Honey Chome is our premium aroma and resin enrichment product.
It is designed to increase the market value of your crops by boosting the production of terpenes and flavonoids for improved fragrance, flavor, potency and color, which are the qualities that farmers desire most. All three carbohydrate sources increase your yield by stimulating growth and flowering and by feeding the beneficial microbes contained in the roots.
With Honey Chome, you get energetic crops with large roots that absorb more nutrients.
A perfect product to obtain more moist and resinous crops with better aroma and flavor, more potency and more vivid colors that together increase the market value by weight.
Benefits of Honey Chome
Stimulates the creation of oils rich in terpenes and flavonoids
Honey Chome is formulated to increase the production of oils with a high content of terpenes and flavonoids and with a high content of pigments
Terpenes
Terpenes are the essential elements of many compounds, including the essential oils (resins and saps) of many plant species. Crops release them as a defense mechanism to repel insects and as a biochemical signal to attract symbiotic organisms, such as beneficial insects or even birds. Terpenes are closely related to the most desired qualities of medicinal crops, namely their fragrance, flavor, and potency.
The higher the concentration of terpenes, the more fragrant the flowers will be. Terpenes such as esters, phenols, and other volatile aromatic compounds are responsible for fragrance. Indeed, different specific terpenes and esters correspond to different specific fragrances (e.g. minty, citrus, woody, etc.).
The higher the concentration of terpenes, the tastier the fruits will be. Aromatic compounds such as terpenes also have a rich flavor. Indeed, fragrance and flavor are closely related, as aromatic compounds provide and enhance flavor.
The better their medicinal value will also be. The compounds that growers value so much accumulate in essential oils of plants and remain there after harvest.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids include anthoxanthins, anthocyanins, flavones and other polyphenolic compounds. They are responsible for the yellow, red and blue pigmentation of buds, fruits and flower petals that attracts pollinating animals.
Flavonoids are antioxidants and have other benefits when consumed by humans. The higher the concentration of flavonoids, the richer the color of your crop.
Honey Chome, a reliable source of carbohydrates
Provides additional energy to your plants for more vigor in vegetative growth and flowering. Plants make carbohydrates internally during photosynthesis and then use them as a fuel for growth.
Although the ability of roots to absorb sugars is disputed, simple carbohydrates (e.g. monosaccharides) appear to be easily absorbed. Honey Chome contains a variety of simple carbohydrate sources (cane sugar, palm sugar, and agave honey) that are easily absorbed by the roots.
Honey Chome supplies just the right amount of carbohydrate for the rhizosphere. Although some experienced growers swear by pure molasses, it is difficult to determine precisely how much molasses to add to the container. All microbes, both beneficial and harmful, feed on the sugars in molasses and other carbohydrate sources.
Excess carbohydrates may be more harmful than beneficial, by providing more food than beneficial microbes need and allowing harmful microbes to thrive on the excess. In this way, the delicate microbial ecosystem found in the root zone is disrupted. Honey Chome contains just the right amount of carbohydrates to maintain a vigorous microbial inoculant population.
A soil life enhancer
Honey Chome provides microbial inoculants with the energy they need to thrive. Just as plants use carbohydrates for energy, so do beneficial bacteria and fungi. They consume sugars, root exudates (plant waste), and other organic materials from the rhizosphere. This increases their reproduction and community activity.
More microbial activity means more organic matter is converted into bio-available nutrients. It also means stronger, longer roots, able to absorb more nutrients. And more nutrients mean more growth and flowering…and bigger harvests.
