An all-round tonic that boosts your crop in multiple areas by harnessing the raw power of natural plant extracts. Add it to your routine, and you can expect to see faster, healthier growth from the root zone up. Use along with Moonshine Foliar Spray for an even greater effect.

Moonshine is used in both the grow and bloom phases, but the effects are most apparent during late flower. Moonshine can shave time off the flowering cycle for a quicker turnaround and a more productive garden overall. It will enhance aromas by boosting terpene production and will also increase the size and density of fruits – thanks to the inclusion of an array of sugars and amino acids.
