Pairs well with
When new growth comes through pale or patchy, the base nutrient is not always the problem: sometimes one of the trace elements is running short or not getting through. Liquid Trace Elements is Growth Technology's chelated mineral solution for that job, carrying iron, manganese, zinc, boron, copper and molybdenum in a liquid you add to the water. The label direction is 2ml per litre, used weekly until the problem is corrected, or 1ml per litre as a leaf spray in low light, and GT also directs it to lift trace levels during periods of prolific growth. It is a corrective, not a complete feed: the label analysis lists trace elements only, so it runs alongside your normal nutrient. Made in Australia. Available in 250ml, 1L and 5L.

Grower's Tip
- Check the pH before you reach for this bottle. Trace elements are hard for roots to take up when the pH is out of range, and no supplement fixes that.
- Treat it as a course, not a habit: weekly until new growth comes through clean, then stop. That is the label direction.
- Judge it on new growth. Leaves already marked by a shortage rarely recover; the fix shows in the leaves that come after.
- To get it straight onto the leaf, use the 1ml per litre spray in low light alongside the weekly root dose.
- Measure with a syringe. At 1–2ml per litre, a splash from the bottle is several times the dose.
- If the same symptoms keep coming back, look at the base nutrient, the water and the pH rather than running trace elements indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Liquid Trace Elements do I use?
2ml per litre of water, weekly until the problem is corrected. As a leaf spray, 1ml per litre of water, sprayed in low light.
Can I use it at every watering?
No. The label direction is weekly use until the problem is corrected, then stop. It is a corrective, not part of the everyday feed.
Can I spray it on the leaves?
Yes. Dilute 1ml per litre of water and spray in low light, as the label directs.
Does it replace my base nutrient?
No. The label analysis lists trace elements only, with no nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium or magnesium. Use it alongside a complete nutrient.
Which elements does it contain?
Iron, manganese, zinc, boron, copper and molybdenum, in a chelated mineral solution. The typical analysis is printed on the label.
Will it fix yellow leaves?
Not always. Yellowing has several causes, including pH, watering and shortages of nitrogen or magnesium, which this bottle does not supply. If a trace element is the problem, it is the right tool; check the pH first.
Can I use it in coco, soil and hydro?
Yes. The label gives one rate in water and does not restrict the growing medium, so it goes into whatever nutrient solution you feed with.
Which size should I buy?
At 2ml per litre, the 250ml treats 125 litres and the 1L treats 500 litres, enough to correct most home setups. The 5L is for larger systems.
