FloraMax: The Science Behind Simplified Growing
Precision Nutrition, Backed by Decades of Chemistry
FloraMax is not just another nutrient brand — it’s the result of over 50 years of horticultural and chemical expertise, purpose-built for professional growers who value science, stability, and simplicity.
Developed by analytical chemists with deep roots in agricultural chemistry, FloraMax products deliver consistent, clean results through research-led innovation and real-world application. Designed to remove the guesswork from modern cultivation, the range offers a powerful combination of performance, reliability, and simplicity — ideal for both hobbyists and large-scale commercial growers.
History & Backstory
1966 – Foundations in Horticultural Science
FloraMax’s story begins with Robert Taylor, a chemist at Western Australia’s State Government Chemistry Centre. His pioneering work in soil, water, and plant tissue analysis laid the foundation for the precision nutrition principles that guide FloraMax today.
1992 – Pioneering Hydroponic Innovation
Building on this scientific legacy, the team began developing hydroponic nutrients and consulting for commercial growers — helping shape early innovations in nutrient film and recirculating hydroponic systems.
2014 – The Birth of FloraMax
As the hydroponic industry evolved, FloraMax was founded to deliver a comprehensive yet user-friendly nutrient system, merging cutting-edge plant biochemistry with practical usability.
Today – Forging New Frontiers
FloraMax continues to work alongside commercial-scale cultivation facilities and research teams worldwide — solving long-standing challenges around nutrient stability, system cleanliness, and yield consistency. The result is a globally respected nutrient line that sets a benchmark for reliability in hydroponic feeding.

Empowering Growers with Science and Simplicity
The FloraMax range has earned a global reputation for consistency and ease-of-use. Developed through decades of plant science and real-world growing experience, FloraMax formulations are engineered to make advanced growing simpler, cleaner, and more predictable.
Unlike additive-heavy lines that complicate feeding schedules, FloraMax focuses on nutrient efficiency — delivering everything plants need while preventing residue, biofilm, and pH instability. Each formula is built for maximum uptake with minimal effort, giving you faster growth, cleaner systems, and bigger results.
The Science Behind the System
FloraMax’s unique formulations maintain stability across all systems and media. You won’t experience the usual issues of pH drift, salt accumulation, or blocked drippers — even in long-term recirculating systems.
-
Balanced Base Nutrition: Grow, Bloom, and Veg provide complete macro and micronutrient profiles for every stage.
-
Bio-Stimulant Technology: Resin-XS and Clone Spray enhance flower development, oil production, and rooting naturally.
-
Clean Formulation: Every product is designed to leave minimal residue — keeping your system clean and maintenance low.
-
Precision pH Control: Integrated pH stabilisers remove the need for daily correction, making nutrient management simple.
Key Products in the FloraMax Line
-
Veg-1 & Bloom-A/B: Complete base nutrients for full macro and micro coverage.
-
Resin-XS: Premium bloom enhancer for density, resin, and weight without lockout.
-
Root-XS: Drives explosive root expansion and resilience in early growth.
-
Clone Spray: Hormone-free propagation spray that accelerates root initiation.
-
Silica: Builds strong cell walls for structural strength and pest resistance.
-
Flush-Finish: Final-stage cleaner that enhances flavour, smoothness, and aroma.
For Every System, Any Media
FloraMax integrates seamlessly with all hydroponic setups — NFT, DWC, coco, run-to-waste, and drip-fed systems. Its pH-stable, residue-free properties help maintain clarity in tanks and tubing, while protecting pumps and channels from build-up.
For NFT systems in particular, FloraMax’s clean formulation prevents blockages and biofilm accumulation — keeping the nutrient film oxygen-rich and flowing freely.
💡 For best results, pair FloraMax with a water chiller to maintain ideal nutrient temperatures and oxygenation.
