Light Mix™
– Growing Media –
Grotek Light Mix™ is a professional growing medium for potted plants. High-quality peat, perlite, and a highly effective combination of premium fertilizer and additional micronutrients are the basis for this professional mixture. Grotek Light Mix™ is a ready-to-use, all-round mixture that provides for healthy growth and a plentiful harvest.
The proportion of medium-coarse peat gives this mix a high water holding capacity, without becoming saturated. Perlite, the white volcanic rock, optimizes porosity for ideal air exchange and water circulation, preventing waterlogging for improved root growth.
A unique combination of premium starter fertilizer and additional micronutrient fertilizer is immediately available with a long-term effect. The exact-dosed fertilizer supplies plants with all main and trace nutrients, supporting up to four weeks of strong, healthy growth right from the start.
