Plagron Calcium Kick – Organic Calcium Provider for Crop Nutrition

Frequently asked questions

• What is Plagron Calcium Kick?

  Calcium Kick is a calcium supplement that acts as a pH regulator and a deficiency corrector, raising the pH of the nutrient solution to the ideal level, between 5.5 and 6.5. It also improves soil structure so the plant takes up nutrients optimally, stimulating its metabolism and its growth.

• What is Calcium Kick made of?

  Its components include calcified seaweed, 40% calcium oxide and 1% magnesium oxide. It is a solid product that supplies the calcium your grow needs to prevent deficiencies.

• Can I use it in automatic irrigation systems?

  It is not recommended. Unlike other products, Calcium Kick is solid and does not dissolve easily in water, so it is not a good idea to use it in automatic irrigation systems.

• How and when do you apply it?

  It goes into the soil right before planting or transplanting. Outdoors, use between 5 and 12 kg per 100 m2; for indoor grows in potting soil, between 2.5 and 5 grams per litre of substrate. In both cases mix it in thoroughly and bear in mind that these amounts raise the pH by 1 to 2 points.

• Is it suitable for organic growing?

  Yes, if your grow is organic you can use it without any problem, as it holds a CU certificate accrediting it as a product for organic farming. Using it will also not affect your EC reading.

• Can it bring a worn-out soil back to life?

  Yes, one of the reasons growers use it is that it improves soil structure. If your soil is already worn out, you can revitalise it by applying this product.
