In practice, the fertiliser was easy to dose thanks to the clear instructions and the pipette supplied. The solubility in water was excellent – the fertiliser dissolved completely and evenly without leaving any residue on the soil. The slight odour during application indicates a good effect, but was not disturbing. In addition, we did not notice any negative effects on the soil or the plants. The plants remained healthy throughout, showed no signs of stress and developed evenly and vigorously.

Consumers rate the Homegrow24 cannabis fertiliser with an average of 4.6 stars. The ease of use and the significant improvement in the health and growth of the plants are emphasised positively. The faster and more intensive flowering phase is particularly appreciated by many users. There were occasional complaints about the packaging, which in some cases arrived dirty. There were also reports of yellow leaves, which could indicate deficiency symptoms, although the manufacturer immediately offered support to solve the problem. In our test, we confirmed the good applicability and effective nutrient supply, but see room for improvement in terms of packaging quality and long-term testing.
Prices of up to €25.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €6.99 . The cannabis fertiliser from Homegrow24 is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €15.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
