hi guys

I bought a bag of TERRA PLAGRON MIX WITH PERLITE, where the word TERRA means ground and PLAGRON is a famous dutch brand. It should be ready to start the veg from clones, and the bag's instruction say that owns all the plats need on their first three weeks of life.

My buddy told me to mix it with coconet bark in percentual of 60% ground and 40% coconet, what do you think about it?

It's composition is the following:

ph: 5,5 - 6.5

EC : 600 - 600

N-P-K : 12 - 14 - 20 Kg/cubic metre

Organic Substances : (% dry substance) 80,3%

Dry substance [DS] : 38%

Poresfraction : 92%

Water retention 7 ml/g[DS]

Is that All mix, Royalty mix, Bat mix or Light mix? My guess would be all mix if they say 3 weeks before nutes. I've used their products before and liked them- except the royalty mix which confused me by having too many nutes at the start.

Anyway, you can thin it down with coco but you'll be thinning down the nutes in it as well. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just means you will have to add more nutes earlier.

TBH I'd just use the plagron mix neat at first- if you have issues with it you can add or change accordingly.

Experiment and keep notes - there are a lot of different viable soil recipes- consistency will help you find solutions if there are problems.

hi

my bag is called Plagron Grow-mix.

I cheched out its Ph is 6.60 and watering I will keep it around 7.

I am looking around about some nutrients in order to feed my clones when I will get it. I have been through the "cannabis growing bible" and I read that I will need 2 bottles of nutrients. One it should be with NPK more or less at same value for veg, and one with P higher than NK.

The book talks about value of NPK around 10 10 12 - 8 8 10 or 10 20 10 - 8 16 8, but what I found in my city's shop are bottles of Bio product called or Bio Canna or Plagron or Bio Bizz but all of them have very low level of NPK, like 3-1-3 or 4-1-2 both for veg and flowering (as the shop's guy told me).

Do you have already tried one of them, any suggestion?
Do you know about the difference of NPK value? For instance I am checking now on line, a Plagron fertilizer for flowering has NPK : 2-2-4, which is something wrong following the book's instruction.....I am a bit confuded.... :-(

Oh yeah you're right, that's a new line I hadn't seen before.

I finally bought the coconut to mix with it.

I am thinking about mix a 60% of ground and a 40% of coconut. Do you think are they good proportion?

farmergiles

It's up to you really. 100% soil or 100% coco will both work fine.

Coco will aid drainage which is good for the roots but you'll have to water more often.
Also coco will thin the nutrients in the soil so you'll have to feed them more.
