As a gardener you want your plants to thrive and produce bountiful blooms. One of the best ways to maximize your flowering plants’ health and yields is to use a high-quality top dress. Top dressing simply means applying a thin layer of nutrients or soil amendments on the surface of potting soil or garden beds. This allows the plants to get an extra boost of nourishment right when they need it most – during the flowering stage. Build a Flower Top Dress from BuildASoil is a top-notch flowering plant fertilizer that can take your blossoms to the next level.
What is Build a Flower Top Dress?
Build a Flower Top Dress is an organic dry amendment created by the expert horticulturists at BuildASoil. It contains a diverse blend of rich composts, organic nutrients biochar, and other ingredients that flowering plants crave. This all-purpose mix has the perfect ratio of phosphorus and potassium to stimulate bountiful blooms and fruit production. It also contains plenty of organic matter and micronutrients to foster overall plant vigor.
Unlike synthetic chemical fertilizers Build a Flower derives its nutrients from natural sources like high-phosphorus rice bran fish bone meal, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and worm castings. This organic formulation promotes biological soil life and the formation of beneficial fungi, which help plants absorb nutrients. Chemical salts found in conventional fertilizers simply aren’t as bioavailable for plant uptake.
When and How Should It Be Applied?
Build a Flower Top Dress is designed for use during the flowering and fruiting stages. The best time to apply it is when you switch your plants’ lighting schedule to induce budding. Reapply every 2-4 weeks up until the final weeks of flowering. Top dressing too late can potentially cause excessive vegetative growth.
Application is easy – simply sprinkle 1-2 inches evenly across the soil surface around your plants. Then water it in well to dissolve any water-soluble nutrients and incorporate the dressing into the top layer of soil where root uptake occurs. It’s an effortless way to give your ladies a periodic feeding. The mild organic formulation won’t burn plants if slightly overapplied.
Build a Flower can be used in both indoor and outdoor gardens. It’s ideal for boosting flowering annuals, perennials, vegetables that bear fruit, and of course – cannabis. The balanced nutrients will lead to bigger blooms and higher resin production. It’s also safe for use in organic gardening.
Why Choose Build a Flower Over Other Bloom Boosters?
There are certainly no shortage of chemical bloom boosters on the market that provide a quick hit of phosphorus. However, Build a Flower has some major advantages:
-
It contains a diversity of organic ingredients that provide well-rounded nutrition, not just P and K. Plants need more than two macronutrients to thrive.

Ingredients That Make It So Effective
Now let’s take a closer look at some of the ingredients that make Build a Flower such a powerful organic bloom booster:
Worm Castings
Worm castings are essentially composted earthworm manure. As worm castings break down in soil, they release nutrients in plant-available forms. Castings are especially high in phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. Their humic acids also enhance nutrient uptake.
Alfalfa Meal
Alfalfa is a legume hay that’s dried and ground into meal. It provides a natural source of nitrogen, potassium, calcium, iron, and many vitamins. Alfalfa stimulates abundant flowering and fruit production.
Kelp Meal
Kelp meal provides over 60 trace minerals and growth-promoting hormones like cytokinins and auxins that stimulate flowering and fruiting. It’s also high in potassium.
Crustacean Meal
A natural source of chitin, calcium, and proteins. It strengthens plants’ defenses against diseases and pests. The calcium helps develop thicker stems and cell walls.
Biochar
Specialized biochar inoculated with mycorrhizae and beneficial microbes. It retains moisture and nutrients while fostering healthy populations of root-colonizing fungi.
High-P Rice Bran
A plant-derived source of phosphorus and potassium that won’t burn plants like mined rock phosphate can. It also contains ample B vitamins.
Gypsum
Provides abundant calcium and sulfur. Calcium strengthens cell walls and improves fruit quality and shelf life. Sulfur enhances flavors.
Convenient Sizing Options
Build a Flower Top Dress comes in a few different sizes to suit the needs of small home gardens up to large-scale commercial growing.
- 1 gallon bag – perfect for topping off a few large containers
- 1/2 cubic foot bag – treats approximately 16-32 square feet
- 1 cubic foot bag – treats approximately 32-64 square feet
- Bulk sacks and pallets – for commercial growers; contains up to 50 cubic foot sacks
The bigger sizes are much more cost-effective if you’re feeding a sizable garden area. A little bit of this dense dressing goes a long way since you only need a light sprinkling.
Give Your Plants What They Crave
If your goal is to maximize the number of flowers and fruits that your garden produces, Build a Flower Top Dress is up to the task. This highly-concentrated organic mix provides the ideal ratios of phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients that bloom-boosters need. It nourishes both the plants and the living microbiome in soil that makes nutrients accessible to roots. Unlike synthetic salts, it strengthens your overall soil quality each time it’s applied.
