Which Biobizz soil should you choose for growing, LightMix or AllMix?

Indoor growing requires special attention to provide plants with an ideal environment that encourages their growth and flowering. Choosing the right potting soil is crucial to optimize plant development. In this article, we will explore in detail the characteristics of potting soils Biobizz Light•Mix® and All•Mix® to help you make an informed choice.

Presentation of the soils Biobizz

Light•Mix®

THE Light•Mix® of Biobizz is a growing medium designed to provide maximum control to growers. This mix is ideal for those who wish to encourage vigorous growth of seedlings, young plants, and cuttings from the very beginning. Here are its main characteristics:

• Composition : Light•Mix® is a light mixture that triggers essential micro-activity as soon as water penetrates the soil. It produces biological catalysts that promote the rapid development of root structures.
• Optimal drainage : This substrate is specially designed to ensure perfect drainage, making it ideal for automatic irrigation systems. Good water management is essential to avoid saturation and the development of mold.
• PH and EC values : Light•Mix® contains only natural biological elements, without mineral salts such as magnesium or sulfates. This guarantees low electrical conductivity (EC) and a self-regulating system that maintains pH values at a suitable level.
• Recommended use : Light•Mix® allows a more abundant use of fertilizers with any type of plant, even the most demanding, without risking burning nutrients or overloading the soil.

All•Mix®

THE All•Mix® of Biobizz is a highly pre-fertilized substrate, designed to provide an optimal environment for your plants all year round. This soil is ideal for growers looking for a ready-to-use substrate that requires little intervention. Here's what sets it apart:

• Composition : All•Mix® is designed to mimic fertile outdoor soil with a complete micro-active ecosystem. It contains enough nutrients to support lush growth for approximately two weeks without additional fertilizer.
• Maintaining pH and EC values : As with Light•Mix®, All•Mix® uses only natural biological components, which gives it a very low electrical conductivity (EC). The integrated self-regulating system helps maintain an optimal pH for plant growth.
• Recommended use : Before first use, it is recommended to moisten the soil and let it sit for 36 hours. The soil should remain slightly warm so as not to slow down microbial activity, and it is important to let it dry between waterings to allow fresh air to penetrate and the soil to breathe.

Comparison between Light•Mix® and All•Mix®

Culture Objectives

• Light•Mix® is perfect for growers who want greater control over nutrient addition. It is ideal for starting seedlings, young plants and cuttings, where optimal drainage and a well-controlled environment are required to avoid excess moisture.
• All•Mix® is designed for those who prefer a ready-to-use potting soil with pre-fertilized nutrients, perfect for growing with less initial intervention and for those looking to mimic rich, fertile soil.

Watering Requirements

• Light•Mix® requires special attention to watering to prevent the substrate from becoming too wet. Good drainage is essential to prevent mold, especially in automatic irrigation systems.
• All•Mix®, on the other hand, should be kept slightly moist but not saturated. Allowing the potting soil to dry out between waterings is crucial to allow the soil to breathe and beneficial microorganisms to thrive.

PH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) Values

Both soils have a low EC value thanks to the exclusive use of natural organic components. This feature reduces the risk of plant burn due to an accumulation of mineral salts, frequently encountered with substrates enriched with synthetic fertilizers. They also maintain an optimal pH, contributing to the overall health of the plants.

Packaging and Transport of Potting Soils Biobizz

All soils Biobizz, including Light•Mix® and All•Mix®, are shipped in specific, neutral and very resistant packages to guarantee safe delivery. This ensures that the product arrives in perfect condition, without alteration of its quality.
