7. Use InformationThis product is designed to be ready to use right out of the bag. Compressed mix should be �u�ed after removal from the package. Flu� the product by opening package, removing product and gently mixing. Avoid over mixing. Loose-�ll product should be �u�ed for maximum yield. The addition of a small amount of moisture during �u�ng is advantageous; however, over application of moisture will degrade the structure of the blend. No other nutritional additives are necessary. It is recommended that growers initiate a sound nutritional program immediately following planting based on the quality of water used. Sun Gro’s Technigro® brand fertilizer is recommended. Using the Sun Gro Horticultural Testing Lab is also highly recommended.

7. Use InformationThis product is designed to be ready to use right out of the bag. Compressed mix should be �u�ed after removal from the package. Flu� the product by opening package, removing product and gently mixing. Avoid over mixing. Loose-�ll product should be �u�ed for maximum yield. The addition of a small amount of moisture during �u�ng is advantageous; however, over application of moisture will degrade the structure of the blend. No other nutritional additives are necessary. It is recommended that growers initiate a sound nutritional program immediately following planting based on the quality of water used. Sun Gro’s Technigro® brand fertilizer is recommended. Using the Sun Gro Horticultural Testing Lab is also highly recommended.
