Base Nutrients – Essential Feeding for Healthy Plant Growth

Base nutrients provide the fundamental elements your plants need to grow strong, healthy, and productive. Unlike additives or boosters, base feeds supply the core NPK and micronutrients required throughout the entire plant life cycle.

Most base nutrients are split into two stages:
Grow (vegetative) and Bloom (flowering) — ensuring your plants receive exactly what they need at each phase.

Choosing the Right Base Nutrient System

1-Part Base Nutrients
Simple, convenient, and perfect for beginners. One bottle covers your full feeding needs with minimal mixing.

2-Part (A&B) Base Nutrients
The most popular option, offering better control and stronger results. Part A and Part B are mixed at different strengths depending on plant size and growth stage.

3-Part Base Nutrients
Ideal for growers who want flexibility. These systems allow you to adjust nutrient ratios precisely for changing conditions, plant demands, and different media types.

Organic vs. Mineral Base Nutrients

Base nutrients can be organic or mineral (non-organic):

• Organic base nutrients are best suited to soil growing and natural-style gardening.

• Mineral base nutrients are clean, consistent, and ideal for coco, rockwool, water-based systems, and hydroponics, where organic formulas may cause blockages.

You’ll also find soft water, hard water, coco-specific, and hydro-specific formulations so you can match your nutrient to your setup.
