Humboldt Sticky – Humboldt Nutrients · Premium Wetting Agent & Foliar Enhancer

Humboldt Sticky by Humboldt Nutrients is the ultimate wetting agent and surfactant designed to transform how your cannabis plants absorb foliar sprays. Its key benefit is simple but powerful: it breaks water tension to ensure every drop of nutrient or pesticide covers the leaf surface evenly, guaranteeing maximum absorption without waste.

Why your foliar sprays aren't working as they should

Have you ever sprayed your plants only to watch the expensive liquid bead up and roll right off the leaves? It is a common problem: cannabis leaves have a natural waxy defense that repels water. This means that when you apply Cannabis fertilizers or pest control products, a huge percentage of the product ends up dripping onto the floor rather than entering the plant.

This isn't just a waste of money; it's dangerous for your crop. Those water beads that stay on the leaves act like tiny magnifying glasses under your grow lights, creating hot spots that cause burns and tissue damage. You are trying to feed or protect your plants, but you might actually be stressing them out and limiting their potential because the solution isn't spreading correctly.

Humboldt Sticky is the professional solution to this inefficiency. By utilizing the natural power of Yucca schidigera extracts, this additive destroys the surface tension of the water. Instead of beading up, your spray instantly flattens out into a thin, microscopic film that covers 100% of the leaf surface. This allows the stomata (the plant's pores) to absorb the nutrients or insecticides immediately and safely.

Advantages and benefits of using Humboldt Sticky

• Maximum Efficiency: It acts as a binding substance, ensuring your plants actually drink the food you spray on them.
• Prevents Leaf Burn: By eliminating water droplets (the "lens effect"), you can spray with confidence under your Grow lights without scorching the foliage.
• Stress Relief: The organic saponins from Yucca help protect the plant tissue against environmental stress during the application.
• Saves Money: You use less product because none of it runs off the leaf; every drop counts.
• Versatility: It mixes perfectly with nutrients, boosters, and pesticides, making them all more effective.
• Improved Photosynthesis: By keeping the leaves clean and evenly coated, gas exchange and photosynthesis are optimized.

How to use Humboldt Sticky correctly

Using a wetting agent is the secret trick of master growers to get lush, green vegetative growth. Here is how to apply it for the best results:

1. Prepare your water: Start with water that has been dechlorinated (let it sit or use a filter).
2. Dosage: Mix 15 to 30 ml of Humboldt Sticky for every 4 liters of water.
3. Mix the rest: Once the Sticky is in, add your other additives or nutrients and stir well.
4. Application: Use a good Pump Spray Bottle to mist your plants.
5. Timing: Apply during the vegetative cycle and the first 3 weeks of flowering. It is best to spray when lights are about to go off or have just gone off to maximize absorption time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Humboldt Sticky during late flowering?

No, it is recommended to stop foliar spraying after the third week of flowering. Spraying buds directly can lead to mold issues or affect the taste of the final product. Stick to the vegetative stage and early bloom.

Does it work with insecticides?

Absolutely. In fact, it makes them much deadlier to pests. Because the liquid spreads into every nook and cranny of the leaf, pests have nowhere to hide, and the contact time with the insecticide is increased.

Is it chemical or organic?

Humboldt Sticky is a hybrid formula. It contains Ammonium Nitrate for a slight nitrogen boost, but its main functional ingredient is Organic Saponin derived from the Yucca plant.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I honestly don't do foliar feeding without a wetting agent anymore, and Humboldt Sticky is one of the most reliable ones I've tried. Before I started using it, I was constantly frustrated seeing my expensive boosters dripping off the tips of the leaves. It felt like I was throwing money away.

With this product, the difference is visual and immediate. You spray the leaf, and it just looks "wet"—uniformly shiny without a single bead of water. I've noticed my plants recover much faster from deficiencies when I use this in the mix because the uptake is basically instant. If you are growing indoors and want to keep your leaves pristine and efficient, you need this in your arsenal.
