Calcium built in.
Our Veg and Bloom carry calcium from more than one source, so calcium isn’t tied to nitrogen. You don’t need Cal-Mag, or a sky-high EC, to keep plants from going deficient.

For our gardens.
We are growers. We’ve run our own commercial cultivation facilities for more than 20 years, and CropSalt is the feed we built for them.
The reason we startedWe didn’t develop
We didn’t develop
CropSalt to sell it.
We developed it in our own gardens, in search of the perfect crop. For years we ran bottled nutrients like everyone else. Then we started experimenting with cheap solubles and went straight down the rabbit hole.
More than a decade and hundreds of thousands of dollars later, we were mixing 17 separate inputs into every reservoir. It worked, but it was slow, easy to get wrong and impossible to run through a doser. In 2016 we combined those inputs into the feed program we still use today.
How we got here
From 17 inputs to five powders.
- Bottled lines
Years of running full liquid lines, bottle after bottle, the way the industry taught everyone to feed.
- Solubles
We switched to solubles and kept refining until we were mixing 17 inputs at a time.
- 2016
We combined the inputs so we could mix faster and run dosers. That became CropSalt.
- Today
The same feed program runs in our rooms and in gardens and facilities across the US and Canada.

The way we grow
Simple is deliberate.
Most nutrient lines want you to buy a shelf of bottles and boosters. In our experience, a complete feed needs a two-part Veg and a two-part Bloom, with no weekly ratio changes. Every extra part adds cost and another chance to mix something wrong.
A plant needs 14 root-absorbed elements, in the right balance with each other. We built that balance into the mix, so there’s nothing to add and nothing to guess. That’s also why soluble fertilizers are the standard across agriculture: you feed the same exact mix every time.
We use finely ground, dye-free powders. Mix by hand, or prepare separate stock tanks for a doser. Either way, it’s a feed program you can understand and repeat. No expensive additives. No gimmicks.
What we do differently
Three decisions that shaped CropSalt.
Veg through day 21 of flower.
We took plenty of heat for this when we started selling CropSalt. Plants are still transitioning during the first three weeks of flower and still want more nitrogen. Around days 16–21 you’ll see EC start stacking in the root zone as demand shifts toward phosphorus and potassium. That’s when Bloom takes over.
Cake for the finish.
Instead of flushing with plain water, Cake runs on its own for the final two weeks of a nine-week cycle, and the final 2.5 weeks on longer cycles. It contains no nitrogen, by design. It’s built to help plants finish with color, weight, terpenes and frost.
There are many imitators, but only one CropSalt.
We don’t succeed unless you do.
