Plagron Vita Race — Organic Iron Foliar Spray for Growth and Early Flowering
Best for: Growers wanting faster leaf development and greener foliage during the growth phase and early flowering, without premium brand pricing
Our thoughts
Vita Race is a solid foliar feed that does what it's supposed to do — boost chlorophyll, green up your leaves, and give plants a visible energy kick during growth and early bloom. It's organic, easy to use, and pairs nicely with the rest of the Plagron range. One a lot of growers add to their weekly schedule and don't look back.
Plagron Vita Race is an organic iron foliar spray designed to accelerate growth and flowering whilst building stronger, healthier foliage. Applied as a weekly leaf spray, it delivers amino acids, trace elements, and natural plant hormones directly where they're needed — straight into the leaf surface. The iron content triggers chlorophyll production, which means faster photosynthesis, more energy for your plants, and noticeably greener, lusher growth. It works on peat and coco substrates through the growth phase and the first three weeks of flowering, then you step back and let the plant finish.
How it compares
Vita Race sits in the mid-market foliar additive category — properly positioned between basic feeds and premium branded boosters.
- Significantly cheaper per application than Advanced Nutrients or premium equivalents
- Organic formula, suitable for growers working to organic protocols
- Plugs seamlessly into Plagron's complete nutrient ecosystem
- Direct leaf absorption means faster results than root-only feeding
- Not suitable for hydroponic systems (NFT, DWC, aeroponics) — soil and coco only
General consensus in grower forums: when applied correctly at the right time, it delivers visible improvement in leaf vigour and density without the premium markup.
Usage guidance
Vita Race is dead simple to incorporate into your existing schedule.
Weekly foliar application
Mix 5ml per litre of water (1:200 ratio). Spray the leaves early in the day — morning is best, before temperatures climb. Apply enough to make the liquid drip from the foliage. Do this weekly from early growth through to week three of flowering, then stop.
Mixing and stability
After dissolving in water, the solution stays stable for up to 24 hours. Slight cloudiness is normal — that's just the organic ingredients doing their thing. It won't harm your plants.
Substrate compatibility
Works with peat and coco substrates. Not suitable for hydroponic methods like NFT, DWC, or aeroponics.
Expected results
You'll notice greener, denser leaf development, improved resistance to environmental stress (heat, light changes), and a visible energy boost during the critical growth window. Plants will look healthier and have better reserves for flowering.
Technical specifications

Who this is for
- Growers running peat or coco substrates who want faster leaf development
- Anyone looking to strengthen plant resistance during growth and early flowering
- Budget-conscious growers who don't want to pay premium brand prices for a foliar spray
- Growers already using other Plagron products and wanting to keep the ecosystem consistent
- Organic growers needing an approved, certified additive
Less suitable for hydroponic setups (NFT, DWC, aeroponics) — stick with root feeding for those systems.
Our take
Vita Race is a straightforward, affordable foliar feed that delivers visible results without the fuss or the premium cost. It boosts chlorophyll, strengthens leaves, and gives plants exactly what they need during the critical growth window. Easy to use, easy to integrate into your feeding schedule, and it actually works.
Good time to pick up while stock lasts — especially if you're running Plagron base nutrients already. Does the job properly, week in and week out.
