General Hydroponics FloraPro Ca + Micros

General Hydroponics FloraPro Ca + Micros is a dry, water-soluble fertilizer with an NPK of 14-0-0 and 17% calcium, formulated specifically for commercial cultivation operations. It delivers concentrated calcium and a full complement of micronutrients as one component of the FloraPro® system, which is designed to provide a complete fertilizer program for high-throughput hydroponic and soilless growing environments.

Why Choose FloraPro Ca + Micros

FloraPro Ca + Micros addresses a specific and critical gap in commercial hydroponic nutrition: reliable, high-concentration calcium and micronutrient delivery at production scale. Here is what distinguishes it from general-purpose options:

• Commercial-grade calcium concentration: At 17% calcium combined with a 14-0-0 nitrogen base, this formula is designed for crops with elevated Ca demand — common in fast-cycling hydroponic environments where calcium uptake can lag behind vegetative growth rate.
• Dry formulation for bulk handling: The water-soluble powder format reduces freight weight compared to liquid concentrates, lowers storage cost per grow cycle, and dissolves cleanly into recirculating systems without significant residue accumulation.
• Micronutrient package included: Beyond calcium and nitrogen, the formulation delivers micronutrients as part of a single product, reducing the number of separate additions a commercial operator must manage on a production feed schedule.
• Designed for the FloraPro® system: This product is intended to work within the FloraPro® multi-part program, which means it is formulated to complement FloraPro® Grow and FloraPro® Bloom rather than acting as a standalone base. Operators using the full FloraPro® line will get predictable ion ratios across the program.
• Consistent batch-to-batch composition: Dry mineral fertilizers generally offer tighter lot-to-lot consistency than liquid concentrates, which matters for commercial operations running controlled-environment agriculture protocols where EC and elemental targets are tracked closely.

Best Uses for FloraPro Ca + Micros

FloraPro Ca + Micros is intended for use within the FloraPro® system in commercial cultivation contexts. The following scenarios reflect what this product is built for, based on its formulation and design intent:

• Large-scale recirculating hydroponic systems: NFT, DWC, and flood-and-drain systems running at commercial capacity benefit from a calcium source that dissolves fully and does not leave particulate residue in lines or emitters.
• Vertical farms and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA): Operations running multiple crop cycles per year with precise EC and elemental targets need a calcium-nitrogen source they can dose predictably. The dry format also makes batch mixing straightforward for large reservoir volumes.
• Crops with elevated calcium requirements: Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and leafy greens are prone to calcium-related deficiencies (tip burn, blossom-end rot) when supply does not keep pace with transpiration. FloraPro Ca + Micros directly targets this need.
• Operations using the full FloraPro® program: This product is designed as a component, not a standalone. Growers already running FloraPro® Grow or FloraPro® Bloom should include Ca + Micros as directed in the program feed chart for a complete nutrient profile.
• Facilities requiring bulk dry nutrient storage: The 25 lb bag size is practical for commercial operations that mix nutrients in bulk and need a calcium source they can store at ambient temperature without refrigeration.

For growers exploring complementary inputs at different stages of the root zone development, Advanced Nutrients Tarantula is a microbial inoculant used by some operators alongside mineral programs to support root health. For molasses-based carbohydrate supplementation in organic-leaning programs, Earth Juice Hi-Brix Molasses is a separate option worth evaluating for compatibility with your feeding schedule.
