Dirty Dozen Starter Kit

The FoxFarm Dirty Dozen Starter Kit (SKU FX14109) brings together twelve of FoxFarm’s liquid and soluble products into a single package, covering root stimulation, vegetative growth, mid-bloom, peak bloom, calcium and magnesium supplementation, and final flush. It includes nine pint-size liquid bottles and three 6-ounce soluble packets — enough to run a complete feeding program from transplant through harvest without sourcing products separately.

The kit ships as a factory-assembled set. All sizes listed below are per individual product included in the kit.

Why Choose the Dirty Dozen Starter Kit

The Dirty Dozen is structured to address each phase of plant development with a dedicated product rather than asking a single base nutrient formula to cover everything. Here is what distinguishes this kit from buying individual FoxFarm bottles:

• Full-cycle coverage in one purchase: The nine liquid products span root development (Kangaroots), microbial inoculants (Microbe Brew), sweeteners and carbohydrates (Bembé), calcium-magnesium supplementation (Cultivation Nation Cal-Mag), bloom boosters across early, peak, and late bloom (Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching), a base grow nutrient (Grow Big Soil), a base bloom nutrient (Tiger Bloom), and a flush agent (SledgeHammer). Boomerang addresses plant recovery during stress. Together they remove the need to source each product separately.
• Three-stage bloom soluble progression: Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching are water-soluble powders formulated for early, mid, and late bloom respectively. Using them in sequence is central to FoxFarm’s published feeding schedule and is not easily replicated by substituting other products.
• Starter quantities suited to small grows: The 6-ounce solubles and pint-size liquids are appropriate for growers running a few plants or trying FoxFarm’s system for the first time, without committing to quart or gallon volumes before knowing how the program performs in their environment.
• Includes flush and recovery products: SledgeHammer (flush) and Boomerang (recovery) are often skipped when growers assemble a feeding program piecemeal. Their inclusion in the kit encourages using the complete protocol, which can matter for end-of-cycle results and plant health during stress events.

Best Uses for the Dirty Dozen Starter Kit

This kit is most useful for growers who want to follow FoxFarm’s recommended feeding program without assembling it product by product. Practical applications include:

• First-time FoxFarm users: The starter kit format makes it straightforward to begin the FoxFarm feeding schedule without having to identify which products are needed for each stage before having any grow experience with the brand.
• Soil and soilless media grows: Grow Big Soil and the bloom base (Tiger Bloom) in this kit are formulated for soil environments. Growers running coco or hydro should confirm product compatibility with their medium before applying the full program.
• Indoor gardens running a 2–4 plant setup: Pint-size liquids and 6-ounce solubles are sized for small to medium grows. Growers with larger canopies will likely exhaust the liquids well before completing a single run and should consider purchasing full-size bottles. If you are setting up a larger indoor space, you may also want to pair this feeding program with appropriate a quality grow tent to control the environment.
• Gardens that benefit from microbial and root support: Kangaroots (root stimulant) and Microbe Brew (microbial inoculant) make this kit useful when transplanting or establishing root zones, which is a phase often underserved by nutrient-only programs.
• Growers following a structured flush protocol: SledgeHammer’s inclusion makes this kit a complete program through harvest, not just a grow-and-bloom regimen. This matters for growers who want to clear residual salts before the final week.
