Resin Finish is a potent elicitor that maxes outcrop quality (essential oil production) in the last 7 – 14 days of the crop cycle. Resin Finish contains two potent elicitors which, due to their dramatic effect in activating the defence pathways of the plant, would be unsuitable for use at any other point of the crop cycle. The key to Resin Finish is that by the time you reach the last two weeks of the crop cycle, where many growers traditionally flush, cell division is about nil and the plant isn’t producing more biomass (size) per se; therefore, a strong stress response can be invoked without compromising yields. The end result of applying Resin Finish is that the plant packs on oils in the last 7 – 14 days of the crop cycle.
What is an Elicitor?
Many of the medically useful compounds produced by plants are the result of the plant stress response. Stress may be the result of biotic or abiotic sources. Biotic sources of stress are caused by living organisms, such as fungal pathogens or feeding insects. Compounds produced by living organisms, such as fungal wall derivatives or signalling molecules can also be sources of biotic stress. Abiotic stress arises from non-biological stresses, such as nutrient deficiency, shortage of water or salinity. When a plant is exposed to stressors, which are also called elicitors, enzymatic pathways are induced which alter the content of secondary metabolites. This is especially true for compounds that are well known for pharmacological activity, such as terpenoids, alkaloids, and phenylpropanoids.

In The Box
- Med-Tek Resin Finish - [Size: 5L]
- Improves crop quality through increasing essential oil production
- Improves terpene production
- Improves bag appeal
- Improves flavour
- Activates SAR (Systemic Acquired Resistance) and ISR (Induced Systemic Resistance) which among other things helps to protect the crop against late-season moulds (e.g. botrytis/grey mould)
- Speeds up ripening with some genetics
Recommended usage rate 0.5 – 2ml/L in last 10 – 14 days during the water only/flush cycle. See Med-Tek feed chart for further information.
Note: because Resin Finish contains potent elicitors do not use it earlier or contrary to the recommended use
Med-Tek Coir Series
Feed chart based on 8-week bloom finishing time genetics. Some genetics take longer to finish and, as a result, feed recommendations should be adapted to suit. Switch down times from the18 hour lights on the vegetative phase to the 12-hour lights on the bloom phase will be determined by plant genetics and the desired finishing height of the plant/crop.
Vegetative Phase
Please note: we do not list in ppm, as some manufacturers do, because all ppm meters first measure in EC (electric conductivity) and then run a conversion program to display the reading in ppm. There are three different conversion factors (standards) that various manufacturers use for converting from EC to ppm. Thus, ppm is not a universal standard whereas EC is.
Bloom Phase
Cal-Mag Micro
Med Tek also manufactures and supplies Cal-Mag Micro, which doesn’t feature on the nutrient schedule. This is because, under normal coir growing conditions, our base nutrients supply adequate calcium and magnesium to fully satisfy the demands of the crop. However, Cal-Mag Micro was developed for growers who use RO or soft water (low to nil Ca and Mg in the water supply). Additionally, Cal-Mag Micro was produced to help plants that are under nutrient stress, and it is also handy for LED growers due to the fact that the calcium and magnesium requirement of the plant increases quite dramatically under some LED spectrums. Use Cal-Mag Micro at 1ml/L with RO or soft water supplies, 1- 2ml/L to help plants that are under nutrient stress (i.e. plants showing signs of calcium and/or magnesium deficiency) and use at 2ml/L during veg and transition if deficiencies appear in LED grows.
Feed charts should be seen as a guide only. Optimum EC is influenced by factors such as feed/fertigation frequency, light intensity and spectrum, temperature and humidity, and cultivar. Feed charts act to help less advanced growers (newbies) refine and develop a more sophisticated fertigation strategy relevant to their style of growing.
