Description

Product Description

Atami Janeco Light Mix 50L is a brilliant base substrate applicable to nearly every plant and crop. The mix is lightly fertilised ensuring that plants with a more complex starter phase do not become over-fertilised. It has perlite content giving it great aeration and ideal water management.

Key Features

Light and airy structure
Does not collapse during the breeding period
Pre-fertilized for 2 (up to a maximum of 4) weeks – depending on the growing conditions
Better air storage than pure peat substrates
Very good water storage

How It Works

It contains several different kinds of peat moss. These can offer superior water storage that is optimal for soil cultivation. Roots require converting sugar into energy through oxygen which the perlite also provides sufficiently.

How to Use It and What It Is Used For

This substrate is perfect for striking cuttings and clones. While dependant on the size and type of plant and their pots, Atami Janeco Light Mix 50L should have enough fertiliser for 2 weeks. In some cases the feed is enough for 3-4 weeks. Afterwards, liquid fertiliser should be used to maintain the nutrient balance of the substrate.

What is Atami Janeco Light Mix?

This 50-liter bag contains a carefully balanced blend of high-quality peat, perlite, and a small amount of pre-added nutrients. It's ideal for seedlings, cuttings, and plants that prefer a lighter substrate. The mix provides excellent aeration, drainage, and root development support.

Does Atami Janeco Light Mix contain perlite?

Yes, Atami Janeco Light Mix contains perlite. The perlite in this mix helps improve aeration and drainage, preventing soil compaction and promoting healthy root growth. The combination of peat and perlite creates an ideal balance of water retention and oxygen availability, making it suitable for a wide range of plants and growing styles.

How long does Janeco Light Mix last?

A 50L bag of Atami Janeco Light Mix typically lasts for one growing cycle, which is about 3-4 months for most plants. The light nutrient content means you'll need to start supplementing with additional fertilizers earlier than with heavier mixes. For long-term or heavy feeding plants, you may need to replenish nutrients more frequently.

Is Janeco Light Mix suitable for seedlings?

Absolutely! Atami Janeco Light Mix is excellent for seedlings and cuttings. Its light texture and balanced aeration properties create an ideal environment for delicate root systems to develop. The minimal pre-added nutrients reduce the risk of burning young plants, making it a safe choice for starting seeds or rooting cuttings.

Can I use Janeco Light Mix for hydroponics?

While Atami Janeco Light Mix is primarily designed for soil-based cultivation, it can be adapted for some hydroponic setups, particularly in drip systems or for plants that prefer a substrate. However, for most hydroponic applications, it's better to use specially formulated hydroponic mediums or inert substrates like rockwool or coco coir.

How often should I water plants in Janeco Light Mix?

Watering frequency for plants in Atami Janeco Light Mix depends on factors like plant type, size, climate, and container. Generally, water when the top inch of the mix feels dry. The light texture means it may dry out faster than heavier mixes, so monitor moisture levels closely, especially for young plants or in warm conditions.

Do I need to add nutrients to Janeco Light Mix?

Atami Janeco Light Mix contains a small amount of pre-added nutrients, but you'll need to start supplementing with additional fertilizers relatively early in the growing cycle.

What plants grow best in Janeco Light Mix?

Can Janeco Light Mix be used outdoors?

When using outdoors, ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging during heavy rains. You may need to water and fertilize more frequently than with heavier outdoor soils.

How does Janeco Light Mix affect pH levels?

Atami Janeco Light Mix is pH-balanced to provide an optimal growing environment for most plants, typically ranging from 5.5 to 6.5. This pH range is ideal for nutrient uptake in most plant species. However, it's good practice to monitor pH levels regularly, especially when adding nutrients, and adjust if necessary to maintain the optimal range for your specific plants.
