Kits de inicio de nutrientes

A nutrient starter kit is a full feed programme in one box – base nutrient, the additives that brand expects you to run alongside it, and a feed chart that tells you what goes in on which week. It removes the single most common failure point for a first grow: guessing.

Why buy a kit rather than bottles

• The chart assumes the set. Every brand's feed chart is written for its own products at its own ratios. Buy the set and the chart works; mix brands and you are on your own.
• Right sizes. You get 1L of the thing you use constantly and 250ml of the thing you use twice, instead of five identical bottles.
• Cheaper. Bundled below the sum of the parts.
• Nothing missing. No discovering in week four that you needed a CalMag.

Match the kit to your medium

Using a soil feed in coco is the most common mistake we see. Coco holds onto calcium and magnesium and releases potassium, so a soil formulation leaves you with a cal-mag deficiency by week three.

Hard or soft water?

Most of the south-east, Croydon included, is hard water. If your kit offers both, take the hard water version – it accounts for the calcium already in your supply. If you run RO or a filtered supply, take the soft water version and expect to add CalMag separately.

What we stock

Starter sets from Canna, Athena, Shogun, Biobizz, Plant Magic, Dutch Pro, House & Garden and Advanced Nutrients. Once you know your programme, top up from base nutrients, flowering boosters and root stimulators individually.

Starter kit FAQs

How long does a kit last?
Most cover one full cycle in a 1.2m tent. Heavier feeders or bigger tents will run out of base before additives.

Can I use half strength?
Yes, and for a first grow you probably should. Charts are written for optimal conditions; start at half and build up while watching the plant.

Do I still need a pH meter?
Yes, in coco and hydro. In organic soil you can usually get away without.
