Plagron Light Mix is made from carefully selected peat types and perlite to create a light, airy soil structure with excellent drainage and oxygen availability. The substrate is lightly pre-fertilised, supplying just enough nutrition for the first week of growth while allowing growers to start feeding almost immediately.

This makes Light Mix an excellent choice for growers using liquid nutrients who want full control over EC levels and nutrient strength from an early stage. Suitable for use throughout the entire grow cycle, it’s a versatile option for both beginners and experienced growers.
