Byron Bay Gold Nutrients
Coming in solid at No. #3 is Byron Bay Gold. Possibly the current easiest hydroponic nutrients to use. No boosters or additives are required; just use the Veg A/B for the growth period, the Flowering A/B for the first 4 weeks of the flowering cycle, then finish the crop off with the Fruit A/B for the remaining weeks.

About Mills Nutrients.
The Dutch have been waging a battle against water and tides for centuries. Living metres below sea level has taught the Dutch how to manage the elements of nature and to get the most out of them. Much versatile and fertile agricultural land has been created by reclaiming land from the sea with windmills and permanent irrigation systems. Improvisation when circumstances demand it. Persevering to get the best. They have been doing that for centuries, with great success and results. That is how the Dutch developed their knowledge generation after generation.
Nutrients.
Mills has taken the next step in that development with its own range of plant nutrients that is proving successful all over the world. Founded on centuries of expertise that has borne efficiency and optimisation here. And twenty years of focused laboratory research and practical experience. A unique and innovative range of bio-mineral plant nutrients, which utilises organic and mineral sources to get the most out of your plants.
