Jiffy 7C pellets (42mm diameter)
Please note that you are bidding per 42mm diameter pellet
Jiffy 7C pellets are used extensively by growers all over the world to propagate a wide variety of seeds and cuttings. The pellets are made of coco—peat.
Media and container in one
The Jiffy-7C pellet is built on the principle of container and media in one and comes in the form of a compressed dry disk in a partly degradable netting.
Pellet Composition and Features:
• Made of RHP certified washed and buffered coco peat in a biodegradable netting;
• Pellet manufacture is audited multiple times annually by RHP to ensure consistent ph and EC;
• Fertiliser is added to assist seedlings and cuttings in the early stages of growth;
• Applications vary from remote forestry in difficult African terrain to sophisticated hydroponic systems.
How to use Jiffy 7C pellets.
• Remove pellets from cartons and hydrate by placing in water—filled containers or by spraying with overhead spray. Pellets can also be hydrated while in trays using ebb and flow method or overhead spraying;
• Plant seeds or cuttings directly into hydrated pellets at the depth required for the particular crop type;
• Water as per requirement for the crop and environment, remembering that coco peat usually requires less water applied more frequently;
• No fertilisation is required in the first week or so of growth but thereafter suitable fertilisation is required;
• Grow the seedling/cutting to planting size and then plant the whole pellet into the soil or growing system;
• Plants will easily root through the Jiffy 7C netting and develop into soil or growing medium.
Advantages of using Jiffy 7C pellets
• Ease of transport and deployment;
• Minimum infrastructure required to establish nurseries;
• Ease of seeding and planting of picked seedlings due to soft, airy growing medium;
• Improved germination rates due to high quality growing medium and faster growth rates;
• Significant increase in root mass improving survival and growth rates once planted out;
• Minimal transplant shock, no cutting of plastic and damage to roots, simply plant the whole pellet;
• Netting prevents growing media from fouling hydroponic systems:
• Environmentally friendly, no plastic, no soil, biodegradable
