The success of Sunshine 4 set the baseline for the universal indoor cultivation medium. Now the Sunshine Advanced Mix 4 offers even more reliable drainage with our highest percentage of coarse perlite for the wet grower. White peat combined with coconut coir ensures superior water retention coupled with an organic rewetting agent. The organic nutrient pack offers seedlings a powerful start with our no burn formula, modest nitrogen level and lime for consistent conditions all season long.In humid climates, the problem of inadequate evaporation makes drainage the greatest challenge of any outdoor crop, and inhibits drainage indoors. Failure to percolate is solved by the high aeration of Sunshine Advanced Super Hydro, which remedies the moist air dilemma. This is an optimal organic matter blend for the wet grower with washed coir to limit salts, Canadian sphagnum peat moss, compost, an organic wetting agent and coarse perlite to speed water through while holding enough to maintain proper moisture levels. Worm castings introduces a diverse blend of bio-actives for root colonization. This medium contains our most generous nutrient pack with optimal nitrogen and potassium levels plus lime. Super Hydro guarantees a stronger start that leads to a more generous root system capable of supporting maximum foliage development.

Take advantage of every benefit micorrhizae has to offer with this blend that ensures optimal root colonization. Sunshine Advanced Rain Forest Blend is our richest formula packed with humic acid and other natural enhancements that stimulate microbe development and maintain it consistently over time. The addition of compost and worm castings introduces a universe of naturally occurring microbes in addition to our standard endomicorrhizae populations. The secret ingredient here is kelp meal, believed to contain natural hormones that stimulate cell differentiation for rapid development of vegetative and reproductive tissues. Like our other products, Rain Forest Blend assures exceptional drainage and equally desirable water holding capacity with coir. For the grower who formerly blended bark with our Sunshine Mix #4, the addition of generous quantities of aged fine bark offers similar bulk density and higher phosphorous to maintain nitrogen levels as it decomposes. This is our most biologically diverse blend for indoor and outdoor cultivation. When you’re looking for a quality growing medium for rare varieties that yield high income crops, don’t risk your valuable stock on questionable products. Rainforest Blend promises and delivers the best.

For the grower who wants to control every aspect of indoor and outdoor plant nutrition, Sunshine Advanced Ultra Coir offers a delightfully simple blend that may be used alone or mixed with our other quality products. Largely composed of washed cocoanut coir and coarse perlite to maintain bulk density and drainage, this mix offers maximized water retention for the dry grower. The addition of organic nitrogen is higher than any other Sunshine Advanced formula coupled with potassium and lime for optimal PH. Our nutrient pack will bring maximum fertility three to four weeks after planting when seedlings are fully established and beginning their strongest vegetative growth period.
