EN Product special 22

Introduction

Dear friends and growers,

after our long (intellectual and botanical) wande ring, here we are at the last issue of the year. As usual, the edition that ends each year’s informa tion cycle is enriched by one of our most famous features: the ‘Special Product’.

As in previous years, Special Product 2022 returns to tell the story of a highly specialised manufac turing community, the spearhead of an industry that is constantly evolving with a clear focus on the pressing needs of its consumers.

In your hands you have our Special Product 2022, a collection of the best that the market has been able to offer in this turbulent year full of upheavals inclu ding an infamous war that is again ravaging the Eu ropean continent, an energy crisis that is causing a lot of difficulties to European industries and, finally, inflation that is slashing household consumption. In short, we are living through a historical period when complexity has become such that continuing to study and report it becomes an increasingly daring and, for this very reason, necessary task.

But let us get back to our passions, i.e., our hands dirty with soil, hydroponic systems, optimised irrigation, automated parameter control through state-of-the-art control units, balanced nutrition of our beloved plants, their harvest, curing and, ultimately, quality and responsible consumption. Indeed, despite all the daily troubles, among which the energy price increase certainly stands out in importance, the community of growers, who are also our cherished readership, are searching for new solutions to continue pursuing their goals and build spaces of freedom and awareness through botanical practice.

We are all devoted to growing a living being that provides beneficial effects in our lives. This is a two-way relationship of mutual interest, love and attention in its purest state. Our observation and lis tening abilities and, therefore, our expected results become more ambitious year after year. Curiosity and humility lead us towards new discoveries, new

techniques and new products to improve our culti vation techniques.

The concept or, better said, the philosophy that should guide us in these confusing times is defi nitely one of planning, without losing sight of the need to ensure measure and balance in the setup and design of our grow rooms, and the installation of all the necessary components. Design, measu re and balance will ultimately drive down energy consumption.

Fortunately, over the last decade, LED technology has significantly contributed to the availability on the market of affordable products ensuring non-ne gligible energy savings and, consequently, higher returns. Giving plants the light spectrum that they need at every stage of their development clearly works towards a shorter but more efficient cultivati on cycle. Beyond lighting, however, how can money be saved in the next cultivation cycle? Certainly, by ensuring the thermal insulation of your grow space. Create a micro-climate where you are the absolute master. Leave no detail out and remember to use equipment that perfectly controls all the botani cal parameters involved in plant growth such as lighting, of course, but also temperature, humidity and CO2.

Leave nothing to chance and you will manage to harvest compact and resinous buds this season.

Rely on quality growers who can provide products designed for professional, hassle-free botanical processes. Remember that the key to your success is the very measure of your targeted investments. By using measure and balance, you will be able to achieve a healthy crop full of fragrances to enjoy this year too!

May Pachamama protect you and your passion!

Supersoil Products Intro

There are several Supersoil formulas among growers. Supersoil is a fertilisation and manuring technique in which the soil, not the plant, is fed by applying various products suitable for organic farming, as well as beneficial micro-organisms. The fertilisers and soil improvers provided are ‘digested’ by the micro-organisms, which convert these ingredients into fertilisers that can be assimilated by the plant through its roots.

In addition, these microorganisms contribute to creating an ecosystem in the root ball and surrounding area that benefits the plant, transfor ming non-assimilable nutrients into assimilable ones, creating a protective barrier against fungal diseases, and increasing the capacity of the plant to absorb water and nutrients.

At Mycoterra, we differentiate between two types of Supersoil cultivation techniques. The first consist in selecting a product (Mycoterra F1) that carries the nutrients necessary for the entire lifecycle of the plant and only micro-organisms, SW1, SW2 and bat guano have to be added (during flowering). According to the other technique, growers create their own ‘recipe’ from individual nutrients using the products described below in the section

CREATE YOUR FORMULA. These include sea weed meal, blood meal, bone meal, Phosphorock, Azorock, biochar, bat guano, diatomaceous earth, insect frass, alfalfa meal, fish meal, the ‘All-in-One’ product and calcium dolomite. In this case, we will provide you with several formula options on which you can base your particular formula.

Whatever the approach is, the application of SW1, SW2, bat guano and the micro-organisms (Kraken,

pandora and chimera) is however required.

Supersoil can be used both indoors and outdoors with excellent results, as it is totally organic. It is the most natural product that can be grown indoors and produces flowers with a delicious aroma and flavour. You should avoid germination in a substra te to which you have applied Supersoil products because seeds may not germinate or the roots of a cutting may be burnt.

Let the young plants grow a little in a light sub strate (with little fertiliser) and transplant them to Supersoil a couple of weeks later.

What’s inside Fulvic Acid

Fulvic acid is one of the 3 components of hu mus and arises during the digestion of plants by micro-organisms. It is a substance with many positive effects on plant and substrate health. For example, fulvic mobilizes nutri ents to and within plants. Iron and magnesium ions are indispensable for photosynthesis, and fulvic acid promotes the function of transporting those ions in the soil into plant cells by a chelating effect, thereby leading to activation of photosyn thesis.

Fulvic acid plays an essential role in nature in mobilizing minerals and making all kinds of compounds to help plants absorb nutrients.

Dry Rufino XS

This is the most advanced extraction machine on the market and offers three machines in one. The first compartment is for dry trimming. In the second compartment, the biomass undergoes a dry extraction and residues are produced. The third part of the production process consists in injecting CO2 into the chambers, both to speed up the trimming process and to get more out of the hash extraction. The machine is equipped with software to control the CO2 injection and the speeds of the conveyor belt, the trimming tube and the extraction tube. With this software, 4.0 technology subsidies can be requested from the European Union or from the national government of a EU member state. The machine processes between 500 and 600 kilos per hour of dry biomass, there is also a model with a higher

capacity. It is designed and manufactured entirely in Spain, with stainless steel, without any Chinese parts; even the meshes, blades and software are made in Spain, so it can be repaired quickly in case of wear. A conveyor belt can be adapted to convey the biomass to a big bag. Another conveyor belt feeds the biomass. In spite of its processing capacity, it is small in size and can therefore be transported in a van. This machine is the top of the range of the Green Fantasy, a leading-edge manufacturer that can also offer simpler machines, for all needs and budgets.

DryPart Grow and Bloom

DryPart Grow and DryPart Bloom is a singlecomponent powdered fertiliser, made in France along with all our liquid, powdered, mineral and organic fertilisers. This allows us to guarantee the quality of production, and eliminate unnecessary intermediaries and transport. Making DryPart a locally produced and cost-effective product.

DryPart is the most concentrated of our fertilisers. It is a complete, standalone fertiliser that provides all the nutrients plants need at all stages of growth. It combines two mineral formulas, one for growth, the other for flowering. It can be used for all types of plants, and a variety of hard or soft water types. It is also suitable for all substrates, whether you grow with coconut coir, hydroponics, soilless or soil.

DryPart Grow and DryPart Bloom are highly water-soluble and are used separately. They are composed of the highest quality primary, secondary and micro nutrients, in the right concentrations to give maximum aroma and production, even in the softest water. Both formulas contain regulators that stabilise the pH of your nutrient solution at the previously adjusted level. It is the perfect fertiliser for professional growers, microfarms and open-field production.

The dry powder format makes DryPart highly portable and easily stored, making it a popular choice for outdoor gardeners. It is available in 1 kg bags.

BIO HESI

SOME MAGIC FROM NATURE

There is a growing demand for organic replacements for the products that we love. Fertilisers are no exception. We wanted to create a fertiliser that offers the benefits for organic cultivation and results in better harvests.

We started off, looking for an organic fertiliser that can guarantee the safety of our environment. It had to be purely vegan; meaning no animal products should be used. The perfect formula takes care of your plants in an organic way, with 100% natural products. And so, our newest product line was created: BIO HESI.

BIO HESI is produced from plant extracts and derivatives from food production, complying with the certification requirements for ecologicalbiological and organic crops.

BIO HESI comes in two variations: GROW which contains a higher concentration of nitrogen to promote growth, while BLOOM has higher levels of organic phosphates to promote the flowering of plants.

BIO HESI is suitable for all cultivation methods. This news Hesi products are completely liquid, they do not crystallize, clog pipes or drippers. As usual with Hesi products, they are simple, very easy to use with guaranteed results and for a fair price.

Align with nature and magic will happen.
