Maximizing Plant Growth: Why Mills Start R and A/B Are Your Grow's Secret Weapon

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.

Mills Basis A&B is a powerful 2-part base nutrient designed to support explosive growth and full-flavored yields. Trusted by pro growers for its balance of simplicity and performance.Kickstart your grow with Mills Start-R—designed to boost root development, enhance nutrient uptake, and strengthen seedlings from day one. A must-have for every serious cannabis grower.

What are Bio-Mineral Nutrients?

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: Built for Early Growth

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:

  • Seedlings and clones
  • Transplants that need a soft landing
  • Any stage where roots need encouragement

Start R benefits soil and coco growers who want a quick, healthy start with fewer signs of stress or slow growth.

A and B: Precision Without the Fuss

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.
