Base nutrients first
Every program starts with VitaBase — a chelated, pharmaceutical-grade NPK matrix with no bulking agents. Highly soluble, instantly bioavailable, stable across veg and into bloom.
Hydroponics fertilizer
Hydroponic nutrients, engineered as a language.
A complete hydroponics fertilizer line: base nutrients, root activators, structural minerals and bloom inputs — eight products that speak one biological language, from cutting to harvest.
Built for hydro
Calibrated for RO water, coco and recirculating systems. Mix each part separately, keep pH between 5.8 and 6.2, and let the chelation do the work.
Signaling, not just feeding
Patented biostimulant activators make key minerals mobile inside the plant — so less input does more work, and the crop expresses more of its genetic potential.
Foundation
Base nutrients and root activators that carry the whole crop. VitaBase is the broad-spectrum NPK foundation; VitaRoot and Vita Rooting Dip build the rhizosphere everything else depends on.

Propagation
Vita Rooting Dip™
Root cuttings faster, with fewer losses.
Seaweed extract · Humic isolates · Rooting cofactors
View product →Structure
Calcium and silicon — the structural minerals hydroponic plants can't source from soil. Cell walls, stress resilience and the second-messenger signaling behind every defense response.
Bloom
Flowering-phase nutrition: the NPK shift, carbohydrate signaling and reproductive support that decide final density and weight.
Mid–Late Bloom
VitaSweet™
Carbohydrate signaling and metabolite enrichment.

The last two weeks. Terpene and metabolite resolution that lifts aroma, flavour and finished value before harvest.

Step-by-step: setting up your hydroponic system
From an empty reservoir to a running system — the same order of operations whether you grow in coco, deep water culture or a recirculating setup.
1. Start with clean water
Use reverse-osmosis or low-EC tap water. Fill the reservoir and let it reach 20–22 °C before adding anything — cold water shocks roots and slows nutrient uptake.
2. Add VitaSilica first
Silicon must go in before any other nutrient or it precipitates. Stir well, then wait a minute before the next product.
3. Add the base nutrient
VitaBase next, one part at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Never pour concentrates directly into each other — always into water.
4. Add the phase additives
Rooting, veg or bloom products depending on the week — see the week-by-week plan below. Each one goes in separately, with a good stir between products.
5. Check and set pH
Measure after everything is mixed. Adjust to 5.8–6.2; the chelated formula holds nutrients available across that whole band.
6. Check EC before plants go in
Around 1.4 EC for young plants, rising gradually toward 2.2 EC at peak flower. If EC reads high, dilute with plain water — never top up with more nutrient.
7. Run and monitor
Check pH and EC daily. Top up with pH-adjusted water between reservoir changes, and replace the full solution every 7–10 days.
Week-by-week feeding plan
The standard 10-week Vitaponix program: two weeks of rooting, four weeks of vegetative growth and four weeks of flowering. All doses in ml per litre of water.
| Weeks | Phase | Products and doses |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Rooting | VitaBase (half strength) + VitaRoot 1 ml/L |
| Week 2 | Rooting | VitaBase + VitaRoot 2 ml/L + VitaSilica 1 ml/L (VitaSilica continues weekly until harvest) |
| Weeks 3–6 | Vegetative | VitaBase (rise gradually toward full strength) + VitaSweet 1 ml/L + VitaSilica 1 ml/L. Repeat VitaRoot 2 ml/L at transplant. |
| Weeks 7–8 | Early flower | VitaBase + VitaSweet 1 ml/L + VitaSilica 1 ml/L |
| Weeks 8–10 | Late flower | VitaBud 1 ml/L for the final three flowering weeks + VitaSilica 1 ml/L |
| Final 2 weeks | Finish | VitaFinish replaces VitaCal and VitaSweet for the last two weeks before harvest |

How to feed with the Vitaponix line
Start mild, finish clean
Begin at 1.4 EC in early veg and rise gradually to around 2.2 EC in peak flower. VitaFinish replaces VitaCal and VitaSweet in the final two weeks.
Mix in order
VitaSilica always first, then the rest one at a time, mixing well after each. Never combine concentrates undiluted.
Change the solution
Replace the reservoir completely every 7–10 days, even in recirculating systems.
