Full product description
GreenPlanet Horti Grow is a concentrated powdered base nutrient designed to provide complete and balanced nutrition throughout the vegetative growth stage.
With an NPK ratio of 8-11-21, plus magnesium, sulphur and essential micronutrients, Horti Grow delivers the broad nutrient profile required to encourage lush green foliage, vigorous growth and healthy plant structure. It prepares plants to enter the flowering or fruiting stage with a strong nutritional foundation.
The highly soluble powdered formula mixes directly into water, making it suitable for nutrient reservoirs, hydroponic systems, coco substrates and soil-based growing programs. It can also be used with dosing equipment and commercial nutrient delivery systems.
Horti Grow is intended to be paired with GreenPlanet Horti Cal during vegetative growth. The official HORTI feed chart recommends Horti Grow at 100 grams per 100 litres of water alongside Horti Cal at 75 grams per 100 litres, targeting an EC of approximately 1.8 when starting with zero-EC water.

Directions for Use
Vegetative Growth Rate
Mix:
- Horti Grow: 100 grams per 100 litres of water
- Equivalent to 1 gram per litre
- Horti Cal: 75 grams per 100 litres
- Equivalent to 0.75 grams per litre
The official HORTI program targets an EC of approximately 1.8 during vegetative growth. This target is based on water with an initial EC of 0.0, so the quantity may need to be reduced when using mineral-rich tap water.
Common Mixing Quantities
| Water Volume | Horti Grow | Horti Cal |
|---|---|---|
| 10 L | 10 g | 7.5 g |
| 20 L | 20 g | 15 g |
| 50 L | 50 g | 37.5 g |
| 100 L | 100 g | 75 g |
Mixing Instructions
- Fill the reservoir with clean water.
- Measure the required quantity of Horti Grow.
- Add the powder to the water and mix thoroughly until completely dissolved.
- Add Horti Cal according to the HORTI feeding chart.
- Check and adjust the nutrient strength using an EC meter.
- Adjust the final nutrient solution to approximately pH 5.8–6.3.
- Maintain the nutrient solution at approximately 18–23°C.
For run-to-waste systems, GreenPlanet recommends achieving at least 10% runoff to help prevent mineral salt accumulation in the growing medium.
Always begin with a lighter nutrient strength when feeding young plants, sensitive varieties or plants growing under lower light intensity.
