BioBizz Light Mix Peat Free 50 L, organic peat-free substrate

Product detailed description

The organic peat-free growing substrate BioBizz Light-Mix Peat Free provides an ideal foundation for supporting vigorous root development and the growth of seedlings, young plants or cuttings. It is a light, airy substrate with almost no nutrients, vegan-grade and suitable for indoor and outdoor growing.

An ecological alternative to peat

Light-Mix Peat Free is designed to provide growers with an ecological alternative to traditional peat-based substrates while allowing complete control over fertilisation. The peat-free substrate with perlite promotes vital microbial activity – water works together with the soil to create organic catalysts that rapidly develop root structures. The roots therefore have access to both air and water, which is essential for strong growth. Thanks to its composition, it also contains a large amount of beneficial fungi that support the natural decomposition of organic material in the substrate.

Composition

The substrate consists exclusively of renewable and sustainable materials – coconut fibre, wood fibre, composted bark, miscanthus, perlite and other organic materials. These components imitate the beneficial properties of peat (lightness, aeration and water retention). The light and airy nature of the substrate promotes excellent drainage, reducing the risk of waterlogging and root rot – this is particularly beneficial for seedlings and young plants.

How to use the substrate

As it contains only minimal nutrients, you can use higher doses of fertiliser for any type of plant, including heavy feeders, without risking overloading the soil and burning the roots. With automatic watering, it is important that the water penetrates the substrate correctly; otherwise, it may become too wet and mould may develop.

What and when to fertilise

As the substrate contains almost no nutrients, you can start feeding from an early growth stage. For rooting (the first 1-2 weeks), use Root-Juice; for subsequent growth, use Bio-Grow. Better nutrient uptake throughout the growing period is supported by Bio-Heaven. Exact doses can be found in the BioBizz feeding chart.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start fertilising in Light-Mix Peat Free?

The substrate contains almost no nutrients, so you can fertilise from an early growth stage – first use Root-Juice for rooting, followed by Bio-Grow for growth.

What should I use for fertilisation?

Root-Juice for rooting, Bio-Grow for growth and Bio-Heaven as a nutrient uptake booster throughout the cycle. For exact doses, see the feeding chart.

Do I need to adjust the pH?

The specific pH value of this substrate is not stated. In general, BioBizz recommends maintaining a pH range of 6.2 - 6.5 for growing.
