PCS Grow A & B | Complete 2-Part Vegetative Base Nutrient Australia
Quick Answer
- Two part vegetative base, Grow A (NPK 2-0-0) and Grow B (NPK 2-2-6), covering the full nutrient spread a plant needs through veg.
- Add Grow A to water first and mix well, then add Grow B. Never combine the two concentrates directly.
- Feed guide runs 3.5ml per litre weeks 1 to 3, stepping to 4ml per litre weeks 4 to 6. Treat this as a ceiling to build toward, not a starting dose.
- Target EC depends on how dialled in your environment is and the cultivar you're running, use the feed guide dose as your reference point rather than chasing a fixed number. Target pH 5.8 to 6.2 throughout.
- Suits hydroponic, coco and soil systems.
- Sizes: 1L, 5L, 20L, with 200L and 1000L available for commercial orders.
Australia's newest hydroponic nutrient line. Built with the highest quality minerals and made right here in Australia. The same level of mineral purity as the best imported brands, without the import price tag.
Nitrogen drives the leaf and stem growth a plant needs to build a functional canopy, but on its own it does not hold that structure together. Calcium is what actually strengthens developing cell walls as new growth forms, and magnesium sits at the centre of every chlorophyll molecule the plant produces to photosynthesise. PCS Grow A&B supplies all three from day one, Grow A carrying the nitrogen, Grow B carrying the calcium, potassium and magnesium.
That combination matters most in the situations where calcium and magnesium tend to fall short first, RO water, naturally soft tap water, or coco coir, where a plant fed on nitrogen alone can push out fast leaf growth that is structurally weak or pale at the margins before a deficiency is even obvious. Running Grow A&B together from week one means that structural and photosynthetic support is already in the feed rather than something added later once a symptom has appeared, which shows up as sturdier stems and more even leaf colour carrying through into flower.
How to Use
Add Grow A to your reservoir water first and mix thoroughly, then add Grow B and mix again. Keeping the two apart until they are diluted stops the calcium and phosphate compounds reacting before they have had a chance to dissolve properly. Check pH once both parts are in, since adding two concentrates will move the reading and it is rarely correct straight off the bat.
The feed guide runs 3.5ml per litre through weeks 1 to 3, then 4ml per litre from week 4 to week 6. Treat that top dose as a ceiling to build toward across the grow rather than a fixed starting dose, since how much a plant can actually use depends on how dialled in your environment is and the cultivar you're running, both of which shift through the different stages of veg. Start lower and work up as your root health and conditions prove stable. Flush with pH 6.0 adjusted water weekly from week 2 onward to stop residual salts building up between changes.
Suitable For
Hydroponic, coco and soil systems.
Frequently Bought Together
- PCS Bloom A&B, switch across once the plant moves into flower, the flowering counterpart to this base.
- PCS Seaweed, runs alongside Grow A&B from week 1 at 2ml per litre, supports root activity rather than feeding N, P or K directly.
- PCS Cal-Mag + Fe, part of the feed guide every week of veg, tops up calcium, magnesium and iron on top of what the base already carries.
- PCS Enzyme, a root zone job rather than a feeding one, breaks down organic matter at the root line.
- Bluelab Combo Meter, the tool that actually confirms where pH and EC landed after mixing, rather than guessing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I mix Grow A and Grow B together, or one at a time?
Add Grow A to water first and mix well, then add Grow B. Do not combine the two concentrates directly with each other before they are diluted, since the calcium in Grow A can react with phosphate in Grow B at full strength. Check and adjust pH once both parts are mixed in.
What EC should I run with PCS Grow A&B?
There isn't a single fixed number to target. How much EC a plant can actually use depends on environmental stability and the cultivar you're running, which changes throughout veg, so build up gradually using the feed guide dose as your reference rather than feeding to a specific EC from day one.
Is PCS Grow A&B suitable for coco and soil, or hydro only?
It is formulated for use across hydroponic, coco and soil cultivation.
What sizes does PCS Grow A&B come in?
1L, 5L and 20L are stocked here, with 200L and 1000L available directly from PCS for larger commercial setups.
