First off, What makes RKAG product different from the competition?- Growers PA

ralpht · October 17, 2018, 6:18pm

yeah that be great

AlulaHydro · October 17, 2018, 6:22pm

thanks, that makes sense, a lot of growers like coco for those reasons. it’s not just the amount of the nutrients applied, but how to make them readily available so the plants can use them to maximum benefit

ralpht · October 17, 2018, 6:24pm

from my understanding . Made In the USA 100%
we have the most complete "bang for buck " carbon based material in the industry. as well as our OMRI certified sugars blended. The products are “organic” micronized. its a serious blend of organics and carbon grinder real fine together. they are all backing and buffering each other also. Short chain and long chain carbon . short and long chain sugars. then our microbes come from “pure culture” meaning all the colony family units are singled out wrapped in organic acid then attached to each other. this makes the microbes in the RKAG products more consistent then other materials. We work out of organic Pharma lab certified in doing this.
let me know if anyone objects to the comments? I am only going off my knowledge which isn’t everything or much lol

HudsonAssociates · October 17, 2018, 6:26pm

May be a simple question, But what is carbon ?

ralpht · October 17, 2018, 6:27pm

thats my goal . I am essentially just selling additives sometimes. so RKAG goal from the start was that I want our customers to have best bang for buck and the lowest risk taken trying something new and applying something to a set schedule that has been worked on for years. being new and a start up. trust is everything .

HudsonAssociates · October 17, 2018, 6:31pm

Trust is key to business in the this industry. What efforts have you taken to assure your growers that they can trust in this product and your company?

ralpht · October 17, 2018, 6:47pm

being upfront doin what I say and sayin what I do
sticking up for my beliefs

HudsonAssociates · October 17, 2018, 6:48pm

“organic” is a broad term. RKAG is 100% derived from organic sources. NPK is some of the materials make them not OMRI but yes they are as close as it can get

HudsonAssociates · October 17, 2018, 7:16pm

Is that “Cost Effective”?

HudsonAssociates · October 17, 2018, 7:26pm

To conclude, I know we have talked a lot about Expanding your brand and there are several new products coming out. What is the plan moving forward and what can we see developing from Royal Knight in the future?

KrisGrows · October 17, 2018, 7:31pm

How much further were you able to diminish the salt content in your products, over main stream?

ralpht · October 18, 2018, 12:23am

we are constantly battling rising salts. the humic amino fulvic acids constantly sequester salts. we are built to keep em flushing. I can’t speak for rest of industry. lets test em

ralpht · October 18, 2018, 12:29am

carbon is everything . Key component of everything we all know on earth. our particular carbon sources we work with are kelp , fish emulsion, omri sugars , bone meal all organic sources which are carbon sources as well

KrisGrows · October 18, 2018, 1:47am

Ralpht… Those are some of the best sources! Its delightful to hear the salt content is addressed. I read through so many manufacturers products and data sheets, and pondered if this was s subject a producer would take notice in! Nice to see that it is!

ralpht · October 18, 2018, 3:33am

thank you.
as of now I see and look at the industry and from my background and my knowledge this part of the industry was undereducated for marketing purposes . having things like PH up and PH down and other products that are geared towards one purpose. I feel it helped the companies sell more and make more at the same time did service the community and make it easy enough to grow and less risk .
but 2018 and the knowledge of growers and the industry the market nowadays is well advanced . working with the latest lights , dosatrons, genetics , etc … why not the newest technology in fertilizer. where buffering the ph goes without sayin . idk . I might be in trouble now lol

KrisGrows · October 18, 2018, 3:54am

Ohhhh… Thats a dream, lol… PH balanced nutes… Now you are just mad!

I love it!
