CropSalt Starter Pack | Happy Hydro

Five bags, one feed chart, zero additives from clone to harvest

CropSalt is a complete two-part powder nutrient line with a finishing product called Cake. The Starter Pack ships with Veg A, Veg B, Bloom A, Bloom B, and Cake, so you have everything for a full cycle out of the box. You mix dry powder into water at a fixed ratio, follow the same feed chart CropSalt has published since 2016, and skip the shelf of bottles entirely. It uses 40% fewer grams per gallon than competing salt lines and includes multiple calcium sources, so no separate cal-mag is needed.

No additives needed Same feed chart since 2016 Pure raw minerals

Side by side
Bottle nutrients vs. CropSalt
Typical bottle lines
  • 6 to 12 bottles per cycle, each sold separately
  • You're paying to ship water weight
  • Feed charts change every few years as formulas get reworked
  • Separate cal-mag bottle required with most lines
  • Dyes stain tanks, lines, and pots
  • Prilled or clumpy powders dissolve unevenly
CropSalt
  • Two-part veg, two-part bloom, and a finisher. That's the whole line.
  • Dry powder ships light and stores compact
  • One feed chart, unchanged since 2016
  • Multiple calcium sources built in, no cal-mag needed
  • No dyes: reservoirs stay clear, no tank scrubbing
  • Finely ground for uniform dissolve and accurate measuring
What makes it different
Built around one feed chart and five bags

40% fewer grams per gallon 40% less

CropSalt's concentrated formula means you use roughly 7.7 grams total per gallon in veg (4.6g A + 3.1g B) compared to 12+ grams with most competing salt lines at the same EC.

Multiple calcium sources, no cal-mag needed

CropSalt is the only line formulated with more than one calcium source. This eliminates the separate cal-mag bottle and keeps your mixing routine to two parts plus Cake at the end.

Set EC from start to finish

CropSalt was the first nutrient line designed to run a fixed EC throughout the cycle. You don't ramp up or taper off weekly. The feed chart strength stays consistent, which simplifies automation.

Fine-ground powder, not prilled

The powder dissolves completely and measures accurately on a gram scale. Prilled or clumpy alternatives can lead to inconsistent mixing and inaccurate feeds.

Works with tap water, stable pH

Tap water blends well with CropSalt and reduces the need for constant pH adjustment. If you use RO, CropSalt recommends blending with enough tap water to stabilize pH naturally.

Doser and stock tank ready

CropSalt dissolves cleanly in concentrated stock solutions for use with Dosatron, Netafim, or any injector system. Setup diagrams are available on the CropSalt grow documents page.

How to use CropSalt from clone to harvest

1

Mix Veg A/B from clone through day 21 of flower

Weigh 4.6g Veg A and 3.1g Veg B per gallon of water. For seedlings, start at 1.53g/1.03g and increase to full strength as the second set of leaves appear.

2

Switch to Bloom A/B on day 22

Mix 5.1g Bloom A and 2.6g Bloom B per gallon. The first 21 days of flower use Veg because higher nitrogen reduces stretch and tightens node spacing.

3

Finish with Cake for the last 14 days

Mix 3g of Cake per gallon of water by itself. This replaces Bloom A/B for the final two weeks before harvest.

4

Keep it sterile with bleach and RunClean

Add 0.2 ml of unscented Clorox bleach per gallon twice a week. Use RunClean to prevent scale buildup in lines, tanks, and pots.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Not at all. You weigh the powder on a gram scale, dump it into water, and stir. Because CropSalt is finely ground (not prilled), it dissolves quickly without clumping. The entire feed chart fits on one label, and the ratios don't change week to week, so once you measure it the first time you've basically learned the whole system.
Yes to both. For DWC, swap your nutrient solution weekly and add 0.2 ml of unscented bleach per gallon twice a week to keep things sterile. For AutoPot systems, CropSalt works well but you'll want to flush the lines periodically to prevent mineral buildup. RunClean handles that without affecting EC or your microbial life.
No. CropSalt includes multiple calcium sources and provides all the magnesium your plants need. Adding extra products can alter the nutrient balance and may cause more problems than it solves. If you see deficiency symptoms, check your environment and runoff pH first. The only additions CropSalt recommends are unscented bleach for sterility and RunClean for descaling.
During the first three weeks of flower, your plants are still stretching and transitioning. Higher nitrogen from Veg A/B reduces that stretch and tightens node spacing. Switching to Bloom A/B on day 22 gives the plant the phosphorus and potassium profile it needs once it's committed to flower production.
Tap water works well with CropSalt and actually helps stabilize pH, reducing the need for constant adjustment. If you use RO water, CropSalt recommends blending in enough tap water to buffer pH naturally. Either way, target 6.2 pH going in and watch for 6.0 to 6.1 in your runoff.
At full-strength feed rates, 1 lb of Veg A makes roughly 98 gallons and 1 lb of Bloom A makes about 89 gallons of nutrient solution. For a typical home setup of 12 plants in 2-gallon pots fed daily, plan on 1 to 2 lbs of each product per full cycle. The 1 lb pack is a good trial size for a small grow, while the 5 lb pack covers larger setups or multiple runs.

My favorite sunscreen
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this sunscreen and have been carrying a can in my bag all this summer. To address a couple of common complaints: “It’s not sheer at all”: “Sheer” does not mean the same thing as “clear,” people. This spray is white and absolutely does rub in to be sheer as advertised. It leaves a slight (“sheer”) white tinge after rubbing in, but it’s not super noticeable on my pale skin. It might be more problematic on darker skin tones. (Also, it should be noted that there is literally no such thing as clear mineral sunscreen- you will have to choose between a product like this and a clear one containing endocrine disruptors. I’d rather look a little pasty, personally.) “My whole family used this and got burned”: You need to shake the can before spraying, as per the instructions. These sprays are made of zinc (the active, protective ingredient) in a liquid suspension. If you spray without shaking the can first, you risk getting all liquid and no zinc particles, and then yes, you will burn. I’m pretty sensitive and this sunscreen has not failed me yet. “It’s hard to get off”: This is true. It is hard to get off. But why would you want a sunscreen to come off easily?? This stuff is water resistant to an impressive degree. In the evening if it takes a vigorous scrubbing to get it off, I consider the exfoliation a bonus. Also, my nozzles have worked just fine and the cans last me quite a good amount of time.

It really is water resistant
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is great. Normally when buying a green sunscreen, I have to sacrifice the aerosol feature and default to a lotion. This has a very neutral scent and sprays easily and evenly. It is zinc-based, so it will leave a white haze on your skin. I did need to rub it in after spraying, which helped minimize the white hue. It does love bathing suits, so be prepared to also rub the zinc powder into your bathing suit, otherwise it will be spray painted white. I used this while tubing and did not get burned--just nice and toasty-tan. The biggest downside is that it has a very slight stickiness/tackiness to it. I showered twice before I finally felt like it was all off my skin. But at least it didn't come off in the river!

Leaves skin WHITE and chalky!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is the worst. it leaves your skin feeling chalky, and totally white. it is difficult to get it off. I accidentally bought it twice two years apart thinking it was the one I liked, but nope. floated the river and even trying to rub it off in the water wouldn't remove the white cast on my skin all day. If you don't mind chalky skin and looking white, then go for it.

Great convenient nontoxic spray sunblock option that really works!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am very serious about nontoxic products for my family, particularly for my young children. I also insist on sunscreen almost every day. The unfortunate thing is that I really dislike actually applying sunscreen! lol! I don't mind on normal mornings (and we usually use the Green Screen Organic Sunscreen SPF 32 Original - Vegan - Gluten-free or Babo Botanicals SPF 40 Daily Sheer Facial Sunscreen, Unscented), but when we are on the go or at the beach, I wanted to make it as easy as possible to apply. We bought this for a beach getaway over the summer and it really surprised me. It is an easy application (shake, spray, rub) and it really worked. Two children and two adults used this on the entire body and face along with some extra stick protection on the face. I reapplied a few times, but not religiously and no one got a burn... no one really even got a tan. It says that it is sweat and water proof up until a certain point and I believe it really is because we were in scorching heat on the beach (in the water too) and no one had any issues. The great thing is that it really did make application easy so I think we reapplied more appropriately than we would have with a regular tube of sublock. I am not experienced with spray sunblocks so I cannot compare with others, but I believe it is similar. Note, since this is a nontoxic sublock that is zinc based, it does go on white and also sprays whatever it gets on white, but I didn't have any problems. It rubs in very easily and seemed to come off of carpet, clothes, etc. very easily as well. This is now a regular go-to for us even on non-beach days.

Ok, but not great for the price.
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The good: 1. Doesn't have that typical sunscreen sent. (I hate that smell so that is a major plus for me.). 2. Doesn't burn my eyes 3. Doesn't clog my porse (some sunscreen gives me back acne) The bad: 1. On my skin (And I suspect anyone who has melanin ) it leaves a chalk-like film that makes me look ashy. 2. When you spray it IT GETS EVERYWHERE! On the floor, walls and pretty much tow feet from wherever you are standing. 3. I bought this at the 1st of the month it's 18th and the bottle is EMPTY! And I didn't even use it every day (obviously only used when I was outside in the sun.) 4. Feels chalkie on the skin. Overall while not a bad product, I will not be purchasing again too many issues and cons for the price.
