Stronger, healthier plants in less time

The Eazy Pyramid is an amazing new development for the horticultural sector.  Its optimized growing volume, equivalent to 13,5 ltr (3 gal), is enough for a whole crop cycle. It is also enhancing all of the unsurpassed characteristics of the Eazy Plug. Like predetermined and buffered pH and EC values, or the completely self regulating air-to-water ratio. You could truly say that the Eazy Pyramid is the next evolution in organic growing.

Dense root structure caused by air pruning

Eazy Pyramid is bonded firmly to be used without a plastic wrapping. This way roots will stop growing when meeting air at the outside of the block. As a result the roots will start growing new root branches inside the block, seriously increasing the number of absorbing rootlets in the block and creating a much more dense rooting system. It is called the air pruning effect. This way the absorption capability of the root structure is maximized for the best possible intake of nutrients and fluids.

Limitless shelf life

The Eazy Pyramid is supplied dried, making it clean and lightweight, with limitless shelf life and no risk of molds. A dry Eazy Pyramid takes water back up very easily and quickly, retaining all of its former characteristics. So altogether easy to use.

Fast and healthy plant development

As a result the effective root surface area of your plant will be much bigger, and with it the uptake of water with the beneficial nutrients you are adding. Your plant will grow faster, will be healthier and produce higher yields than in any other available growing medium.

How to use Eazy Pyramid

Step 1: Moisten Eazy Pyramid

Prepare water with a pH of 5.8 and an EC of 1.4. Again on personal preference you can add a root stimulator to the water. Allow the Eazy Pyramid to fully suck up the prepared water. Let it drain out excess water. Do not squeeze out or dry the Pyramids. Eazy Pyramids are self-regulating and will only hold the water they need for an optimum moisture level and an optimum air-to-water ratio.

Step 2: Put block onto pyramid

Put the Eazy Block with young plant simply on top of the Eazy Pyramid. It will fit there nicely and will continue developing its roots inside the pyramid without a transplant shock.

Step 3: Remoistening

For quick root development, only remoisten the Eazy Pyramids after 3 days from start and in optimum climate conditions even only after 5 days. Remoistening can be done by all known techniques, like drip-feeding, eb and flow system, manual, etc.

Step 4: Fertilizing

After 5 days start adding a light fertilizing mix to the water up to an EC of 1.2-1.4 and a pH of 5.8.

Step 5: Determine optimum EC

The air pruning effect generates a much more advanced root structure with a much bigger hair root mass and with it an increased uptake capacity. As a result many growers can suffice with an EC value that is +/- 0.2 lower than in older traditional substrates. On first sight of leaves getting lighter green, you should raise the EC immediately back with 0.2. With the Eazy Pyramid material it will take considerably longer for the leaves to grow lighter than with ordinary pots or Rock-Wool, if it already occurs.

Air pruning effect of the Eazy Pyramid

When the tips of the roots grow outside the Eazy Pyramid, they are exposed to relatively dry air because  there is no plastic sleeve around the block. This causes the apical cells at the tip of the root to dehydrate, or become air pruned. This effect stimulates the growth of secondary roots, branching out the original roots and growing within the Eazy Pyramid. These secondary roots spread throughout the Eazy Pyramid until again they reach the outer sides where they get air pruned again, stimulating more root growth. The overall air pruninig effect is the establishment of a well-developed root system that is spread evenly throughout the Eazy Pyramid.

No wrapping

Due to its stabilization there is no need for a wrapping, resulting in natural air pruning of the roots growing outside the Eazy Pyramid. This air pruning strongly stimulates the production of new root tips inside the Eazy Pyramid. As a result an Eazy Pyramid will be fully grown with smaller hair roots instead of having a few base roots that grow downwards between growing medium and wrapping like with all conventional blocks. This way there is an abundant root growth inside the entire Eazy Pyramid, making better use of water and nutrition.

No plastic pot

Due to the same strong stabilization there is no need for a plastic pot either. Again offering the advantage of natural air pruning, resulting in a dense mass of hair roots inside the Pyramid. When using a plastic pot, the base roots will grow to the outside, meeting the impermeable wall of the pot and starting to continue their growth alongside the wall of the pot. This results in winding roots or a so called root knot with little to no branching and hair roots. The uptake capacity is therefor incomparable and no match for the Eazy Pyramid.

Eazy Pyramid is self regulating

An Eazy Pyramid has a neutral pH level of 5.5-6.0 and this pH level is buffered. Small deviations can be corrected by the Pyramid. The Eazy Pyramid gets a soft base fertilizer with it. The Pyramid has a pre-determined optimal air-to-water ratio. When the Eazy Pyramid is able to drain out excess water, it will hold the optimum amount of water by itself. Dry cultivation is no problem, the remaining moisture will be evenly divided throughout its material and the Eazy Pyramid always takes water back up easily.
