Every grower knows the first few weeks make or break your harvest. If your roots don’t get going, nothing else matters. It doesn’t matter how good your lights are, how controlled your climate is, or how legendary your genetics might be; you’re fighting a losing battle without the proper foundation.
That’s where Mills Nutrients comes in.
We don’t believe in guesswork. Our bio-mineral nutrient strategy is designed to give plants exactly what they need when they need it. Fast uptake, long-term support, and zero messing around.
Here’s how Start R and Basis A/B team up to power healthy growth from the get-go.
In short, it’s the best of both worlds.
Mills blend mineral nutrients (for speed and precision) with organic inputs (for soil health and balance). Minerals get to work fast. Organics build structures and support microbes. Combined, they give your plants a steady stream of available nutrition without the spikes, lockouts, or leaching you get from a poorly balanced feed.
Feeding your plants is only half the story; you’re also building a living ecosystem around their roots.
Start R is more than just a rooting product; it’s your insurance policy for strong, stress-free early development. Designed with kelp extract (Ascophyllum nodosum) and a gentle micronutrient profile, it supports root expansion, boosts resilience, and gets young plants moving without overloading them.
Use it for:
Start R benefits soil and coco growers who want a quick, healthy start with fewer signs of stress or slow growth.
Once you’re out of the seedling stage, your feed needs to scale up and do so fast. Basis A and B are designed to carry plants from veg to bloom with stable, predictable results.
The formula includes chelated micronutrients (like iron, zinc, and manganese) to keep everything available and active across a wide pH range. That means no locked-out nutrients, no yellowing leaves, and no random deficiencies halfway through the flowering stage.
A and B work on all mediums, and they’re pH-stable, so you spend less time chasing numbers and more time growing.
Here’s what growers using Start R and A/B actually see:
It’s clean, consistent, and simple to use. Say goodbye to dozens of bottles. Say hello to a sharp, efficient feed system that gets the job done.
There’s no shortcut to good growing, but there’s a way to grow smarter, not harder. Mills Start R and A/B are built to give your plants the tools to grow quicker, stay healthier, and hit their potential without drama.
No matter the size of your grow setup, this system scales with you.
