FoxFarm Cultivation Nation Micro Fertilizer 5-0-1 | 16oz - Step 2 for 3-Part Feeding Programs

Step 2 Micronutrient Feed for the 3-Part Cultivation Nation System, 16oz

Macronutrients get most of the attention in a feeding program, but trace elements are just as capable of bottlenecking growth when they run short, and a program built only around N-P-K can leave that gap unaddressed. FoxFarm Cultivation Nation Micro 5-0-1 is the second step in FoxFarm's Cultivation Nation sequence, following Grow to round out the micronutrient side of the feeding program before Bloom carries the plant into flowering.

The 16oz size is a manageable working volume for growers adding Micro to a Cultivation Nation program on a small scale.

Key Features & Benefits

• 5-0-1 NPK with a micronutrient focus — leans on nitrogen and trace elements rather than phosphorus, which the later Bloom step supplies instead.
• Step 2 of 3 — bridges the vegetative Grow step and the flowering Bloom step in the Cultivation Nation sequence.
• Liquid micronutrient formula — mixes into water at the rate set by the Cultivation Nation feeding schedule.
• Designed to run alongside Grow — overlaps with the vegetative stage rather than replacing it outright.

Who Should Use Cultivation Nation Micro

Growers already running Cultivation Nation Grow who want the trace-element side of the program covered before transitioning into Bloom are the fit for Micro, since it's built to close a gap the N-P-K-focused steps on either side of it don't address.

About Fox Farms

Out of Humboldt County, California since 1984, FoxFarm structures its Cultivation Nation line as three sequential liquids rather than one all-in-one formula, giving Micro a dedicated role supplying trace elements between the vegetative and flowering steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Micro and Grow?

Grow (Step 1) is built around nitrogen and potassium for vegetative structure, while Micro (Step 2) shifts the focus to trace elements the plant needs alongside that structural growth. The two commonly overlap for a stretch rather than one abruptly stopping before the other starts.

What micronutrients does Cultivation Nation Micro supply?

It's formulated to deliver the trace-element side of the Cultivation Nation program, complementing the macronutrients Grow and Bloom provide at their respective stages. Consult the product label for the full micronutrient breakdown.

When do I introduce Micro into the feeding schedule?

Micro follows Grow and typically overlaps with it for part of the vegetative stage, then continues until Bloom takes over as flowering begins. The FoxFarm Cultivation Nation feeding schedule lays out the specific timing and dilution.

Does Micro work in hydroponic systems?

Yes, the Cultivation Nation program is built for soil, soilless, and hydroponic growing environments. Follow the feeding schedule for the dilution rate suited to the system in use.
