Lightmix

Growing profitably and fertilize at your own insight

plagron Lightmix bag

Plagron Lightmix is a mix of the very best, carefully selected types of peat. The addition of various types of fibre and perlite results in a lightness and oxygen level found only in Plagron quality substrates. Only a minimal amount of nutrients have been added to Lightmix. This makes Lightmix the perfect substrate to fertilize according to your own judgement and choices. Lightmix produces the highest yields when used with Plagron Terra Grow, Terra Bloom and the additives from Plagron.

Also available without perlite.

plagron Lightmix bag

Lightmix is mineral pre-fertilized for one week. This means that you can place your young plant directly into the Lightmix. You don't have to worry about your plant absorbing too much or too little nutrition. The fertilizers in the Lightmix can be directly absorbed by the roots; the soil life does not have to convert them first.

Because Lightmix is minimally pre-fertilized, you can fertilize as you see fit. Terra Grow and Terra Bloom are the ideal base nutrients to provide your plant with sufficient and the right nutrients during growth and flowering. In addition, the various additives in our range, such as Green Sensation and Sugar Royal, give just that extra push for a better harvest and taste.

Lightmix contains a low EC value. The low concentration of nutrients ensures that new roots are not damaged, so that they can develop more quickly. The young plants experience less stress and can fully focus on growth.

If you choose for perlite, you choose for a higher airiness of your substrate. This is great for the drainage and helps the development of the roots.

FAQ

Yes, but you'll have to start earlier compared to using Terra Grow and Terra Bloom. For Lightmix, start with Alga Grow right away. For Growmix, start in week 2. This is because unlike Terra, our Alga base nutrients are not directly useable by your plants. Instead, they first need to be converted by the soil life. This takes about two weeks.

Yes, Lightmix is made to be used with mineral nutrients. This means that the pH value and EC value affect the absorption of the nutrients. Therefore, it's important that you keep a close eye on it.

A seedling of 1-2 weeks old is ready to be planted in Lightmix.

Lightmix is already pre-fertilized for one week. Start giving nutrients after one week.
