What is Grower’s Honey?

Grower’s Honey by GS Plant Foods is a revolutionary organic, plant-based amino acid fertilizer designed to supercharge plant growth, health, and resilience. This 1-gallon concentrate delivers 18 L-Amino Acids—nature’s essential building blocks—alongside a balanced NPK 4-3-3 formula.

By supplementing plants with pre-formed amino acids, Grower’s Honey allows them to redirect energy from amino acid production to robust growth, vibrant blooms, and bountiful yields. Perfect for gardens, lawns, hydroponics, and more, this eco-friendly solution is your key to unlocking nature’s full potential.

Key Benefits and Applications

The product is marketed with several key benefits, which appear to be supported by general knowledge of amino acid fertilizers:

  • Maximizing Growth and Vitality
    By providing pre-formed amino acids, Grower’s Honey reduces the energy plants expend on synthesizing these compounds, potentially leading to more vigorous growth, greener turf, and larger harvests. This is consistent with findings that amino acids can stimulate plant metabolism.

  • Boosting Stress Resistance
    The fertilizer is claimed to enhance natural pest and disease resistance, as well as recovery from environmental stresses like drought. Amino acids are known to play roles in stress physiology, providing both preventative and recovery effects.

  • Improving Photosynthesis
    It increases chlorophyll production, leading to higher energy conversion. This is supported by research indicating amino acids, particularly glycine, boost chlorophyll content, enhancing photosynthesis efficiency.

  • Superior Root Health
    Nutrients in Grower’s Honey are said to strengthen root systems, improving nutrient uptake and water penetration. This aligns with general benefits of amino acid fertilizers, which can enhance root development and nutrient assimilation.

  • Pollination and Fruit Quality
    It enhances pollen fertility, fruit set, shelf life, and flavor during ripening. This is an interesting claim, as amino acids are known to improve pollen germination and fruit quality, potentially increasing crop value, as seen in the manufacturer’s claims and supported by studies like ScienceDirect on honey’s amino acid roles.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for Orchid Love. I bought mine on Amazon.com. I have been using it for the last five months. My orchids haven't looked better. Then I discovered a secret using your Orchid food. I have been dripping it down the old spikes of my 14 orchids not in flower for the last month. Now I have 5 of my orchids sending up new spikes that should be blooming around Christmas and 3 shooting secondary spikes off the old spikes. Even my other house plants love it. Thank you so much.

I received this product in a very timely manner. After the first application this seems to be working on my fall garden in zone 7. The lettuce, cauliflower, and broccoli all responded to a foliar spray of 1 Tbsp mixed in a half gallon of water. I also applied it to my tomato plants that had slowed down due to the colder weather and was surprised to see all of the plants start setting new blooms and fruit. I was at the point of actually pulling the tomato plants out for the year but look to maybe get a few more tomato's off each plant now!

Hi, just received your kelp and humic acid per Amazon.I scoped them at 40 and 100x shortly after opening and could not believe the diversity compared to a competitor's similar products.I provide the most thorough organic lawn/soil treatments in the Gainesville Fl area, and looking forward to continuing business."Thanks for your product

— Chad Freeman

So far, my plants and microgreens seem to respond well--new growth and deeper color--to the spray I mixed with water and store in the refrigerator.
My only complaint is that the bottle could be designed better so that the liquid doesn't drip everywhere and get a little messy even when using a funnel to catch extra liquid.
It smells strong & stains, so prepare your mixture outside or on a plastic covered table.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Why do organic fertilizers like yours have lower NPK values than synthetic fertilizers?

Synthetic fertilizers artificially spike NPK levels far beyond natural amounts, much like vitamin pills overload the body with nutrients it can’t fully absorb. Organic fertilizers, however, workwithnature—enhancing plants’ ability to uptake nutrients efficiently without excess runoff. This means lower NPK numbers deliverhigher effectivenesswhile protecting ecosystems from pollution caused by synthetic waste.

How should I store your products to maximize shelf life?

Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure lids are tightly sealed after use. While most formulas have an indefinite shelf life, always mix only what you need for immediate use to maintain potency.

Do I need to water my lawn after applying your liquid fertilizers?

No watering is required! Our liquid formulas absorb quickly into the soil. For best results, apply early in the morning to allow 2-3 hours of soaking time before rain or irrigation. This ensures maximum nutrient retention without runoff.

Is it safe to harvest vegetables right after using your products?

Yes! Most of our products have a zero-harvest interval, meaning you can pick produce immediately. However, we recommend waiting 2-3 days after application for optimal nutrient absorption and flavor development.

How do organic fertilizers reduce environmental harm compared to synthetics?

Synthetic fertilizers overload plants with nutrients they can’t fully absorb, leading to harmful runoff that pollutes waterways. Organic formulas, like ours, mimic nature—delivering balanced, bioavailable nutrients that plants use efficiently. Think of it as feeding your garden a wholesome meal instead of forcing it to “overeat” synthetic additives.
