Cutting Edge Solutions Bloom 0-6-5 is the phosphorus-, potassium-, magnesium-, and sulfur-rich component of the Cutting Edge Solutions three-part Base Family nutrient system. Used with Micro 6-0-0 and Grow 2-1-6, Bloom provides essential mineral nutrition throughout the plant lifecycle, with increasingly prominent rates during transition and flowering.

Its concentrated mineral formula supports healthy plant development, flower formation, and fruit production in hydroponics, coco coir, soil, and soilless growing media. The Cutting Edge Solutions Base Family contains no artificial hormones, added dyes, or growth regulators.

Benefits of Cutting Edge Solutions Bloom

  • Three-Part Base Component: Works with Cutting Edge Solutions Micro and Grow to create a customizable full-cycle nutrient program.
  • Phosphorus and Potassium: Supplies bloom-stage macronutrients needed for energy transfer, metabolic activity, and flower and fruit development.
  • Magnesium: Supports chlorophyll formation, light absorption, and photosynthetic processes.
  • Sulfur: Contributes to normal enzyme, protein, and plant metabolic functions.
  • Adjustable Lifecycle Ratios: Used at lower concentrations during vegetative growth and increased during transition and flowering.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for hydroponic reservoirs, coco coir, soil, and soilless media.

Guaranteed Analysis

  • Available Phosphate (P₂O₅): 6%
  • Soluble Potash (K₂O): 5%
  • Magnesium (Mg): 1%
  • Combined Sulfur (S): 2%

Derived from monopotassium phosphate, phosphoric acid, potassium carbonate, and potassium sulfate.

Bloom Stock-Tank Reference Rates

  • Vegetative Phase: 5 mL per gallon of water.
  • Transition Phase: 15 mL per gallon of water.
  • Flowering Phase: 20 mL per gallon of water.
  • Optional Flush: 10 mL per gallon of water.

These amounts apply specifically to the Bloom component and should be used with the corresponding Micro and Grow rates on the appropriate Cutting Edge Solutions feed chart. The manufacturer identifies its published values as maximum rates; growers may reduce overall strength by adding more fresh water while keeping the component ratios balanced.

Proper Mixing Order

  1. Begin with fresh water in the reservoir or mixing container.
  2. If using Bulletproof Si, add it first, mix thoroughly, and wait approximately five minutes.
  3. Add Micro next, stir thoroughly, and wait another five minutes.
  4. Add Grow and Bloom individually, mixing thoroughly after each component.
  5. Add any remaining compatible supplements according to the selected feed chart.
  6. Measure the finished solution’s EC and pH before feeding.

Never combine undiluted nutrient concentrates directly. Each component must be diluted into water separately to help prevent mineral precipitation and nutrient lockup.

Important System Guidance

  • Cutting Edge Solutions notes that normal finished-solution pH readings may range from 4.5 to 6.5 depending on the water source, growing system, and products used.
  • Deep-water culture and recirculating DWC systems should use the CES recirculating feed chart at approximately 33%–50% of the published maximum strength.
  • If using Plant Amp, follow its special pH instructions because its organic acids can temporarily lower the solution reading.

Bloom is one part of a multi-component base nutrient system and is not intended to serve as a complete standalone fertilizer. Always follow the current Cutting Edge Solutions feed chart that matches your growing system.
