Total Care is an all-in-one organic soil fertiliser in granular form that feeds both your soil and your plants in a single mix. With a balanced 4-3-5 NPK ratio, beneficial microorganisms, and essential trace elements packed into 220g of granules, it turns 15-20 litres of ordinary soil into a living, nutrient-rich growing medium. One bag, one mix, and your plants are sorted from root to flower. If you want to buy an organic soil fertiliser that actually simplifies your grow rather than complicating it, this is the one to order.
A single organic soil fertiliser amendment replaces multiple bottles of liquid nutrients, pH adjusters, and microbial supplements for most soil grows. Most growers start with liquid nutrients — a bottle for veg, a bottle for bloom, a bottle for cal-mag, another for microbes. Before you know it, you've got six bottles on the shelf and a feeding schedule that looks like a chemistry exam. Total Care takes a different approach: mix the granules into your soil before potting, and the organic nutrients release slowly as the microorganisms break them down. No mixing, no measuring pH every other day, no burning your roots with a miscalculated feed.
The 4-3-5 NPK ratio is deliberately balanced across all growth stages. The nitrogen (4) drives leaf and stem development during veg. The phosphorus (3) contributes to root establishment and flower formation. The potassium (5) — slightly higher than the other two — strengthens cell walls and contributes to the plant's resilience during flowering, which is exactly when your plants need it most. According to research published by Wageningen University & Research, organic fertiliser granules with balanced NPK ratios and microbial inoculants can improve nutrient uptake efficiency in containerised growing media compared to unfed controls. We've seen growers overthink their nutrient ratios for months. This one just works.
The honest limitation? Total Care is a soil amendment, not a complete feeding programme for heavy-feeding plants in late bloom. If you're pushing large plants hard through an 8-10 week flower cycle, you may want a top-dress or supplemental bloom feed in the final weeks. For autos, smaller plants, and the first 6-7 weeks of photoperiod grows, the 220g pack in 15-20 litres of soil covers you without fuss.
The beneficial microorganisms in Total Care are the primary differentiator, colonising the rhizosphere to convert organic matter into plant-available nutrition more efficiently than granules alone. These aren't just nutrients sitting in dirt — they're living cultures that actively work in the zone around your roots. This means your plants can absorb more of what's in the soil, not just what you pour on top. The result, as observed by growers and consistent with findings from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) adjacent agricultural research networks, is fewer deficiencies, better root branching, and a soil structure that stays aerated and well-draining instead of compacting into a brick after three waterings.
The trace elements — humates, vitamins, and essential minerals — fill the gaps that NPK alone misses. Think of them as the difference between eating rice and eating a full meal. Your plant won't die without them, but it won't thrive either. With Total Care, the trace element profile is formulated to contribute to natural pest resistance and stress tolerance, which means less intervention from you and healthier plants overall.
Compared to synthetic slow-release granules like Osmocote, this organic soil fertiliser works with your soil biology rather than bypassing it. Synthetic granules feed the plant directly through salt-based compounds. Organic granules feed the soil, and the soil feeds the plant. The difference shows in root health — organic-fed roots tend to be whiter, denser, and more branched according to grower observations. If you've ever pulled a plant out of its pot and seen a thick, healthy root ball instead of a few sad brown strings, you know what good soil biology looks like.
Total Care contains a 4-3-5 NPK ratio with microorganisms and trace elements in a 220g granular format designed for 15-20 litres of soil.

Complete your soil setup with a quality potting mix and fabric pots for maximum root aeration. Total Care organic soil fertiliser works best in a loose, well-draining medium — pair it with perlite or coco-perlite blends if your base soil runs heavy. If you're growing in a tent, check out the Azarius grow kits that include everything from lighting to ventilation. For pH management, the Azarius pH Control Kit is worth considering alongside any organic soil fertiliser setup.
Using Total Care requires mixing the full 220g pack into 15-20 litres of soil before potting, with no additional base nutrients needed for the first several weeks.
