FoxFarm® Cultivation Nation™ Grow 2-1-6 is the foundation of the Cultivation Nation 3-Part liquid feeding system. Formulated to deliver the balanced, nitrogen-driven nutrition plants need during the vegetative stage, Grow sets the stage for strong stems, lush foliage, and a healthy canopy structure that supports peak performance all the way through harvest.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2-1-6 NPK Ratio: A vegetative-stage formula with moderate nitrogen and potassium to drive leaf and stem expansion while building structural integrity throughout the canopy.
• Step 1 of the Cultivation Nation System: Designed to work seamlessly with Cultivation Nation Micro (Step 2) and Cultivation Nation Bloom (Step 3) for complete, season-long nutrition.
• Liquid Concentrate: Fast uptake and easy mixing — simply measure and add to your nutrient reservoir or irrigation water at the recommended rate.
• Broad Growing System Compatibility: Suitable for soil, soilless media, coco coir, rockwool, and all hydroponic delivery systems including DWC, NFT, drip, ebb & flow, and aeroponics.
• Professional-Grade Results: Trusted by commercial growers and serious hobbyists who need consistent, repeatable results across multiple growing cycles.

Who Should Use This

Cultivation Nation Grow is ideal for indoor cultivators, greenhouse operators, and hydroponic growers who are running a structured 3-part liquid feeding program and need a reliable, high-quality vegetative base nutrient. It is particularly well suited to growers who want a complete FoxFarm feeding system from one trusted brand.

Compatibility

Cultivation Nation Grow works with all common growing substrates including soil, peat-based soilless mixes, coco coir, rockwool, and hydroton, and is compatible with all major hydroponic delivery methods. For best results, pair with Cultivation Nation Micro (Step 2) during vegetative growth, then transition to Cultivation Nation Bloom (Step 3) at the onset of flowering. Use FoxFarm Cultivation Nation pH Down to maintain optimal solution pH (5.5–6.5 for hydro, 6.0–7.0 for soil).

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start using Cultivation Nation Grow?

Begin using Cultivation Nation Grow from early vegetative growth, shortly after transplant, and continue through the vegetative stage until the first signs of flowering appear. At that point, transition to Cultivation Nation Bloom (Step 3).

Do I use all three parts at the same time?

The Cultivation Nation 3-Part system is designed to be used in sequence, but many growers use Grow and Micro together during the vegetative stage before transitioning to Bloom. Follow the FoxFarm feed chart for specific ratios and timing during each phase.

What is the recommended mixing order for the 3-part system?

Always add each nutrient to water separately, starting with Grow, then Micro, then Bloom. Mix thoroughly between each addition. Never premix the concentrates together directly.

Is Cultivation Nation Grow suitable for organic growing?

Cultivation Nation Grow is a conventional synthetic fertilizer designed for maximum solubility and precision feeding. For organic-certified growing programs, consider FoxFarm’s OMRI-listed products from the Bush Doctor line.

What pH range should I maintain when using Cultivation Nation Grow?

FoxFarm recommends maintaining a pH of 6.0–7.0 for soil applications and 5.5–6.5 for hydroponic systems when using the Cultivation Nation line. Use FoxFarm Cultivation Nation pH Down to adjust if needed.
