Vegamatrix Feeding Schedule

About Vegamatrix

Vegamatrix is a vegan-organic line — no animal inputs at all, which is unusual in a category built largely on fish, bone and guano. It was developed with Kyle Kushman and the range is named accordingly: Grow, Bloom, Boost, Veg+Bloom Hydrate, Shine and Get Down.

It is aimed at soil and coco growers who want organic inputs without animal by-products, and it is one of the few lines that can honestly claim it.

The feed chart

All chart measurements are in ml/gal, except the vegetable chart below (per gallon). A "0" cell is the manufacturer’s own printed value for that week, not a blank.

Vegamatrix vegetable feeding chart — per gallon
Nutrient Application rate (per gallon)

BOOST (CaMg) 2 ML/Gal every other week for all 12 weeks.
AMP-IT 1-2 ML/Gal every other week for all 12 weeks.
PRIME ZYME 1 ML/Gal every other week for all 12 weeks.
PHYRE 2 ML/Gal every other week for all 12 weeks.
HYPHA 2 ML/Gal every other week for all 12 weeks.

For outdoor cultivation, feed Vegamatrix every other watering — this applies to every schedule above, per the manufacturer’s own chart.

The manufacturer’s chart notes that the 50% reduced-input rates in its header only apply when the grower is also using PHYRE, HYPHA and its Veganic Supersoil Recipe together; the week-by-week figures in the tables above are the manufacturer’s standard (non-reduced) rates.

Vegamatrix works best in soil/soilless media enriched with beneficial bacteria, and is designed to be fed with every watering. It works well with all media types, but is not suitable for flood-and-drain repeat-use reservoirs — use only as drain-to-waste.

Every 2-4 weeks, the manufacturer suggests a single watering with only Prime Zyme and PHYRE.

Mix nutrients within 24-36 hours of use.

Vegamatrix nutrients are bio-available over a pH range of 5.5-6.5 and rarely need pH adjusting; check the soil pH or run-off to confirm levels stay in that range.

Water supply affects how often and at what strength to use Amp-It — using R.O. water will increase how much Amp-It a plant needs.

Hard-N-Quick is applied strictly as a foliar spray (not root drench), twice weekly, from mid-vegetative through the early flowering stage — the “(1-2x/week)” figures in the tables above are this foliar rate, not an additional root-drench dose.

Inoculate all transplants with 5 ml/gal of PHYRE and 5 ml/gal of HYPHA.
