WHAT IS LIGHT-MIX® PEAT FREE?

Light-Mix® Peat Free is designed to provide gardeners, growers, and horticultural professionals with an eco-friendly alternative to traditional peat-based substrates whilst still providing you with control over your plants. Light-Mix® Peat Free provides the ideal
foundation for encouraging vigorous growth in seedlings, young plants and cuttings - Right from the beginning. It gets the vital micro
activity going as the water works with the soil, producing organic catalysts that rapidly develop root structures. This ensures that roots
have access to both air and water, which is crucial for robust plant growth. Light-Mix® Peat Free allows growers to run a more personalized grow cycle as its lightly fertilized composition gives you the flexibility to add the additional nutrients tailored to your plant’s needs.

PEAT FREE COMPOSITION:

Light-Mix® Peat Free is composed entirely of renewable and sustainable materials with a blend that contains components like coir
(coconut fiber), wood fiber, composted bark, miscanthus, perlite, and other organic materials. The ingredients of this sustainable
growing medium are carefully chosen to emulate the beneficial properties of peat, such as lightness, aeration, and water retention.
The light and airy nature of this substrate also promotes excellent drainage, reducing the Risk of waterlogging and root rot, which is
particularly beneficial for seedlings and Young plants.

HOW TO USE IT

When using Light-Mix® Peat Free you can apply larger nutrient doses to any kind of plant, including heavy feeders, without the risk of overloading the soil and causing a nutrient burn - indicated by yellowing and crunchy, burnt tips on the leaves. With automatic watering it’s important that the water properly infiltrates the substrate, or this can become too wet and cause mold to form.
