Vitalink Turbo+ — Plant Growth Biostimulant & Flowering Accelerator
Best for: Growers wanting noticeable gains in plant size, density, and yield without pushing their nutrient EC or overcomplicating feeding
Our thoughts
This is a proper biostimulant that does what it says on the tin. UK-made, ingredient-transparent, and built around brassinosteroids — plant hormones that actually work. Use it two weeks before flowering onwards and you'll see the difference in size and density. One we recommend a lot for growers wanting to lift yields without guesswork.
Vitalink Turbo+ is a liquid biostimulant designed to supercharge plant metabolism and accelerate flowering performance. It combines L-amino acids, natural seaweed extract, plant hormones, and fulvic acid to trigger faster growth, larger flowers, and heavier yields across all growing systems. Unlike standard PK boosters, Turbo+ works at a cellular level — it doesn't just add phosphorus and potassium, it activates the plant's own growth machinery. The result: robust plants that recover faster from stress, flower more densely, and produce bigger harvests. All without spiking your nutrient EC.
How it compares
Vitalink Turbo+ sits in the performance biostimulant category, competing directly with Canna Boost Accelerator and SHOGUN Sumo Boost. Here's the reality:
-
vs. Canna Boost: Similar performance, clearer ingredient list, UK-made heritage. Canna is more recognisable; Turbo+ is better value and transparent about what's actually in it
-
vs. SHOGUN Sumo Boost: Comparable strength and results. Both are UK-based. Turbo+ leans harder on brassinosteroids and seaweed extracts; Sumo Boost markets itself as "twice the strength" — but both work equally well at standard dosing
-
vs. PK-only boosters (House & Garden Top Booster, Buddhas Tree PK 9-18): Those are phosphorus-potassium shots. Turbo+ is a metabolic accelerator — it's doing completely different work. You'd use Turbo+ alongside your base nutrients, not instead of them
The key difference: Turbo+ contains brassinosteroids — plant hormones that tell your plants to pack on weight and recover from stress. Most boosters don't. That's why growers notice the difference.
Usage guidance
Turbo+ works across vegetative and flowering stages, but timing matters if you want maximum impact:
Pre-flowering acceleration
Start using Turbo+ roughly two weeks before you flip to flowering (or two weeks before natural flowering outdoors). This preps the plant to explode into flower when the trigger comes. You'll see faster development and stronger initial flower sites.
Throughout flowering
Continue dosing through the entire flowering cycle. This is where the real gains show — larger flower clusters, better density, and noticeably heavier finish weights.
Vegetative growth
You can use it here too. It speeds up growth, strengthens stems, and improves stress tolerance. Perfect if you're recovering plants from damage or pushing for rapid veg growth.
Dosing
Standard rate is 1–2ml per litre of nutrient solution. Start at 1ml/L if you're new to it; move to 2ml/L if you want more aggressive results. In hydroponic recirculating systems, keep the nutrient tank aerated and dose at 1ml/L — no need to push harder.
Application
Shake the bottle well before use — it's a natural product and settles. Add Turbo+ after you've mixed your base nutrients. It won't increase your EC, so there's no risk of nutrient lockout. Works in hydro, coco, and soil equally well.
pH adjustment
If needed, aim for a pH range of 5.8–6.5. Turbo+ won't push your pH dramatically, but check after mixing.

Who this is for
- Growers in the flowering phase wanting noticeably larger, denser flower production
- Anyone running hydroponic, coco, or soil systems without nutrient-EC headaches
- Growers who understand plant physiology and want to work with plant hormones rather than just PK ratios
- Experienced growers looking to squeeze more yield without changing base nutrients
- First-time biostimulant users wanting a transparent, UK-made option
- Growers recovering plants from stress or environmental damage (faster recovery)
- Anyone already using Vitalink base nutrients wanting a matched additive system
Particularly well-suited to growers who've outgrown basic PK boosters and want something that actually moves the needle on size and weight.
Our take
Turbo+ is a genuinely effective biostimulant backed by solid ingredients and UK manufacturing credibility. The brassinosteroid angle isn't marketing fluff — these are plant hormones that work. You'll see bigger flowers, denser clusters, and faster growth. The fact it doesn't spike EC is a bonus; you get metabolic boost without nutrient lock risk.
If you're two weeks away from flowering and want a sensible upgrade to your feeding schedule, worth picking up while clearance stock lasts. Honest product, proper results, no guesswork.
