Complete Nutrient Packages
Nutrient packages bundle the core products of a complete feeding program -- base nutrients, Cal-Mag, and additives -- into a single kit at reduced cost, with all components from the same brand formulated to work together. This collection covers multi-brand complete nutrient packages for conventional and organic growing programs: General Hydroponics Flora Series, Emerald Harvest, Fox Farm, Cultured Solutions, Botanicare, Remo Nutrients, and others. Package formats range from small trial kits (quart sizes suitable for 1-2 grow cycles in a single tent) through large program kits covering a full season of production.
Selecting the Right Package
Key selection factors: growing method (soil, coco, rockwool, deep water culture each benefit from formulas matched to the medium's buffering characteristics), base nutrient system (two-part, three-part, or single-part), and production scale. General Hydroponics Flora Series packages are the most widely compatible nutrient system -- the three-part formula works across soil, coco, and hydroponic systems by adjusting part ratios per the GH feeding chart. Emerald Harvest packages are formulated specifically for coco and hydroponic production with higher baseline Cal-Mag delivery. Fox Farm packages include Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom -- a program designed for soil and soilless container growing.

Complete Kits vs. Individual Products
Packages offer 10-20% cost savings versus buying components individually and guarantee product compatibility within the brand program. Browse all nutrients, soil and soilless packages, or organic nutrient packages. Use our Nutrient Mixing Calculator. Fast shipping.
Nutrient Packages FAQ
How do I choose between different nutrient package brands?
The primary factors are growing medium, growing method, and your preference for organic vs. synthetic inputs. General Hydroponics Flora Series is the most versatile -- used successfully in soil, coco, rockwool, DWC, and virtually every hydroponic method, with decades of documented performance. Emerald Harvest is formulated for high-performance coco and hydroponic programs with a simplified two-part base. Fox Farm is favored for soil and container growing with an organic-leaning profile. Cultured Solutions is designed specifically for recirculating DWC programs. For first-time growers, starting with a package from a well-documented brand and following the brand's feeding chart closely produces more consistent results than mixing products from multiple brand systems.
What is included in a General Hydroponics Flora Series package?
The General Hydroponics Flora Series Basic Hydroponic Nutrient Package includes the three-part Flora Series base (FloraMicro, FloraGro, FloraBloom) in the package size specified (small = quart, medium = half gallon, large = gallon of each). The three-part system covers all essential macro and micronutrients across the full crop cycle by adjusting the ratio of the three parts per the GH feeding schedule -- higher FloraMicro and FloraGro during vegetative stages, higher FloraBloom during flowering. The package does not typically include Cal-Mag (sold separately) -- add a separate Cal-Mag supplement when using RO or soft water, or when growing in coco coir.
How long does a nutrient package last for one grow tent?
For a single 4x4 tent growing 4-9 plants through an 8-week vegetative and 8-10 week flowering cycle, a "small" package (quart sizes) typically covers 1-2 complete cycles. A "medium" package (half-gallon sizes) covers 2-4 cycles depending on feeding frequency and canopy size. A "large" package (gallon sizes) is appropriate for multiple tents or a full season of production. Consumption varies significantly based on media type (coco and hydroponic use more per week than soil), plant count, and irrigation frequency. If you plan to run the same program consistently, buying the large package format is more economical per cycle.
