Yousef Benhamida, better known as Ben within the growing community, was known for producing the best flowers in Southern California. He saw a need in the nutrient additive marketplace and wanted to make an additive so good that it could be used as an All-In-One additive, consolidating multiple additives into one. After a lot of hard work he developed Golden Tree. The name made sense, because any tree that got a taste of it would turn to gold for the grower.
