That’s where HGV Nutrients leads the industry. With a simplified two-step system, advanced water-conditioning solutions, and a track record of award-winning results, HGV delivers the cleanest, most consistent feeding program available today.

What Makes HGV Nutrients Different?
HGV Nutrients is the most researched, best-optimized, and purest plant nutrition formula in the industry—trusted by leading commercial growers for its proven results and ease of use. Every product is blended in-house under strict quality controls, delivering superior solubility, consistency, and performance across all cultivation environments.
Developed by Growers, for Growers
HGV founder Ron Goldman began formulating nutrients in 1989 to improve plant performance in his own greenhouse. Frustrated by overpriced, incomplete nutrient lines, he developed a more effective solution—one that eventually became the foundation for HGV. Today, the brand serves some of the most demanding cannabis operations in the U.S. and beyond.
The Two-Step Feeding System (3-Part Formula)
HGV’s nutrient system includes three formulas, but it functions as a two-step process:
➤ Step 1: Vegetative Phase (1–4 Weeks)
-
HGV BASE (14-0-0)
-
HGV GROW (3-6-22)
→ Delivers complete nutrition for strong root development and lush vegetative growth.
➤ Step 2: Flowering Phase (8–10 Weeks)
-
HGV BASE (14-0-0)
-
HGV FLOWER (0-10-26)
→ Supports flowering demands and enhances bud size, terpene production, and overall quality.
Why This Matters:
-
No switching systems between stages
-
No additional micronutrient supplements
-
BASE is used from start to finish, with either GROW or FLOWER added depending on the stage
Whether you choose dry or liquid, the formula and application rates remain identical, giving you complete control and zero guesswork.
Built for All Grow Methods and Media
HGV Nutrients are compatible with:
-
Hydroponics
-
Coco coir
-
Rockwool
-
Peat mixes
-
Liquid-based fertigation systems
For soil or field use, HGV recommends adjusting application rates based on media retention.
Liquid or Dry? Choose What Fits Your Operation
HGV Nutrients are available in both dry and liquid formats, offering maximum flexibility for cultivators. Each format is built on the same proven formula and delivers identical nutritional performance, so the choice depends entirely on your grow’s operational needs.

Facilities with experienced staff, central mixing rooms, or high-volume operations with built-in infrastructure.
HGV Liquid Nutrients
Designed for ease-of-use, precision dosing, and time savings—perfect for automated fertigation systems.
Key Advantages:
-
Plug-and-play for Dosatron and auto-dosing setups
-

-
No dust, measuring, or dissolving required
-
Consistent feed strength, batch after batch
Best For:
Automated or multi-zone facilities, facilities without a dedicated mixing room, or any grower looking to streamline daily operations.
No Guesswork, No Reformulation
Regardless of which form you use:
-
Formulas are identical (not just “similar”)
-
Same EC targets and mix rates
-
Compatible with the same pH control and conditioning products
So whether you’re scaling up with pallets of dry bags or using precision liquid injectors, you can trust that HGV’s consistency stays locked in—from bag or bottle to plant.
Eliminate the Clutter: No Need for Cal-Mag, Boosters, or Additives
Unlike many systems that require an endless list of additives, HGV delivers complete, balanced nutrition on its own:
-
No Cal-Mag needed—already included in the correct ratios
-
No sugary bloom enhancers
-
No wasteful “secret sauce” boosters
You only add more if you’ve tested it yourself and seen measurable results.
Plan Your Grow with the HGV Nutrient Calculator
No more guesswork when it comes to ordering nutrients.
The HGV Nutrient Calculator helps you determine exactly how much product you’ll need for each grow cycle based on:
-
Weekly water usage in Veg and Flower
-
Total number of weeks per phase
This tool is invaluable for managing inventory, budgeting, and scaling operations.
Water Conditioning with HGV: pH, Silica & Hypochlorous Acid
HGV now offers a complete Conditioning Line to complement its feeding system:
The HGV Condition Line includes four products: pH Up and pH Down for precise pH control, HGV Level to stabilize pH, strengthen plants, and improve stress resistance, and HGV Clear to maintain clean irrigation systems and healthy root zones. All are optimized for compatibility with HGV to ensure consistent performance and maximum nutrient uptake.
• HGV Condition – PH Up & pH Down
Maintain the ideal pH range for nutrient uptake in recirculating or drain-to-waste systems.
• HGV Condition – Level
Strengthens plant cell walls, improves resistance to drought and pests, and enhances structural integrity during heavy flower development.
• HGV Condition – Clear
A powerful, non-toxic oxidizer that keeps irrigation lines and root zones clean. HOCl helps prevent buildup and suppress pathogens without harming plant biology.

HGV Nutrient FAQ's
Q: Are HGV nutrients compatible with all grow media and methods, including hydroponics, potting soil, and field cultivation?
A: Yes. HGV Nutrients work with most grow media and hydroponic methods, including coco, rockwool, peat, and liquid systems. For potting soil or field use, a soil test is recommended to tailor nutrient application.
Q: Do I need RO Water?
A: Only if your source water has high heavy metals or chloride. A water analysis is the best way to determine if RO or a blending valve is needed—some sources may even provide enough calcium to reduce costs.
Q: Does HGV Nutrients and Conditioning Line work with irrigation systems like Dosatron?
A: Yes. HGV Nutrients are fully compatible with irrigation systems like Dosatron. They’re designed to dissolve easily and remain stable in concentrated stock tanks, making them ideal for automated dosing systems.
Q: Can I use mycorrhizae or other root inoculants with HGV nutrients?
A: Yes. Root inoculants like mycorrhizae can be used with HGV nutrients and are encouraged to support a healthy root system, which is essential for maximizing yield and quality.
Q: What’s the best way to store HGV fertilizers?
A: Store HGV fertilizers in a cool, dry, climate-controlled area. They’re hygroscopic and can absorb moisture, causing clumping if exposed to humidity or extreme temperatures. Proper storage helps maintain their quality and flowability.
Q: How long do HGV fertilizers last?
A: Dry HGV fertilizers don’t expire. Once mixed, liquid concentrates can last for several months if stored clean and properly. To ensure quality, it’s best to mix enough for 1–2 months, then clean tanks before refilling.
Q: Do I need to use Cal-Mag with HGV nutrients?
A: No. HGV products provide sufficient calcium and magnesium to support healthy growth throughout all phases. Whether using RO, well, or municipal water, proper feeding with HGV nutrients effectively prevents calcium or magnesium deficiencies.
Q: Do I need silica, boosters, or additives with the HGV program?
A: Not necessarily. Unless an additive directly improves yield, potency, or terpenes, it may not be worth the cost. Side-by-side testing is recommended—many growers have cut costs by removing unnecessary inputs.
