VitaLink Hydro MAX Bloom A&B – Hydroponic Flowering Feed, Made for Your Water

A plant in flower is a plant at full stretch, building flowers and fruit at the fastest rate of its life. That's exactly when a feed that's slightly wrong for your tap water shows up as a deficiency you can't explain. Hydro MAX Bloom is made in Hard Water and Soft Water versions so the balance is right from the first drop. It's a highly concentrated two-part flowering nutrient for every kind of hydroponic system, packed with the phosphorus and potassium flowers and fruit demand, plus fulvic acid and EDDHA-chelated iron that stays available across a wide pH range.

Perfect For

Hydroponic fruiting crops: tomatoes, chillies, peppers, cucumbers and strawberries
All hydro systems: deep water culture, NFT, aeroponics, flood and drain, and run-to-waste drip
Any inert medium: clay pebbles, perlite, rockwool and Mapito
Semi-hydro houseplants: flowering Anthuriums and orchids in LECA, at the low end of the dose

Key Benefits

Two-part A&B formula, highly concentrated so it goes a long way
Hard Water and Soft Water versions matched to your tap water
Fulvic acid and chelated micronutrients for efficient uptake
EDDHA iron stays available even at higher pH
Very stable mixed solution, ideal for recirculating systems
Doesn't affect the flavour of fruit and vegetables

Hard or Soft Water?

Test your tap water's EC, or check your water company's hardness data by postcode. EC 0.0–0.3 or rain/RO water: choose Soft Water. EC 0.4–0.5: either works. EC above 0.5: choose Hard Water. Much of England, including the Midlands, the South and the East, has hard water.

How to Use

Shake both bottles well. Add equal amounts of A and B, at 3–4ml of each per litre of water, stirring between parts. Never mix A and B together undiluted. Adjust pH to 5.8–6.5 if needed. Switch from Hydro MAX Grow when flowers start to form.

🌿 Rose's Pro-Tip: in recirculating systems, top up with plain water between full reservoir changes. Plants drink faster than they feed, so topping up with full-strength nutrient slowly pushes the EC higher than you meant.
