Emerald Harvest Honey Chome 0.5-0.5-1

Emerald Harvest Honey Chome 0.5-0.5-1 is a carbohydrate-rich aroma and resin enricher formulated to support beneficial root-zone microorganisms and help flowering plants express their natural fragrance, flavor, color, essential oils, and resin characteristics.

Its blend of cane sugar, palm sugar, and agave nectar supplies readily available carbohydrates to the rhizosphere. Honey Chome also provides supplemental nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium to support photosynthesis, nutrient movement, sugar translocation, and productive plant development.

Key Benefits

• Aroma and resin support: Encourages plants to express their natural fragrance, flavor, color, essential oils, and resin characteristics.
• Beneficial microbe nutrition: Supplies carbohydrates that help sustain active microbial populations in the root zone.
• Three carbohydrate sources: Combines cane sugar, palm sugar, and agave nectar.
• Supplemental plant nutrition: Provides small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium.
• Magnesium support: Contributes to chlorophyll production, photosynthesis, and sugar movement.
• Full-cycle application: Suitable from early vegetative growth through ripening.
• Hydroponic-friendly formula: Designed to avoid clogging irrigation lines or gumming up reservoirs when used as directed.
• Natural crop expression: Supports existing plant characteristics rather than adding artificial fragrance or flavor.
• Broad nutrient compatibility: Works with Emerald Harvest and other appropriately balanced base nutrient programs.

Guaranteed Analysis

• N-P-K: 0.5-0.5-1
• Total nitrogen: 0.5%
  • 0.5% nitrate nitrogen
• Available phosphate: 0.5%
• Soluble potash: 1%
• Magnesium: 0.5%
  • 0.5% water-soluble magnesium

Plant-Nutrient Sources

Honey Chome is derived from:

• Magnesium nitrate
• Monopotassium phosphate
• Potassium sulfate

These mineral ingredients provide supplemental nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium alongside the formula’s carbohydrate blend.

Carbohydrate Sources

Honey Chome also contains the following non-plant-food ingredients:

• 2% cane sugar: Microbe food
• 1% palm sugar: Microbe food
• 2% agave nectar: Microbe food

These carbohydrate sources provide a mixture of sucrose and simple sugars intended to sustain beneficial microorganisms within the rhizosphere.

How Honey Chome Supports the Root Zone

Beneficial root-zone microorganisms use carbohydrates as an energy source. Supporting these populations can help maintain an active rhizosphere in biologically managed growing systems.

Honey Chome supplies a controlled carbohydrate blend rather than relying on thick, unrefined sugar products. Its hydroponic-friendly consistency is formulated to move through irrigation systems without clogging lines or leaving excessive residue when used properly.

Honey Chome does not introduce beneficial microorganisms by itself. Pair it with an established microbial inoculant or biologically active growing medium when microbial colonization is desired.

Supporting Aroma, Flavor and Resin

Plant aroma, flavor, and color are influenced by genetics, environmental conditions, nutrition, maturity, and naturally produced compounds such as terpenes and flavonoids.

Honey Chome is formulated to support the plant and root-zone processes involved in the expression of these natural characteristics. It does not replace appropriate lighting, climate management, balanced nutrition, or correct harvest timing.

Official Application Rates

The current Emerald Harvest feeding chart recommends:

• Early Vegetative Growth: 4 mL per gallon
• Late Vegetative Growth: 4 mL per gallon
• Flowering Week 1 – Transition: 4 mL per gallon
• Flowering Weeks 2–7: 8 mL per gallon
• Flowering Weeks 8–9 – Ripening: Reduce to 6 mL per gallon

The chart does not specify Honey Chome for seedlings, cuttings, or transplants. Follow the current container label if using it outside the published schedule.

Monitor total EC or PPM, root-zone conditions, plant response, and reservoir cleanliness throughout the program.

Recommended Mixing Instructions

1. Shake the container thoroughly before measuring.
2. Fill the reservoir or watering container with fresh water.
3. Add the required base nutrients in their proper mixing order.
4. Add Honey Chome at the applicable stage-specific rate.
5. Mix thoroughly before introducing additional supplements.
6. Add each compatible product separately, stirring between additions.
7. Check the final EC or PPM and pH before feeding.

Never combine Honey Chome directly with undiluted fertilizer concentrates.

Root-Zone Application

Honey Chome is designed to deliver carbohydrates and nutrients through the root zone. The current product page and feeding chart do not provide a foliar application rate.

Apply Honey Chome through the reservoir, fertigation system, or regular root-zone watering program. Avoid using it as a foliar spray unless a current manufacturer label specifically directs otherwise.

Using It With Base Nutrients

Honey Chome is a supplement rather than a complete base fertilizer. It can be used with Emerald Harvest Cali Pro or Grow, Micro, Bloom programs, as well as other appropriately balanced nutrient systems.

Add Honey Chome only after all required base nutrient components have been diluted and mixed. Account for its mineral analysis when monitoring the completed solution’s EC or PPM.

Using It With Beneficial Microbes

Honey Chome can provide carbohydrates for beneficial organisms introduced through products such as Emerald Harvest Root Wizard or other compatible microbial inoculants.

Carbohydrates can also feed undesirable organisms if sanitation, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, or reservoir maintenance are poor. Monitor reservoirs for odor, cloudiness, biofilm, or unexpected pH changes, particularly in warm or low-oxygen systems.

Growing Media and System Compatibility

Honey Chome is suitable for:

• Recirculating hydroponic systems
• Drain-to-waste systems
• Coco coir
• Rockwool
• Deep water culture
• Flood-and-drain systems
• Drip irrigation and fertigation
• Soilless growing media
• Root-zone container applications

Maintain proper system hygiene and inspect irrigation lines routinely when using any carbohydrate supplement.

Important Usage Notes

• Use as an aroma, resin, and root-zone carbohydrate supplement.
• Do not use Honey Chome as a complete base fertilizer.
• Apply through the root zone rather than as a foliar spray.
• Shake thoroughly before every application.
• Measure carefully and follow the appropriate feeding chart.
• Maintain adequate dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and reservoir cleanliness.
• Keep the bottle tightly sealed and protected from direct sunlight.
• For best results, use reasonably soon after opening.
