What are fertilizers for soil cultivation?
Soil fertilizers are specifically designed for plants grown in organic substrates and soil mixes. Unlike fertilizers for coco coir or hydroponic systems, they are designed to work synergistically with soil microbes, promoting a rich and fertile biological environment.
They can be organic, mineral, or mixed (organic-mineral), and are presented in different formats. Their proper use guarantees vigorous growth and dense flowering, improving the final quality of the harvest.
Why use specific fertilizers for soil?
The soil contains life, and organic substrate fertilizers respect and stimulate this microbial life, facilitating better nutrient assimilation. These products:
- They improve soil structure
- They promote the formation of healthy roots
- They stimulate microbial activity
- They avoid nutritional blockages
- They increase the production of resin, terpenes, and cannabinoids
In addition, they allow for progressive nutrition, especially when combined with microorganisms and enzymes.
Who are these subscriptions intended for?
They are aimed at both novice and experienced growers who work with enriched soil or substrates. They are a good choice for those who prioritize a more natural cultivation and seek to maximize the flavor, aroma, and quality of their flowers.

Frequently asked questions about marijuana fertilizers in soil
Can I use soil fertilizers in coco or hydroponics?
It is not recommended, and in many cases, they do not work correctly.
Can I use hydroponic or coco fertilizers in soil?
Yes, but it requires more experience and control of the EC and PH parameters.
What is the difference between organic and mineral fertilizer?
The difference lies in the origin of their components: mineral fertilizers are produced through the synthesis of elements and are absorbed by plants much more quickly, while organic fertilizers are assimilated more slowly.
When should I start fertilizing my plants in the ground?
It depends on the substrate. If you're using a nutrient-rich soil (like All Mix), you can wait a few weeks. If it's a light mix, start with a low dose when the plant has its first pair of true leaves.
Do I need to measure pH when using soil fertilizers?
In general, it's not essential, especially with organic fertilizers. But if you grow in hard water or water frequently, controlling the pH can help prevent nutrient lockouts.
