The Leamington Staples

Greenhouse Tomatoes & Peppers

Best for: Beefsteak, TOV (Tomatoes on Vine), and Bell Peppers. Our Open Top Grow Bags are designed with a coarse chip-to-pith ratio to ensure maximum air porosity (AFP). This prevents root rot during the heavy watering cycles required for long-crop Ontario tomato production. Key Feature: High drainage capacity for precise EC (Electrical Conductivity) steering.

The Fraser Valley Favourites

(Strawberries)

Substrates for Berries

Best for: Table-top strawberry systems. As Canada shifts away from peat moss, our pre-buffered coco coir offers a sustainable, pathogen-free alternative. It provides the perfect pH stability required for sensitive berry root zones, ensuring sweeter fruit and higher brix levels.

The Licensed Producer Standard

Medical & Recreational Cannabis

Best for: Indoor licensed producers (LPs). Consistency is the law in the Canadian cannabis market. Our Precision Blocks and Loose Coir are triple-washed to ensure low EC (<0.5 mS/cm). We guarantee a clean, inert medium that allows your master grower to control the nutrient profile with absolute precision from veg to flower.

The High-Wire Essentials

Long English & Mini Cucumbers

Best for: High-wire cucumber cultivation. Cucumbers are thirsty crops that demand constant moisture without saturation. Our specific "Cucumber Blend" offers higher water retention while maintaining structure, ensuring your plants never hit a drought stress point, even during peak summer production.
