Plagron - Easy Pack 100% Terra

A mineral starter set with three bottles from the 100% TERRA range and a grow schedule, holding nutrition for roughly four plants through a full cycle.

You will probably have grow nutrient left over

Plagron say this about the pack themselves, and it is the sort of remark you rarely read from a manufacturer, so it is worth repeating.

The pack holds equal amounts of grow and bloom nutrient: 250 ml of each. The growth phase of most plants is shorter than the flowering phase. The consequence is that at the end of your grow you will probably have Terra Grow left while finishing the Terra Bloom exactly.

That is not a miscalculation in the box but a choice for simplicity: two equal bottles are easier to write onto a schedule than two unequal ones. By comparison, the larger Top Grow Box from the same maker does build that skew in, with 100 ml of grow against a litre of bloom.

In practice your leftover Terra Grow simply carries over to your next grow. Do not throw it out because the pack is finished, and on a second round buy the bloom nutrient first.

What is in the pack

• 250 ml Terra Grow, mineral base nutrient for the growth phase, NPK 3-1-3.
• 250 ml Terra Bloom, mineral base nutrient for the flowering phase, NPK 2-2-4.
• 50 ml Green Sensation, the 4-in-1 booster for flowering.
• A manual with a grow schedule and the weekly dosage.

What the quantity is based on

The same basis as the organic Easy Pack: roughly four plants, eight weeks of growth and eight weeks of flowering. The assumptions about pot size and watering are set out on that page.

If your growth phase runs past the two weeks in the schedule, repeat the dose from the final growth week.

Mineral nutrition asks for measuring

This set works with directly available nutrition, so your crop responds quickly and you can correct along the way. Against that, there is no soil life in between to absorb an over-heavy dose, so keeping track of your pH and EC comes with it.

If you would rather not measure, look at the organic Easy Pack in the same series: there the soil life takes that work over, in exchange for a slower response to what you give.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I have Terra Grow left?
Because the pack holds as much grow nutrient as bloom nutrient while the growth phase is shorter. Keep the remainder for your next grow.

How many plants is this for?
Roughly four, on the same basis as the organic Easy Pack.

My growth phase runs longer than two weeks.
Repeat the dose from the final growth week. There is nutrition for eight weeks of growth.

Do I need to track pH and EC?
Yes. With mineral nutrition there is no soil life to absorb an over-heavy dose.

What is the difference from the Natural Easy Pack?
Mineral base nutrients instead of organic ones: faster to respond, but you measure rather than the substrate handling it.
