Pairs well with
C4 is the Mills bloom stimulant for early to mid flower. It is a blend of carbohydrates, macro and micro nutrients, trace minerals, L-amino acids and bio-stimulants, made to help plants move energy and nutrients into developing flowers and fruit. Mills says it encourages the plant's own oil and sugar production. NPK is 0.7-3-3. On the Mills chart it runs from bloom week 2 to week 6 at 0.5 to 2ml per litre, overlapping Ultimate PK for the last two of those weeks. It is an additive for flowering and fruiting plants, so it goes on top of Basis A&B, not instead of it.
Specifications
Grower's Tip
- Bring C4 in at bloom week 2, the same week Start-R finishes. Ramp it, do not jump straight to the top dose.
- C4 goes in after Basis A and Basis B. Stir well before adding Ultimate PK on the weeks they overlap.
- Carbohydrate additives feed whatever lives in your reservoir as well as your plants. Keep tanks cool, covered and changed on schedule.
- Stop C4 after bloom week 6. From week 7 the Mills chart runs Ultimate PK on its own to the finish.
- Meter after mixing. C4 is mild on EC, but the overlap weeks with Ultimate PK sit at the top of the Mills range at 2.6 to 2.8.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I start using C4?
At bloom week 2. The Mills chart starts C4 at 0.5ml per litre on tap water (1ml on RO) and builds it up over the next two weeks.
Can I use C4 and Ultimate PK together?
Yes. Mills runs them together in bloom weeks 5 and 6, then drops C4 and carries on with Ultimate PK alone.
Can I use C4 without Basis A&B?
No. C4 is an additive with an NPK of 0.7-3-3. It needs a full base nutrient underneath it, and Mills built it around Basis A&B.
Is C4 only for flowering plants?
Yes. Mills designed C4 for flowering and fruiting plants in bloom. It has no place in the growth weeks.
Does C4 work in soil and coco?
Yes. It runs in hydro, coco and soil, the same as the rest of the Mills range.
Which size should I buy?
At 0.5 to 2ml per litre for five weeks, the 1L suits a tent or two. The 5L is the better buy for bigger reservoirs or back-to-back runs.
