Orgasoilux Omega Mix – 30L

Orgasoilux Omega Mix has been specifically designed for growing cannabis but works well for any heavy feeding annuals such as maize, potatoes, tomatoes and brassicas.

The mix of compost, cocopeat, sphagnum peat moss (sustainably harvested), perlite and earthworm compost/castings gives an excellent soil texture which drains perfectly while still holding the correct amount of water.

The compost, castings, raw nutrients and minerals mixed into the soil will provide enough food for the plant and soil microbes for 3 – 6 months depending on the plant.

Orgasoilux has also been designed to be reused, by simply adding a top dressing of the Elemental Blend: mineral and nutrient pack. To enhance and unlock the full potential of Orgasoilux, it is recommended that beneficial root fungi- mycorrhizal fungi can be used when transplanting (note this is not needed for the brassica family due to a different microbial community in their rhizosphere). Mulch is also highly recommended as it performs various beneficial functions on the soil from insulation and pest deterrent to providing a slow release of nutrients.

Features:
  • Natural carbon source
  • Growing boutique-quality Cannabis
  • Fast growth in the greenhouse, indoor and outdoor environments
  • Maximum terpene and cannabinoid production in Cannabis
  • Heavy yields
  • Pest resistance
  • Microbial biodiversity
  • Continuous use
Feeding:

The soil has been amended with many mineral and nutrients which will sustain the plant or plants’ nutritional requirements for some time. For those who want to use an organic liquid nutrient feeding program, you may begin after the second week of the vegetative growing stage, but may want to lighten the standard recommended dosages.

If you prefer not to use additional nutrient programs and grow with a “water only” method, use activated (aerated) compost teas and fermented liquid products. When using the “water only” method, it is important to use large volumes of soil. A rough guideline would be to use 30 – 60L of soil per plant when planning for a 3 month plant cycle (1 veg, 2 bloom, then harvest).

Contents:

Substrates:

  • Compost, Vermicompost, Coco peat, Sphagnum peat moss (sustainably harvested) and perlite.

Amendments:

  • Alfalfa meal, Aloe meal, Basalt Rock Dust, Bio-Char (preloaded with microbes), Canna-Kashi, Calcitic Lime, Copper Powder, Dolomite Lime, Guano (seabird), Gypsum, Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid, Frass, Kelp Meal, Malted Barley, Manganese Oxide, Montmorillonite Clay, Soft Rock Phosphate & Zeolite.

Inoculant:

  • Cannabis Microbial Consortium.

Microgreen Grow Mat

These Microgreen Grow Mats are made from 100% natural, 100% compostable Jute fibers, which are very similar to coir cocomats. These mats are most commonly used to grow microgreens and microherbs with, but can also be used to germinate various other types of seeds, should you want to move these newly germinated seeds into the substrate your choosing once they have cracked open inside of the mats. (The Jute mat will replace the commonly used paper-towels or cotton wool pads)

The mats measure approximately 50cm x 24cm and are about 3 – 4mm thick.

These Microgreen Grow Mats fit perfectly into our 30mm Microgreen Trays With Holes and 30mm Microgreen Tray Without Holes, as can be seen in the photo below…..

The mats are a very popular choice for growing microgreens at home, as it is a soft and airy medium with great moisture retention. Because the microgreen growing cycle is so short, with the seedling relying mostly on nutrients stored inside the seed itself, all you really need to do is place your prepared microgreen trays in a suitable location and keep the Microgreen Grow Mats slightly moist at all times.

Once your seeds have sprouted and grown to a harvestable size, you are able to clip off the delicious micro-leaves for your dishes and salads with a pair of pruning scissors.

Features:
  • Great Microgreen Growing Medium.
  • Fits perfectly into the Microgreen Trays With/Without Holes.
  • Has great water retention.

Please Note: Tray is not included, for scale only.

Atami Cocos Substrate

ATAMI COCOS SUBSTRATE.

Atami Cocos Substrate is a high quality growing medium comprised of coco fibres extracted from the mesocarp of the coconut. It is a 100% natural product and designed so that it can be used immediately.

 

The Atami Cocos Substrate is unique in the fact that it is a coco with light fertiliser included, sufficient enough for the 1st week of plant growth. The buffering ensures the grower has optimum control of pH levels. After the first week you can add water with liquid fertilisers and stimulators to gain optimal growing results. Because of the structure of coco, it can store nutrients that are continually available for the plant.

Cocos Substrate is produced under controlled conditions, which is an assurance of quality and offers the ability to use it over and over again after each growing cycle. It can absorb plenty of water in a short period of time and can also deliver water rapidly and abundantly.

The roots also have plenty of available oxygen, which keeps them active. Despite the absence of residual water, there is always enough humidity for the plant.

Coco substrate is light and stable and is one of the best mediums for providing oxygen to the roots of the growing plants. Atami coco substrates are internationally certified by RHP, a foundation whose aim is to optimize the quality of growing mediums.

The coconut fibres have been washed, steamed and buffered to ensure that the substrate is free from any pathogens and unwanted elements, giving an optimum growing substrate that is suitable for both seeds and cuttings.

ATAMI HIGH POROSITY COCOS

Atami High Porosity Cocos growing medium consists of high-quality aged, washed, buffered and adeptly fertilized coco, with the added benefit of the airiness of perlite.

 

The availability of air is vital for your crops’ root development. Roots need to breathe, as an airy substrate results in the production of more root hairs.  The oxygen is required to process sugars into energy. Using this energy, the roots can expand and actively supply more nutrients to the rest of your crop.

This is why it is essential that a substrate offers a high air percentage. Any airy substrate provides proper drainage and a continuous air supply.

The Atami High Porosity Cocos is unique in the fact that it is a coco with light fertiliser included, sufficient enough for the 1st week of plant growth. The buffering ensures the grower has optimum control of pH levels. After the first week you can add water with liquid fertilisers and stimulators to gain optimal growing results. Because of the structure of coco, it can store nutrients that are continually available for the plant.

Atami Bi-Grow Mix

ATAMI BI-GROW MIX

Atami Bi-Grow Mix is a high quality substrate. Its composition is well balanced for optimum development of a wide variety of plants. Bi-Growmix is a mix of many types of high quality peat and coco fibres.

 

An important feature of Atami Bi-Grow Mix is its air/water ratio. The gaps present in Bi-Grow Mix may be filled with water and air. Thanks to the coco fibres, gaps filled with air take in a higher volume, which means more oxygen benefits for the plant. Bi-Grow Mix does not retract and easily absorbs water. Nutrients are gradually released and are thus constantly available for the plant. The presence of coco fibres facilitates root development.

As far as the amount and ratio of the fertilizers is concerned, this substrate can be considered as medium.

Because the Bi-Growmix is pre-fertilized you don’t need to add any nutrients during the first weeks of the cultivation, depending on how many plants and pot size. After this starting period it is advised to add liquid fertilizer to the nutrient water for optimal results.

Bi-Grow Mix contains coco and peat. The coco ensures an open structure so the roots can grow optimally which is especially important for the uptake of nutrients for a stronger and more resilient plant.

Features:
  • Pre-fertilized: ( NPK 12-14-24, 700 grams per cubic meter ) EC < 1750 µS/cm
  • Open structure
  • No need to add any nutrients during the first weeks
  • Good Foundation for Successful Growing
