This can take 15 to 20 mins.  Now is the point at which it is best to add any further substrates you require such as perlite or clay pebbles.\u003cbr\u003eAdd your expanded potting mix to a suitable pot and then add your plant. Plants propagated in Jiffy7C plugs or ROOT!T sponge plugs will have a head start ready to thrive in your PRO7 premium substrate.\u003cbr\u003eStart to feed with a professional fertiliser such as VitaLink Coco Coir Grow, a vega nutrient proven to promote rapid root development and vigorous early growth. Mix in 1-2 ml\/L of each of A and B solutions to your water for seedlings and young plants. Begin to increase the dose rate once you see your seedlings or plants have established and are actively growing. Use at 3-4 ml\/L of each of A and B solutions for mature plants.\u003cbr\u003eAlways check the water quality in your area and ensure you are using the correct variant – either hard water or soft water. In very soft water areas, we recommend a half strength CalMag supplement such as Vitalink CalMag (0.5ml\/L) during the growth stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedia: 100% Coco Pith\u003cbr\u003eCompressed: Yes\u003cbr\u003eRHP: Yes\u003cbr\u003eBuffered: Yes\u003cbr\u003ePre fertilised: No\u003cbr\u003eVolume: 70L when expanded\u003cbr\u003eWater needed to expand each block – 30L for a drier mix which is perfect for plants that you wish to ‘water in’ or 35L for a wetter potting mix to plant directly into without ‘watering in’.\u003cbr\u003ePh: 6.0 +\/-1 (1:1,5)     \u003cbr\u003eEC: 0.5 mS\/cm (1:1,5)\u003cbr\u003ePack qty: 1\u003cbr\u003ePack size: 290 x 280 x 140 mm\u003cbr\u003ePack weight: 5 kg (approx.)\u003cbr\u003eBox qty on pallet: 200\u003cbr\u003ePallet Weight: 1000kg\u003cbr\u003eBar Code: 02-055-370\u003cbr\u003eProduct Code: 5034517 150922\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRO7","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419501551959,"sku":"02-055-370","price":11.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/2558\/9335\/files\/02-055-370_1.jpg?v=1777297826","url":"https:\/\/hydrohub.org.uk\/products\/jiffy-pro7-coco-block-5kg-70l","provider":"Hydro Hub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
