Product Relaunch Announcement: VBX, Shine—and Two Powerful New Additions

After a long and frustrating delay, we’re thrilled to announce the return of our most trusted nutrient products—VBX Clean and Shine Bloom Additive. These formulas have powered thousands of successful grows, and we know how much you’ve been waiting for them. (Trust us—we’ve been waiting too.)

But this isn’t just a comeback. It’s a transformation.

🛠 Why the Delay Was Worth It

Due to licensing and supplier-side legal stipulations, we had to pause production and rework our entire business flow. It wasn’t easy—but it gave us the opportunity to fix one of the biggest pain points we faced as a startup: fulfillment delays.

In the past, some orders took up to 10 days to ship. We hated that. You hated that. And it’s over.

Starting today, all nutrient orders will be shipped directly by us, with a new commitment to 12–24 hour turnaround on in-stock items. You’ll see live inventory status on every product page, so if it’s out of stock, you won’t be stuck waiting. That means faster delivery, better packaging, and a chance for us to show off our branding the way it was meant to be seen.

🌱 Product Selection, Rebuilt from the Ground Up

We’ve taken a hard look at what growers actually use—and what lasts. That’s why we’re relaunching with our two most popular and versatile products:

• VBX Clean (1 lb) – No need to worry about water type. VBX works across the board, making it the go-to for clean, consistent results.
• Shine Bloom Additive (1 lb) – Add it during flowering to boost blooms, increase fruit production, and elevate your grow to the next level.

While Veg+Bloom may return in the future, we’re prioritizing VBX for its versatility, simplicity, and popularity among growers. These two products will be available within the next week as we finalize packaging and bundle pricing.

💧 Introducing AquaSure & FoamFix – Water Management, Reimagined

During our downtime, we turned our attention to one of the most overlooked aspects of hydroponic growing: water quality.

That led to the development of two new products—AquaSure and FoamFix—designed to work together to condition, clarify, and stabilize your water environment.

• AquaSure – A botanical water conditioner that improves nutrient uptake, buffers pH, and helps eliminate biofilm—without adding nutrients. Ideal for Kratky systems, grow towers, and microgreens. Not aquaponic-safe.
• FoamFix – A plant-based foam suppressant and emulsifier built for systems with active water movement—pumps, wave makers, nutrient blends, and more. Keeps your reservoir clean, your dosing consistent, and your water smooth.

These two products are in the final stages of development and will be launching soon. Together, they form a powerful duo for growers who want more control, more clarity, and more confidence in every cycle.

We’re excited to be back. We’re proud of what’s coming. And we’re grateful to every grower who stuck with us through the wait.

Let’s grow.
