Fitleaf® provides growers with technical knowledge to optimize crop performance for both commercial and residential purposes. Assisted by the FitNute® Calculator and four products, anyone can achieve crop and stage-specific formulas tailored for their needs, taking into account key variables that influence nutrient levels in every operation for both hydroponic and soil-based growing. At the same time, a sequence of positive events take place, where each and everyone of us can make a leaference®: Growing your own while enhancing your crops’ nutrient-content will then lead to a healthier lifestyle plus having the capacity of contributing to local communities and reaching higher levels of sustainability to benefit both: the grower and our planet. The Fitleaf® Mobile Application reflects simplicity and provides the most amenable experience in the process of growing food: FitNute® Calculator Offers precision; by taking into account variables that constantly differ from one operation to another. These factors strongly influence the way nutrition is delivered, optimizing several aspects in each operation, most notably: Produce Nutrient Availability – Each crop demands different levels of nutrients on each of their different growth stage. This means that providing different crops with the same nutrition, even if it differs per stage, still fails to provide with everything each plant respectively needs. By focusing nutrition per crop per stage, we are able to provide each different crop with exactly what it needs throughout the whole cycle, reaching their maximum potential which then reflects in: overall plant structure (plant size, fruit size and uniformity, stem thickness, root size), number of yields, flavor, color, and shelf-life. The high levels of nutrients are then translocated to our bodies through consumption. Water Use – The current situation of fresh water availability emphasizes this strong point. When developing nutrient programs, a number of variables play a role to achieve a correct ratio of nutrient solution application, unless it is done through a hydroponic re-circulatory system which automatically gives water a smarter use. The FitNute® Calculator gives the grower peace of mind by being water-friendly when growing. Nutrient Management – The FitNute® Calculator can project the exact amount of nutrients per stage, enabling the grower to fix the nutrient demands per cycle to use exactly what he/she needs. Dashboard Created for the grower to easily manage his/her different nutrition programs effectively. With their account, each grower can generate several nutrition programs and store them in the dashboard. This allows the grower to: Label nutrition programs by crop, area, or room Visualize the phenological stage of each running nutrient program Consult nutrition programs via mobile application and/or desktop website Create PDF files of the nutrient programs for printing and/or sharing via email, drive etc. Discover Invites the grower to explore what Fitleaf® has to offer: Fitleaf® Blog – Access our published article and blog posts to keep up to date with industry trends as well as a hub for informative and educational content regarding hydroponics, plant nutrition and crop specific profiles Social Media – Get connected with Fitleaf® through our different social media channels on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter; get links to industry news or learn what our brand represents.
