Nutrients — Atami

Atami runs two lines, and on this page you see them mixed together. B'cuzz is the line organised by substrate: Soil, Coco and Hydro, each with its own A+B base nutrition, booster and stimulator. ATA is the line of separate products you use alongside anything, from Bloombastic to Atazyme. They do not conflict, but you are choosing differently.

What the substrate versions are, and are not

It is natural to assume the Coco version of a product has a different composition from the Soil version. For the B'cuzz Booster Universal that is not what Atami publishes: their own product information gives one composition and one dosage for the range, and their grow schedules put the booster on the same row in all three substrates. What does differ per substrate is the schedule around it, and that is where the real differences sit: pH range, base feed strength and how calcium and magnesium run through the cycle. So you are choosing a schedule first, and the matching bottle comes with it.

The ATA line is where the specialities are

Bloombastic and Rootbastic are the best known, alongside Ata XL, Atazyme, Ata Clean for the system, Calmag, PK 13-14 and the Terra Max and Terra Leaves. These products do not decide your medium for you; each does one thing and you bring it in when you need that thing. For anyone building their own schedule that is more useful than a fixed line.

What we do not do

We do not write a difference between products where the manufacturer publishes none. If Atami gives three bottles the same analysis and the same dosage, that is what this page says. It is less exciting than three separate stories, and it saves you buying on a difference that does not exist.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy the Coco booster if I grow in coco?
It is the bottle that belongs to the coco schedule, so it is the logical pick. Just do not assume the contents differ from the Soil version.

Can I use ATA products with B'cuzz nutrition?
Yes, that is what the ATA line is for. Do keep an eye on total dosage if you stack several stimulators.

Where do I start if I am new to this brand?
With the base nutrition for your substrate and nothing else. Add additives when you have a reason, not in advance.
