Base Nutrients
Base nutrients are the core feed a plant needs throughout a grow, formulated to match the growing medium you’re using. You’ll find options for soil, coco and hydro systems here, along with organic alternatives, in either two-part A&B systems or simpler all-in-one formulas. Every product is selected by our team and stocked in the UK for fast dispatch.
Shop Base Nutrients by Growing Medium
- Soil : Choose a Grow and Bloom formula matched to each stage if you're growing in soil.
- Coco :Choose a two-part A&B nutrient balanced for coco coir's nutrient availability.
- Hydro : Choose an A&B nutrient formulated for hydroponic and recirculating systems.
- Organic Nutrients : Choose an organically derived feed if you're avoiding mineral or synthetic inputs.
Should You Choose a Two-Part or All-in-One Base Nutrient?
Two-Part (A&B) Systems
You mix Part A and Part B together before feeding, which gives you more precise control over the nutrient ratio at each growth stage.
All-in-One Formulas
You feed straight from a single bottle, which simplifies your routine and reduces the number of variables you need to manage.
FAQs
Do I need different base nutrients for soil, coco and hydro?
Yes each medium releases and holds nutrients differently, so a nutrient formulated for the wrong medium won't perform as intended.
What's the difference between a two-part and an all-in-one nutrient?
A two-part system gives you more control by mixing separately; an all-in-one feeds straight from one bottle.
Can I switch base nutrient brands partway through a grow?
Yes, but introduce the change gradually and monitor your plants, since formulations vary between brands.
Do organic base nutrients work in hydroponic systems?
Some do, but check the specific product organic nutrients can behave differently in recirculating hydro systems.
Do I still need boosters if I'm using an all-in-one formula?
Not essential an all-in-one covers core feeding, though boosters can still support a specific stage.
