Atami Janeco Light Mix 100L – Light Mixing Substrate for Indoor Growing

Frequently asked questions

• How long can I water with just water when using Janeco Light Mix?

  The built-in fertilisation is enough to feed the plant with just water during the first week of growing. From then on you need to fertilise with light doses of liquid fertilisers, increasing them gradually as the plants grow.

• What climate is this substrate recommended for?

  It's ideal for humid areas and for grows where the soil doesn't dry out too much, in other words, environments with high relative humidity. Watering with the right amounts, the soil dries out every 2-3 days.

• What's the composition of Atami Janeco Light Mix?

  It's made up of top-quality peat, Sphagnum peat and blonde Sphagnum peat, combined with perlite, mineral lime and fertiliser. Its values are pH 5.7, EC 1.5 and NPK 12-14-24.

• What does the included perlite add?

  Perlite keeps the substrate light and creates an optimal saturation balance. Since the soil doesn't get waterlogged, you get strong, healthy roots throughout the whole grow.

• Is it suitable for autoflowering plants?

  Yes, it's a soil that's especially suited for autoflowering plants. It's also chosen by growers who like to control exactly what their plants are fed right from the start, since the peats come without any pre-fertilisation.

• When should I start fertilising after transplanting?

  The manufacturer recommends starting to fertilise at least one week after transplanting. To get the most out of it, it's recommended to pair it with fertilisers from the Atami brand itself. If you'd rather have a substrate that's already fertilised and ready to grow in, we also have a range of enriched substrates.
