Nectar for the Gods Persephone's Palate, 1 Gallon

Nectar for the Gods® Persephone's Palate™ Calcium Syrup — 1 Gallon

Persephone's Palate is Nectar for the Gods' answer to the use of molasses in a feeding regiment. The calcium in the lignin acts as a microbial food while the lignin sulphonate acts as a chelating agent — large, organic molecules that envelop highly-reactive trace metal ions. The purpose of chelates is to incorporate metal ions like magnesium, boron, and zinc into a soluble but bound form that is capable of supplying nutrients to the plants. As the chelate breaks down, the metal ion micronutrients are slowly released into the soil in a bioavailable form that may then be taken up by the plant.

The presence of Sulfate has been known to enhance the natural aromas and flavors of plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nectar for the Gods Persephone's Palate and what does it do?

Nectar for the Gods® Persephone's Palate™ is a calcium lignosulfonate syrup designed as a premium alternative to molasses in a plant feeding program. It serves a dual function: the calcium component feeds beneficial soil microorganisms, while the lignosulfonate acts as a chelating agent that binds trace metal ions like magnesium, boron, and zinc into a soluble, bioavailable form. As the chelate slowly breaks down in the soil, these micronutrients are released directly to plant roots. The sulfate content is also known to enhance the natural aromas and flavors of plants — making it a favorite among growers focused on terpene and flavor development.

How does Persephone's Palate differ from using molasses in a feeding program?

While molasses is a common microbial food source in organic growing, Persephone's Palate offers a more targeted and multifunctional approach. Molasses primarily provides simple sugars for microbial activity. Persephone's Palate delivers calcium for cell wall integrity and microbial nutrition, lignosulfonate chelation for micronutrient bioavailability, and sulfate compounds that enhance plant terpene and flavor profiles. This makes it a more complete and precise input than standard molasses, particularly for growers using the full Nectar for the Gods® nutrient system.

What is the application rate for Persephone's Palate and when should it be used?

During both vegetative growth and the bloom phase, mix 1 tablespoon (TBS) per gallon of water, adjust pH to 6.4–6.8, and apply every time you feed. Shake well before use. Persephone's Palate is designed for use throughout the entire crop cycle and works synergistically with other Nectar for the Gods® inputs. It is compatible with soil and organic growing systems and can be used as a root drench.

Can Persephone's Palate improve the flavor and aroma of my plants?

Yes — the sulfate compounds in Persephone's Palate are known to enhance the natural aromas and flavors of plants. This is particularly relevant for growers focused on terpene development, flavor quality, and overall sensory profile of their harvest. By supporting chelation of micronutrients and feeding soil biology throughout the grow cycle, Persephone's Palate contributes to a more complete nutritional environment that supports robust terpene and flavor expression.
