Part 2 of the B.C. 3-part system — calcium- and iron-fortified liquid base nutrient, veg through flower.
TechnaFlora B.C. Boost (3-0-2) is the calcium- and iron-fortified centerpiece of the B.C. Hydroponic Nutrients 3-part system, used in both vegetative and flowering stages alongside B.C. Grow and B.C. Bloom. Highly concentrated liquid formula designed for hydroponic, soilless, and soil-based commercial production.
TechnaFlora B.C. Boost is Part 2 of the B.C. Hydroponic Nutrients system — a three-part liquid base nutrient line developed by TechnaFlora Plant Products Ltd., a Canadian-owned company based in Mission, British Columbia. The system consists of B.C. Grow, B.C. Boost, and B.C. Bloom, all highly concentrated, professionally formulated liquid fertilizers.
B.C. Boost carries an NPK of 3-0-2 and is the only part of the three-part system that delivers supplemental calcium and iron directly. Unlike many competitor 3-part systems that limit micronutrient delivery to a single part, the B.C. line distributes micronutrients across both B.C. Grow and B.C. Bloom — and B.C. Boost bolsters that foundation with calcium and iron, two elements that are critical for cell wall integrity, chlorophyll production, and enzymatic function in heavy-feeding crops.
B.C. Boost is added to the reservoir or mixing tank first, before B.C. Grow or B.C. Bloom. This sequencing matters: the high calcium and iron content must be fully dissolved before other elements are introduced to prevent undesirable ionic bonding that can lock out nutrients.
B.C. Boost is appropriate for commercial and semi-commercial licensed cannabis and hemp cultivation operations running hydroponic systems — including recirculating DWC, NFT, flood-and-drain, and drip setups — as well as coco coir and soilless media. The full B.C. Hydroponic Nutrients line is also usable in soil, though application frequency should be reduced relative to hydroponic schedules to prevent salt accumulation.
The 1L bottle size works well as a facility trial size, for smaller licensed operations, or for teams that want to bench-test the B.C. system against their current program before committing to larger volumes. TechnaFlora's B.C. line is also available in 4L, 10L, and 20L sizes for operations running larger reservoir volumes and higher feed frequencies.
Operators already running the TechnaFlora Recipe for Success program will recognize B.C. Boost as the backbone nutrient that runs from early veg through the final weeks of flower — the only part that never comes out of the feed schedule.
The B.C. system is formulated for minimal pH drift. Operators running large reservoirs or multi-site systems where frequent pH adjustment creates labor overhead will find the stable formulation reduces the number of corrections needed per irrigation cycle. Minimal salt accumulation is also a documented characteristic of the B.C. line — an important factor in facilities where system cleaning downtime has a direct cost.
B.C. Boost's 3-0-2 NPK profile makes it nitrogen- and potassium-forward with no phosphate contribution, which is intentional: it pairs with B.C. Grow (1-3-6) in vegetative stage to deliver a balanced veg profile, and with B.C. Bloom in flower to support reproductive development without excess nitrogen. The calcium delivered through Boost is particularly important in high-transpiration environments — light dep greenhouses, indoor rooms with aggressive VPD targets — where calcium deficiency can manifest quickly under fast growth conditions.
Because B.C. Boost is used in both veg and flower (ratio changes, but Boost never leaves the program), it is the highest-consumption part of the three-part system. Facilities should size their Boost inventory accordingly relative to Grow and Bloom.
The B.C. Hydroponic Nutrients system is supported by TechnaFlora's Recipe for Success (RFS) mixing chart — a stage-by-stage feed schedule that maps out exact ratios from the cutting/clone stage through pre-harvest. The RFS removes the guesswork of week-to-week EC ladder adjustments by organizing the program around plant growth stage rather than calendar week, which is operationally cleaner for facilities running overlapping harvest cycles.
For hydroponic operations, B.C. Boost is added to every irrigation cycle. In soil or coco, feed frequency is reduced to prevent salt buildup, but Boost remains part of each nutrient mix. The simple mixing ratios — 2 parts Boost to 1 part Grow in vegetative, 1 part Boost to 1 part Bloom in flower — make it straightforward to train cultivation technicians and standardize reservoir prep across multiple rooms or facilities.
TechnaFlora's supplements — MagiCal, Thrive Alive B-1, Awesome Blossoms, Sugar Daddy, and Root 66 — are all designed to stack on top of the B.C. base program without compatibility issues, giving commercial operators room to build a more complete feed program as their protocol matures.

B.C. Boost contains high concentrations of both calcium and iron. TechnaFlora specifies that Boost must be added and fully mixed before B.C. Grow or B.C. Bloom is introduced, because calcium and iron can bond with other elements in those parts if they aren't already dissolved in solution. This sequencing prevents nutrient lockout and precipitation in the reservoir.
In the vegetative stage, the ratio is 2 parts B.C. Boost to 1 part B.C. Grow per gallon of water (approximately 2 tsp Boost + 1 tsp Grow per gallon). In the flowering stage, the ratio shifts to 1 part B.C. Boost to 1 part B.C. Bloom per gallon (approximately 1 tsp Boost + 1 tsp Bloom per gallon). B.C. Boost is used throughout both phases — it never comes out of the program.
All three parts of the B.C. Hydroponic Nutrients line — including B.C. Boost — are compatible with soil and soilless (coco) media. The key difference is feed frequency: in hydro, nutrients are delivered every irrigation cycle. In soil, you should reduce frequency to prevent salt buildup. The NPK ratios and mixing chart remain the same across all media.
Yes. B.C. Boost is the base nutrient foundation of TechnaFlora's Recipe for Success program, which is designed to be used in conjunction with TechnaFlora's full supplement line including MagiCal, Thrive Alive B-1 Red and Green, Awesome Blossoms, Sugar Daddy, and Root 66. The supplements are also compatible with other manufacturers' base nutrients if you're running a hybrid program.
B.C. Boost is available in 1L, 4L, 10L, and 20L. Because Boost is used in both veg and flower at higher ratios relative to Grow and Bloom, it is the fastest-depleting part of the three-part system — size your Boost order accordingly. The 1L is appropriate for trials or small licensed ops; larger commercial facilities running multiple rooms should look at 10L or 20L to reduce per-unit cost and reorder frequency.
