It is difficult to imagine modern vegetable growing without fertilizers. Thanks to them, many problems are solved. Organic and mineral fertilizers stimulate the growth of root mass, affect the speed of ripening, protect against pests, and also provide resistance in the event of frost or hot summers. They enrich nutrient-poor soil, making it suitable for farming.
play an equally important role in home floriculture . Many plants would never have pleased us with their flowering without regular feeding, and capricious tropical flowers only withered and became sick.

“HB-101” ... there is a lot of different and contradictory information about this drug, and there are some that are not at all true. Let's try to figure out what its distinctive advantages are, what is unique about its composition, how it works, who produces this drug and how to use it correctly in practice. And also where to buy so as not to run into a fake. Everything is detailed in this material.
Precautionary measures
Basic safety measures when using biological substrates are observed, as elsewhere:
- It is recommended to contact the solution and granules only with gloves;
- When working with granules, we recommend wearing a protective mask;
- When working with the solution, do not drink, eat, or smoke;
- There should be no children or pets nearby.
- It is better to process plants in unprotected soil in the evening, when there is no sun, wind or rain.
If liquid accidentally gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your vision with clean water. Has liquid entered the stomach? Then induce vomiting and drink activated charcoal up to 10 tablets. If symptoms do not subside for about two hours, visit a doctor.
Purpose and application of “HB-101”
"HB-101" is a stimulator/regulator of plant growth or development for universal use. They are also called phytohormones. Strengthens the plant's immunity, protects plants from pathogenic phytopathogens and unfavorable external factors, heals the soil, stimulates plant growth.
Shows excellent results:
- when growing seedlings (plants are strong and healthy, do not overgrow, do not get sick, etc.);
- for cultivating the soil before sowing seeds;
- for pre-sowing seed treatment;
- for spraying ovaries;
- during pre-planting spraying of the root system of seedlings and seedlings;
- when growing plants hydroponically;
- preserves the appearance of cut flowers for a long time (used by florists).
- when restoring dying and weakened plants and many others. etc.
In Russia, the drug “HB-101” is mainly used only on private farms, and in eastern countries it is used in industrial agricultural production.
The drug is used on all vegetable, fruit, berry, ornamental and flower crops, including indoor and greenhouse plants.

Efficiency of use for orchids
Orchids are rather whimsical flowers; they require proper care and a lot of nutrients for development and growth. The most essential element for the health of an orchid is silicon.
The root system of the flower very quickly absorbs this substance from the soil, and the roots begin to weaken, which negatively affects the stem, leaves and inflorescences.
NV 101 contains silicon in large quantities. Thanks to this fertilizer, the flowers acquire a bright color, the plant’s immune system and rhizome are strengthened. Resistance to diseases characteristic of this crop develops.
The orchid should be treated once a week or every ten days. The fertilizer is poured into the soil, the permissible proportion is 1:2 (a liter of water per two drops of the substance). A six milligram bottle is designed from sixty to one hundred and twenty liters.
Before planting flowers outside, fertilizer is carried out according to the following scheme:
- 100 milligrams is diluted with two cubic meters of water, this is enough to fertilize two hectares of land;
- per thousand liters of water there are 50 milligrams of the substance, this is quite enough for one hectare.
Such proportions are ideal for growing and periodic watering using hydroponics, when a special substitute solution is used instead of soil.
This fertilizer does not require special storage, but when preparing the fertilizer it is worth using it immediately. This will enhance efficiency.
Mechanism of action
The principle of action of the drug “HB-101” is based on strengthening (more correctly, activation) of the plant’s immunity and vitality. The drug helps the plant to make full use of its entire biological potential and environmental resources. This is ensured by establishing numerous active connections between the plant and beneficial microelements, enzymes and other microorganisms.
The natural components of “HB-101” have a high biochemical affinity to the enzymes of the plants themselves and are effective even in small doses. Cedar, pine and cypress are centuries-old trees with enormous vitality. The unique protein-mineral complex inherent in these trees is the main secret of their health and longevity. Plantain, in turn, is known for its healing properties and has been widely used in medicine for a long time.
Thus, the drug “HB-101”:
- improves seed germination and increases growth energy;
- activates the protective functions of plants, reduces the risk of infection by phytopathogens;
- increases the resistance of plants to unfavorable conditions (overmoistening of the soil, sudden temperature changes, drought, etc.);
- protects plants and allows them to adapt to not very favorable soils (excessive acidity, salts, etc.).
As a result of this, the color and shape of leaves and flowers improve, and, accordingly, the quality characteristics of the fruits themselves (taste characteristics, appearance, size, etc.). Productivity increases significantly, earlier harvest is possible.
Systematic use of “NV-101” improves the health of the soil and neutralizes the development of soil phytopathogens in it. It is possible to re-plant a crop in the same area.

Advantages and disadvantages
Based on the fact that one bottle contains the required portion of nutrients, we can say that the NV solution has a beneficial effect on the development of the crop at all stages of its formation.
- Let's look at the positive properties of the drug:
- Increasing immunity to pests and basic diseases.
- Guaranteed germination of seed composition.
- Easy adaptation to changing environmental conditions.
- Activation of plant growth and development; it is especially acceptable to use 101 for seedlings.
- Quick harvest.
- Increased productivity.
- Convenient to use in any region, in any climate and soil.
- It does not disturb the soil structure due to neutral acidity.
- Able to reduce the quantitative composition of nitrates in fruits and herbs.
- Extends the shelf life of the harvested crop.
- Easy to use, transportable.
When used, undoubted savings are visible: the main dosage of liquid is 2 drops, and the granules are effective in the ground for up to six months.
But many vegetable growers note that the solution is not compatible with oil-based liquids and urea.
One more nuance: the growth stimulator HB 101 will not give quick results; it is necessary to constantly add a liquid composition to the soil, and the granules begin to act after six months.
If an overdose occurs, it is possible to get the opposite effect.
Be that as it may, all fertilizers and baits should be treated with extreme caution. To a large extent, they belong to waste from the chemical industry. Even on the packaging it says: “concentrated product in liquid form.”
HB 101 belongs to a class of synthetic products that stimulates the growth of vegetation.

They can be replaced, but their composition differs significantly.
How to make hb 101 with your own hands, Vitalizer is easy to make at home. To do this you need:
- Take a container with a volume of 1 liter;
- We take a little of different types of conifers in crushed form - juniper, thuja, pine needles, larch, add fern and horsetail;
- Fill the entire coniferous substrate to the top with vodka;
- The jar of liquid is kept in the dark for up to 10 days;
- After the specified period, 1 tablespoon of solution is added to 1 bucket of water, and the plants are watered.
Preparative form (release format)
a) LIQUID-CONCENTRATE (packing – 0.75 ml., 6 ml., 35 ml., 50 ml., 100 ml., bottles 500 ml. and 1 l., canisters 5 l., 10 l. and 20 l. .).
b) GRANULES (packed in 10 g, 130 g, 300 g and 1 kg). The granular form of the drug HB-101 has a richer composition: manganese, magnesium, silicon, calcium, sodium, potassium, sulfur, zinc, barium, iron, phosphorus, aluminum, rubidium, zirconium, strontium, titanium and a number of others. This variety is ensured thanks to the zeolite from which the granules are composed. Zeolites are silicate minerals that consist primarily of silicon. Zeolites themselves are soil improvers, so-called ameliorants. Zeolites have excellent sorbing properties, which will allow them to be impregnated with extracts (i.e. extracts of cedar, cypress, pine and plantain).

Application for tomato seedlings
Before planting tomato seedlings, the soil must be treated with HB 101. Such soil will allow good bacteria to multiply faster, which will improve the fertility and structure of the soil.
The bushes then develop a powerful root system, the foliage retains its correct shape, and the yield increases several times.
Ripe tomatoes contain a large amount of ascorbic acid and sugar, which allows the picked fruit to retain its presentable appearance for a long time.
Treatment must be carried out before planting seedlings.
Necessary:
- Dissolve 5 milligrams of HB 101 in one hundred milligrams of water (if the plot is no more than one hundred square meters, and if more, the proportion can be calculated independently).
- After 7 days, feeding is repeated, the same is done on day 21.
- Now you should fertilize the seedlings. To do this, you need to immerse the roots in the solution for half an hour (for 1 milligram of the product you need to take 10 liters of liquid or 2 drops per 1 liter).
- To spray planting material, you need to dilute one drop in a liter of water. The procedure is performed once every seven days.
- A positive result will not keep you waiting long. Despite the weather conditions and the initial quality of the seedlings, there will be a lot of tomatoes.
