Cutting Edge Solutions Feeding Schedule

About Cutting Edge Solutions

Cutting Edge Solutions is a Northern California line that has been around long enough to have a genuinely loyal base. The programme is mineral-based and quite lean — Micro, Grow and Bloom as the core, with Mag Amped, Plant Amp, Sugaree, Uncle John’s Blend and Bulletproof filling out the cycle.

What people like about it is the control. The base is not overloaded with extras, so you add what your water and media actually need rather than paying for a pre-mixed compromise. That makes it a reasonable choice if you have a water report and know what you are correcting for.

Feed chart tables

Cutting Edge Solutions publishes five separate charts (Basic and Pro, for both the liquid line and the Louder Powder™ dry line, plus a Foliar reference sheet) and a matching pair for the Elemental Family™ additives. All seven are reproduced below exactly as printed, alongside the PDFs above.

‡ Cutting Edge Solutions’ own PDF draws one wide ruled cell spanning both the “Early Flower” and “Late Flower” columns for these rows — confirmed against the chart’s own cell borders, not just the printed number’s position on the page — so the same figure is shown in both columns here rather than split or guessed at.

humtea® is not dosed on the Elemental Family per-stage grid above. Both Elemental Family charts instead say to apply it at seedling transplant and repeat every 2 weeks; the manufacturer's more detailed usage rates (by application type — minimal, seedlings/cuttings/clones, established plants, raised bed) are on the PDF itself, linked above.

A small number of stray duplicate glyphs (an isolated “5mL” printed twice at identical coordinates, landing inside an already-filled Transition cell) appear in the source files' underlying text layer on three of the seven charts. They do not correspond to any ruled cell in the printed chart and were excluded as a template artifact, not published data.

A dash means the manufacturer's chart lists nothing for that product at that stage.

Figures as published by Cutting Edge Solutions (CES_Feed_Charts_PDF.pdf and ElementalFamilyFeedCharts.pdf). Feeding charts are recommendations only. Adjustments may be needed based on environmental conditions, your grow structure, and any additional products you run. Actual results vary.
