Plagron - Top Grow Box 100% Natural

A complete organic nutrient set for one square metre, with five bottles from Plagron's 100% NATURAL range, a measuring cup and a grow schedule.

Why this box holds Vita Race and no enzymes

This is the only real difference from the Terra box beside it, and Plagron explain where it comes from themselves.

In mineral cultivation you have to add enzymes. They break down dead root material and keep the medium clean, and in a substrate without soil life that does not happen by itself. The substrates in the 100% NATURAL range do contain microbiological life, and that produces enzymes of its own. Adding them there would be doubling up.

So this box holds Vita Race instead of Pure Zym: a foliar feed with iron, doing something other than the enzymes you do not need here. You are not getting a lesser box, you are getting the box that belongs with a living substrate.

Something does follow from that for your purchase. This set assumes you are growing on a substrate that actually has that soil life. If you use a sterile or poor medium, the assumption the composition rests on is missing, and the Terra box with Pure Zym is the more logical choice.

What is in the box

• 100 ml Alga Grow, organic base nutrient for the growth phase, NPK 4-2-4.
• 1 litre Alga Bloom, organic base nutrient for the flowering phase, NPK 3-2-5.
• 100 ml Power Roots, root stimulator for the early weeks.
• 100 ml Vita Race, foliar feed with iron.
• 100 ml Green Sensation, the 4-in-1 booster for flowering.
• A measuring cup graduated from 1 to 25 ml and a grow schedule with the weekly dosage.

A hundred millilitres of grow against a litre of bloom

That ratio stands out and it is correct. The flowering phase lasts longer than the growth phase and the dose rises through it, so simply far more bloom nutrient goes through.

It also means the bottle of Alga Grow empties first. Anyone continuing with the same range after this box will be buying new grow nutrient before new bloom nutrient.

Who this box is for

The quantities are matched to a grow of roughly one square metre, for a full cycle. The included schedule tells you week by week which product goes in at what dose, so you do not have to build a schedule yourself.

Choose this box over the Terra version if you want to grow organically, and over the Easy Pack if you want the root stimulator and the foliar feed included rather than base nutrition with a single booster.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there no enzymes in it?
Because the substrates in this range hold soil life that produces enzymes itself. That is why it contains Vita Race instead of Pure Zym.

What is the difference from the Terra box?
Organic base nutrients instead of mineral ones, and Vita Race instead of the enzymes. The rest of the composition matches.

Why so much more bloom nutrient than grow nutrient?
The flowering phase is longer and the dose rises through it. The bottle of Alga Grow is the first to empty.

What is the difference from the Easy Pack?
The Easy Pack holds three products: base nutrients and Green Sensation. This box adds a root stimulator and a foliar feed.

How do I know when to give what?
The grow schedule in the box sets out week by week which product you add and at what dose.
