Veg+Bloom Feeding Schedule

About Veg+Bloom

Veg+Bloom is a dry, water-soluble line, and its distinguishing feature is that the formulations are sold by water type. There are versions blended for RO water and versions blended for tap — so instead of buying a Cal-Mag to correct a base that assumed the wrong water, you buy the base that already assumed yours.

The range is short: a veg formula, a bloom formula, and Shine as a finishing additive. Powder means low shipping weight and long shelf life, which is why it turns up in commercial rooms.

Feed chart tables

Hydroponic Research (Veg+Bloom's parent brand) publishes this chart as three parallel tables at MEDIUM feed strength — one per base formulation, matched to your water and growing medium. All three read the same dose numbers per phase; what changes is which bag of Veg+Bloom base you are dosing from (RO/Soft, the soil/peat-only Dirty formulation, or Tap/Hard), because each base is pre-adjusted for that water going in. +LIFE, STAX, SHINE and PUSH are Hydroponic Research's own supplement products, dosed the same across all three tables.

The manufacturer's chart prints “N/A” where a product is not used at that phase, exactly as shown here — it is the chart's own placeholder, not a missing figure.

The chart labels the second phase “Veg Phase1” (no space) while the three Bloom Phase rows print “Bloom Phase 1/2/3” with a space; shown here as “Veg Phase 1” for consistency. No dose amount is affected.

Figures as published by Veg+Bloom / Hydroponic Research (HR-FEEDCHART-Final-2021.pdf), MEDIUM feed strength as printed — the manufacturer's own chart does not include Light or Heavy strength tables on this document. 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.
