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.

Flu� the product by opening package, removing product and gently mixing. Avoid over mixing. Loose-�ll product should be �u�ed for maximum yield.
