Plagron Royal Mix 50L – Premium Substrate with Nutrients for Organic Cultivation in Soil

Frequently asked questions

• Do I need to add anything else to Plagron Royal Mix 50L?

  Its blend of selected peats lets you go through every growing stage without needing to add anything extra to the substrate. Your job basically comes down to keeping an eye on the pH of the irrigation water. This way the plants feed properly and come out robust and lush.

• What is its composition?

  It's made up of peat, perlite, worm humus and organic fertilizer. Its pH sits between 6.4 and 7.8, its EC between 1.0 and 1.6 ms/cm, and the NPK is 1-2-1. It's a very fine base designed to give harvests with a clearly organic flavour.

• Does it work well in warm climates?

  Yes, its moisture retention factor allows it to adapt to any climate. It really stands out in warm or tropical areas, where the soil is around 20 degrees. Under those conditions it holds on to moisture so you don't have to be watering all day long.

• Who is this substrate suited to?

  It's ideal both for those who want to grow without major complications and for the perfectionist looking for a good base to add selected nutrients to. In both cases the result is beautiful plants and a memorable harvest. Its organic character comes through in the final flavour.

• What's an alternative if I'd rather fertilize myself?

  If what you're after is a light substrate to fertilize to your own taste, the recommended option is Plagron Light Mix. Royal Mix goes in exactly the opposite direction, with nutrients already built in. Choose based on how much control you want over the feeding.

• What do I need to keep an eye on during the grow?

  Mainly the pH of the water you use for watering, which is practically the only thing you need to keep track of. As long as you keep it in check, the plants make good use of the nutrients the substrate already provides. It's a very simple approach even if you don't have much experience.
