Atami B'cuzz Hydro A&B 10L is a concentrated two-part mineral base nutrient developed specifically for hydroponic cultivation, providing the essential nutrition required for healthy plant development throughout the crop cycle.
Hydroponic cultivation gives the grower direct control over plant nutrition. Unlike fertilised soil and compost, hydroponic growing media generally provide relatively little stored nutrition, meaning crops depend heavily on the nutrient solution delivered to the root zone.
B'cuzz Hydro A&B has been formulated specifically for these conditions. The two-part system supplies a balanced range of mineral nutrients and can provide the nutritional foundation from active vegetative development through flowering and ripening.
The formulation is divided between Hydro A and Hydro B because certain concentrated mineral nutrients can react with one another if combined before dilution. Separating the concentrates maintains their stability until they are individually added to water.
This commercial-size set provides 10L of Hydro A and 10L of Hydro B, giving 20 litres of concentrated hydroponic base nutrient in total.
Why choose Atami B'cuzz Hydro A&B?
- Complete hydroponic base nutrition - provides the mineral nutrient foundation required for healthy crop development.
- Developed specifically for hydroponics - designed for systems where nutrition is supplied primarily through a prepared nutrient solution.
- Two-part A&B formulation - keeps reactive concentrated nutrients separated until they are safely diluted into water.
- Suitable throughout the crop cycle - provides base nutrition during vegetative development, flowering and ripening.
- Hydro A NK 5-5 - supplies nitrogen and potassium as part of the complete two-part formulation.
- Hydro B PK 4-6 - supplies phosphorus and potassium alongside the nutrients provided by Hydro A.
- Adjustable feeding strength - dosage can be adapted according to crop type, stage of development and nutrient demand.
- Concentrated 1-3ml/L dosage - provides economical nutrient preparation for large reservoirs and irrigation systems.
- Suitable for a wide range of crops - including hydroponically grown vegetables, fruits, herbs and ornamentals.
- Compatible with the wider B'cuzz programme - provides the base nutrition around which appropriate Atami stimulators and additives can be used.
- Commercial 10L A + 10L B format - provides 20 litres of concentrated base nutrient for larger-scale cultivation.
Base nutrition developed for hydroponic growing
Hydroponic growing media behave differently from fertilised soils and composts. In many hydro systems, the growing medium provides physical support and suitable root-zone conditions but contributes relatively little stored nutrition.
The grower must therefore provide the crop with a carefully prepared nutrient solution containing the mineral elements required for healthy development.
B'cuzz Hydro A&B has been developed specifically around these requirements, providing concentrated mineral nutrition for crops where the nutrient solution is the primary source of plant food.
Accurate nutrient preparation together with appropriate EC and pH management allows growers to adapt the root-zone environment as the crop progresses.
Why does Hydro Nutrition come in A & B?
Hydro A and Hydro B are two complementary components of the same base nutrient. They are not separate growth and flowering fertilisers and are designed to be used together.
Certain mineral nutrients can react with one another when present together at high concentrations. These reactions can create insoluble compounds and potentially reduce nutrient availability.
Dividing the formulation between A and B keeps these concentrated components separate during storage and allows them to be combined safely after dilution.
When preparing a nutrient solution, add Hydro A to the water and mix thoroughly before adding Hydro B. Never mix concentrated Hydro A and Hydro B directly together.
Hydro A NK 5-5 & Hydro B PK 4-6
The European B'cuzz Hydro A&B formulation divides its mineral nutrition between two complementary concentrates.
Hydro A has an NK analysis of 5-5 W/W, while Hydro B has a PK analysis of 4-6 W/W.
The two components are intended to work together, providing the base mineral nutrition required by the crop rather than functioning as independent fertilisers.
Feeding strength can then be adapted according to crop stage, plant condition, source water, environmental conditions and the EC of the complete nutrient solution.
How to use Atami B'cuzz Hydro A&B
Use 1-3ml of Hydro A and 1-3ml of Hydro B per litre of water, adjusting the concentration according to the crop and its stage of development.
Add the required amount of Hydro A to the reservoir or irrigation water and mix thoroughly. Then add the required amount of Hydro B and mix again.
Never combine the undiluted A and B concentrates directly.
At the general application range, a 100L reservoir requires 100-300ml of Hydro A plus 100-300ml of Hydro B. A 500L reservoir requires 500ml-1.5L of each part, while a 1,000L reservoir requires 1-3L of each part.
Each 10L component can prepare approximately 3,333-10,000 litres of nutrient solution, depending on the application rate used.
10L Hydro A&B for commercial growing
The 10L A&B set is particularly suited to growers preparing larger reservoirs, operating multiple hydroponic systems or managing commercial horticultural production where nutrient solution is mixed regularly.
At the lower 1ml/L application rate, the 10L set provides enough of each component for approximately 10,000 litres of nutrient solution. At the upper 3ml/L rate, it provides enough for approximately 3,333 litres.
With 10L of both A and B supplied, the complete set contains 20 litres of concentrated base nutrient.
Adjusting Hydro A&B through the crop cycle
Hydro A&B can provide base nutrition throughout the crop cycle, but plants do not require exactly the same nutrient concentration at every stage.
Atami's hydro feeding programme varies nutrient strength as crops progress through active vegetative development, early flowering, full flowering and ripening.
Younger plants and less demanding crops may require a weaker solution, while established plants experiencing rapid growth, flowering or fruit development can have a greater nutrient requirement.
The general 1-3ml/L dosage should therefore be treated as an adjustable application range rather than a requirement to use the maximum concentration throughout the crop cycle.
pH & EC management in hydroponics
Monitoring pH and EC is particularly useful in hydroponic cultivation because the nutrient solution has such a direct influence on the root environment.
Atami's hydro feeding guidance uses a nutrient-solution pH of approximately 5.5-5.8.
EC should be adapted according to crop stage, source water and the complete nutrient programme. When additional additives or stimulators are included, their contribution to the final nutrient concentration should also be considered.
Measure the complete nutrient solution after all required components have been added and thoroughly mixed.
Using Hydro A&B with the B'cuzz feeding programme
Hydro A&B forms the base nutrient within the B'cuzz hydroponic programme. Specialist products can then be introduced according to the crop's stage of development.
During early establishment, growers may incorporate products focused on root development. The programme can then progress towards growth and flowering stimulators as the crop develops.
Later-stage products such as Bloombastic and Rokzbastic perform different roles from Hydro A&B and should not be considered replacements for the base nutrient.
When combining several nutrient products, monitor the final EC of the complete solution rather than considering each product's dosage independently.
Hydro A&B vs Soil A&B and Coco A&B
Atami produces different A&B base nutrients because hydroponic systems, soil-based substrates and coco coir have different nutritional characteristics.
B'cuzz Hydro A&B is formulated specifically for hydroponic cultivation where plant nutrition is supplied predominantly through the nutrient solution.
B'cuzz Soil A&B is formulated for soil and soil-based substrates, while B'cuzz Coco A&B is designed around the particular characteristics of coco coir.
Selecting the base nutrient designed for the growing method provides a more appropriate nutritional foundation for the crop.
