The shared foundation

Start with the mix.
Make it your own.

AUTO SOIL brings a coco-based structure and light organic enrichment together in one versatile substrate.

Lightly enriched with HERBI’s Living Soil Starter and other amendments, it provides the starting point for soil and hydroponic systems. Use it as the base for a living soil blend, or take a hybrid approach with organic nutrition through vegetative growth and hydroponic nutrition in flower.

What is AUTO SOIL?

A 40 L coco-based light mix, lightly enriched with HERBI’s Living Soil Starter and other amendments. It is a versatile base substrate for soil and hydroponic systems.

Is it a complete living soil straight from the bag?

AUTO SOIL is a lightly enriched base mix. For the living soil approach, add more organic matter such as compost, then follow a living soil programme for your crop.

Do I need extra amendments during vegetative growth?

For the hybrid approach described here, no other amendments are necessary during vegetative growth. Hydroponic flower nutrition is introduced during the flowering period.

Can I use it with auto-watering and wicking systems?

Yes. The packaging describes AUTO SOIL as ideal for auto-watering and wicking systems, as well as a base for soil and hydroponic systems.

How does it work with AUTO NUTES?

The two products were developed to work together. Use AUTO SOIL through vegetative growth and AUTO NUTES COCO ABC during flower for the hybrid approach.
