSea

A magnesium supplement sourced from seawater. Supports photosynthesis and addresses common chlorosis symptoms.

SeaPhood

A full-spectrum microbial food designed to maintain soil biology throughout the growing season. Especially useful in no-till systems.

How It All Works Together

What makes this system unique is how each product builds on the last. Rather than chasing symptoms with more inputs, you’re creating a self-sustaining loop:

• Microbes create access to nutrients
• Biological fertilizers feed both microbes and plants
• Power-ups address targeted goals with precision

And because everything is designed to be microbe-safe and synthetics-free, you’re not just growing a plant — you’re growing a healthier, more resilient garden over time.

Final Thoughts

Living soil doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right approach, your garden can become a thriving ecosystem that supports itself — with less effort from you and fewer inputs over time.

Growganica’s 3-Step System is built to support that vision: simple, scalable, and grounded in biology.

Whether you’re planting vegetables, cannabis, ornamentals, or companion crops — when you feed your soil first, everything else gets easier.

Grow healthy. Grow simply. Growganica.
