Tips for success with Pinegro
We expect your mix will provide faster root development.
Your mix will have good wettability, drainage, and capillary action.
Pinegro provides excellent structural stability.
As with any adjustment to the physical properties of your mix, you willl need to monitor your crops a little more closely.
Some adjustments to your irrigation frequency and timing are expected.
If the top of the pot looks dry, check below the surface. It may still have enough moisture.
We suggest tipping your plants out regularly to monitor root development and moisture content.
Due to a drier pot surface, we expect that you will see a reduction in liverwort and Sciarid fly.
We recommend you test the pH & EC regularly during the growing season.
Your potting machine may need adjustment.
