BAC Lime is a powdered additive specifically designed to upgrade and improve used soil and coco coir. Over time, these substrates can become acidic and depleted of essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. By properly mixing BAC Lime into your medium, you can re-establish a stable pH value and provide sufficient calcium, which are crucial for optimal nutrient availability and overall plant health. This easy-to-use product is the ideal solution for sustainable growing, allowing you to reuse your substrates and ensure your plants have the perfect foundation for vigorous growth and a high-quality harvest.
Key Benefits of using BAC Lime
