Feed a standard nutrient designed around a hard-water background and you end up short on calcium and magnesium, which shows as slow growth, weak roots and poor nutrient uptake no matter how high you push EC. RO\/SOFT is balanced for that empty starting water, so the ratios land where they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater source:\u003c\/strong\u003e use with RO water or soft tap water with a starting \u003cstrong\u003eEC below 0.3\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e add to the tank and mix until fully dissolved before adjusting anything else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVeg and bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e run as your single base nutrient across the complete growth cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom week 3 of flower:\u003c\/strong\u003e add \u003cstrong\u003eShine\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003ePK 22-12\u003c\/strong\u003e) for enhanced flower and fruit development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard water areas:\u003c\/strong\u003e switch to the Tap\/Hard version rather than compensating by eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e check and adjust the finished solution to suit coco or hydro before feeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e All-in-one powdered base nutrient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater type:\u003c\/strong\u003e RO water or soft water, starting EC below 0.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coco and hydroponics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Macro and micronutrients, amino acids, fulvic acids, bioactive growth stimulants, silica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloped by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydroponic Research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard water alternative:\u003c\/strong\u003e Veg+Bloom Tap\/Hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended booster:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shine, PK 22-12, from week 3 of flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Veg+Bloom","offers":[{"title":"1lb","offer_id":53445684625674,"sku":null,"price":20.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":53445684658442,"sku":null,"price":100.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25lb","offer_id":53445684691210,"sku":null,"price":428.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100lb","offer_id":53445684723978,"sku":null,"price":1548.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/veg-bloom-tap-soft.jpg?v=1785324967","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/veg-bloom-ro-soft-base","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
