When it comes to choosing substrates and nutrients, there is no single truth. Our first given in this respect is you, your experience and preferences, facility setup and ambitions. From there, we can advise you in the direction that works best for you. Cannabis is a crop like no other. You can simply feed it with NPK's and it will grow normally, but it will be tough to compete with our customers. It's the end product selling price that counts in the end: the value going in determines the value coming out again. Plagron tested each and every product in dedicated cannabis research projects, both internally and externally. Nutrient formulas were upgraded over time, based on experience with customers and innovation from within. Our research programs cover a broad range of products, like biostimulants, enzymes, organic and mineral matter. By crossing new findings and insights, we discover new ways to improve cultivation results and even outperform competitive products. As a heads up, we give you some insights about different options in substrates and nutrients. We keep hearing quite some myths and misunderstandings about our kind of products in the field. You are welcome to reach out to us and we will be more than happy to tell you all you want to know.
Liquid or powder nutrients? When you are used to liquids, this is probably more secure and comfortable to use than powders and it's also quicker and easier in terms of handling. Water Soluble Fertilizers (WSF) save logistical costs: we don't need to carry water. On the other hand, your local water quality might become an issue (which we can solve) and mixing concentrates properly is not as easy as it may seem (we can solve that, too).
Pro Liquid: Time is money. Liquid fertilizers are your best friend.
Recommended base nutrients: Base A, Base B.
Powder Fertilizers: Control is key. Water soluble powder fertilizers are what helps you achieve it. Your light regime is the traditional 18/6 for grow and 12/12 for flower.
Recommended base nutrients: Pro Veg, Pro Flower, Pro Base.
Our liquid additives PFA7, PFA15 are compatible with our powder fertilizers.
Pro Liquid
If time is money, the nutrients we’d recommend are both liquids: Base A and Base B. These mineral nutrients not only get you quick results, they’re also ready to use. That means you don’t need to spend your time carefully mixing powders into your nutrient solution. Time you can spend on extra plant care to get those fast yet amazing results you’re after!
Water soluble fertilizers
So you like to be in control. We get it. That’s why all base nutrients in our powder line are water soluble fertilizers (WSF). All our WSF products don’t use components with crystal water, because you add water yourself. That means these fertilizers are maximally concentrated and efficient in storage and use. They’re also fully dissolvable. We can guarantee a clean, trouble-free use in all irrigation systems.
Additives
No matter which style you choose, you can always use additives for even better results. Our assortment currently contains two, with more in the works. PFA7 shortens the cultivation cycle and improves plant molecule biosynthesis for flower formation. PFA15 is a flower booster that contains a unique nutrient combination of phosphate, iron and potassium. It is used in the late flower phase to optimize the bud formation.
