Frequently asked questions about INSTAGrowth products and applications
Available at the Breakthru Technology agriculture store.
How much INSTAGrowth should I use?
For normal watering all you need is 0.6 ml of INSTAGrowth diluted in 1.6 liters of water. We recommend that you foliar spray your plants every two to three weeks during the growing season. The dilution rate for foliar spraying is one ml INSTAGrowth to 200 ml water, or 5 ml per liter.
Do I still need to use fertilizer with INSTAGrowth?
Not necessarily, because INSTAGrowth is not a fertilizer — it works indirectly by stimulating the natural soil-forming processes, thus allowing minerals that are already in the soil to come into an available form, plus allowing beneficial microbes to populate. The suggested residential approach is to add INSTAGrowth, watch the plant responses, and if the responses are poor, then add fertilizer at 25% of the recommended rate. In large applications, get three soil tests done at 0–6", 6–18", and 18–24". Depending on the crop and soil type, fertilizer applications are usually reduced or not necessary in subsequent years because of the continuous bio-cycling effect of INSTAGrowth.
Can I use INSTAGrowth on my orchids?
Yes, for tropical plants follow instructions on the label and mist with diluted INSTAGrowth at least once per week. Plants take in energy through both roots and leaves.
Why does the root ball increase with the use of INSTAGrowth?
As the roots are the major uptake of nutrients it is imperative for the survival of the plant. Naturally, the plant’s first priority is its survival — as such, when balanced nutrients are available the plant will sacrifice top growth to ensure its future survival. INSTAGrowth’s uniqueness invigorates the soil bionomic system thereby creating a nutrient-rich subsoil. The plant’s natural response is to develop roots into this rich layer, monopolizing the nutrient source. There is nothing in the world that can compare to INSTAGrowth’s invigoration of the soil.
Can I use INSTAGrowth in a drip feed system?
Yes, INSTAGrowth has been tested in vegetable gardening with a drip feed system and the results were amazing. The dilution rate is 1,600 to 1, or 0.6 ml of INSTAGrowth per liter of water.
Does INSTAGrowth work with strawberries and raspberries?
Yes, apply it directly to the soil and also foliar spray and watch what happens. See the Grow Fruit and Berries section to get other tips on growing strawberries and raspberries.
Is INSTAGrowth safe to use on indoor plants?

Is INSTAGrowth safe to use on rose bushes?
Yes, for rose bushes, perennials, annuals, and all shrubs — pour 0.6 ml INSTAGrowth diluted in 1.6 liters of water directly on soil as well as spraying on foliage at a dilution of one part INSTAGrowth to 200 parts of water. Foliar spray every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
Is INSTAGrowth safe to use on vegetable gardens?
Yes, INSTAGrowth will make your plants grow to produce more and better-tasting vegetables. Root crops should have INSTAGrowth Granular for Soil added below the seed planting height — about 454 grams or 1 lb per 20 ft row. Flowering plants should have 454 grams or 1 lb per sq. ft incorporated into the soil for best results. When you see any growth above ground, apply diluted INSTAGrowth at 200/1 to the soil with your first watering and 1,600/1 with subsequent watering. For really healthy plants, use INSTAGrowth liquid concentrate in your liquid fertilizer dispenser at the highest dilution setting and spray all foliage.
Can I use INSTAGrowth on my lawn?
Yes, broadcast at 454 grams or 1 lb per 100 sq. ft of lawn the first thing in the spring or fall, then simply add INSTAGrowth concentrate to your liquid dispenser and spray the lawn at the highest dilution rate, or mix INSTAGrowth concentrate in a portable sprayer at 1,600/1 to vitalize your lawn. Additional applications every second to third week are recommended. INSTAGrowth helps to fix sick soil.
