Plagron - Top Grow Box 100% Terra

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

Why this one does contain enzymes

This box holds Pure Zym and the organic counterpart does not, and that is not a price difference but a consequence of the medium you grow on.

Mineral cultivation runs on substrates without meaningful microbiology. So there is no soil life there producing enzymes, while those enzymes do have work to do: breaking down dead root material into something available again, and stopping salts from standing in the medium.

In the organic range from the same maker that happens by itself, because the substrate is alive. Which is why the Natural box gets Vita Race instead of Pure Zym. Two boxes, the same layout, one component differing for a reason that lies with the substrate rather than the box.

What is in the box

• 100 ml Terra Grow, mineral base nutrient for the growth phase, NPK 3-1-3.
• 1 litre Terra Bloom, mineral base nutrient for the flowering phase, NPK 2-2-4.
• 100 ml Power Roots, root stimulator for the early weeks.
• 100 ml Pure Zym, enzyme complex for the whole cycle.
• 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.

Measuring comes with it

Mineral nutrition is directly available: there is no soil life in between converting the dose first and correcting on the way. That is why this range responds quickly and why you can adjust a schedule mid-grow.

It is also why you have to watch your own numbers. In mineral cultivation, keeping track of pH and EC is part of the job, because there is no buffer absorbing a dose that is too heavy or too light. Anyone who would rather not do that work is better served by the organic Natural box.

Plagron advise combining this set with their Lightmix or Growmix, substrates matched to the 100% TERRA nutrients.

The ratio inside the box

There is 100 ml of grow nutrient against a full litre of bloom nutrient. That is not a mistake: the flowering period lasts longer and the dose rises, so most of it goes through there. The bottle of Terra Grow runs out first.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this hold Pure Zym when the Natural box does not?
Because a mineral substrate has no soil life producing enzymes of its own. In the organic range that does happen, so it carries Vita Race instead.

Do I need to measure pH and EC?
Yes, that comes with mineral nutrition. There is no soil life absorbing a dose that is too heavy or too light.

Which substrate do I use with it?
Plagron advise Lightmix or Growmix, which are matched to these nutrients.

Why a litre of bloom and only 100 ml of grow?
The flowering phase lasts longer and the dose rises. Terra Grow runs out first.

What else is in the box?
A measuring cup graduated from 1 to 25 ml and a grow schedule with the weekly dosage.
