Grow Mix 50 Lt. PLAGRON

Grow Mix 50 Lt. PLAGRON

Plagron is synonymous with high-performance growing media for technical horticulture. Plagron Grow Mix 50 liters is born from the selection of premium peat and specific plant fibers, combined with perlite and a balanced mineral pre-fertilization that ensures a powerful crop start. It is a ready-to-use growing media, formulated to offer an aerated structure, stable water retention, and efficient drainage from the first watering, both indoors and outdoors.

Main characteristics

– Professional blend of selected peat, fibers, and perlite for maximum aeration and drainage. – Pre-fertilized for 2–3 weeks , ideal for starters and early growth stages. – Fluffy texture promotes rapid, healthy root development. – Medium EC suitable for demanding plants at the beginning of their cycle. – pH optimized for soil cultivation , facilitating nutrient uptake. – Versatile use: indoors and outdoors in pots or containers. – Incorporated perlite prevents compaction and waterlogging. – Homogeneous and stable batch after batch, designed for consistent results. – 50-liter format (weight approx. 18 kg), ready to open and plant.

Indoor and outdoor growing methods for Plagron Grow Mix 50 liters

Indoors, fill pots without over-packing, water until light drainage is achieved, and allow the substrate to lose moisture between waterings. For the first 2–3 weeks, pre-fertilization is sufficient; start base feeding when you notice a slight thinning of the green color or when stretching begins, maintaining a pH of 6.0–6.5. Outdoors, use well-draining containers and protect the substrate from heavy rain for the first few days after transplanting. Add base nutrients after 2–3 weeks or as the plant demands. In very hot climates, stagger watering to avoid water stress and take advantage of the integrated perlite to maintain the air/water balance. For very young seedlings and cuttings, it is recommended to start in a lower EC medium and transplant to Grow Mix when the root system is active, minimizing the risk of early over-fertilization.

Properties of Grow Mix 50 lt. Plagron

Grow Mix provides an optimal air/water ratio that boosts vegetative growth and reduces the risk of root suffocation. Its medium initial EC and stabilized pH contribute to balanced nutrition from the outset, reducing deficiencies and blockages. Perlite maintains the substrate's physical profile during repeated waterings, preventing compaction and promoting fine, abundant roots.

Effects of Grow Mix 50 lt. Plagron

Its "effects" are reflected in the crop: vigorous start-up , dense root mass , controlled internodes, and a smooth transition to flowering. By stabilizing the root environment, it helps reduce irrigation stress and improves the response to subsequent fertilization.

Frequently asked questions about Plagron Grow Mix 50 liters

How long does it feed itself? It provides nutrients for about 2–3 weeks depending on the growing rate, pot size, and environmental conditions. Is it better for indoors or outdoors? It's versatile and works in both. Outdoors, adjust watering to the weather and protect from heavy rains after transplanting. Can I germinate directly in Grow Mix? For very delicate seeds and cuttings, it's recommended to start in a lower EC and transplant to Grow Mix when roots are active. When do I start feeding? Generally from the second or third week , or when the foliage begins to lighten slightly. Start with low doses and increase according to response. What pH should I use in the water? In soil, a pH of 6.0–6.5 promotes nutrient availability and substrate stability. Can it be reused? Yes, by mixing it with new substrate , improving it with amendments, and conditioning the structure. Productivity may be reduced compared to the first use. Does it contain coco coir or mycorrhizae? It's a peat base with perlite and mineral pre-fertilization. It's not formulated as a coco mix, nor does it include factory-made mycorrhizal inoculations. What differentiates it from a light mix? Grow Mix has a higher initial nutritional content than a light mix, allowing for delayed fertilization, while a light mix prioritizes complete nutritional control from day one.
