PRO-MIX

The medium in which you choose to grow ultimately determines how suc-
cessful and heavy your future harvest will be. Introduced in 1968, Pro-Mix
has been an industry standard for growing mediums ever since. The original
peat-moss-based formulation is light and airy, providing increased drainage
for the perfect wet/dry cycle that cannabis roots prefer. Newer versions are
enhanced with bio-fungicide and/or mycorrhizae, which fights disease and
inoculates the medium with beneficial bacteria and microbes.BEST ROOT BOOSTERSUITE LEAF BIOACTIVE HUMATES

When you improve the overall health of your plant’s root system, you increase your
plant’s size and ability to take in more water and nutrients, resulting in bigger yields of
trichome-laden flowers. The Bioactive Humates liquid plant amendment from Suite Leaf
Nutrients provides your plant’s roots with humic and fulvic acid as well as beneficial mi-
crobes and microorganisms that increase uptake and root mass. The formula, manufac-
tured in the USA, is beyond organic (it’s actually vegan!) and works great as a foliar feed
for vegetating leaves as well. m
