Overview
Canna Coco Natural consists of 100% coco flakes, which is produced from pressing coconuts. The production process is subject to Canna’s strict quality controls so they always have total confidence in the product which you are purchasing.
Canna Coco natural is only lightly buffered, this gives you more control over the buffering process which in turn gives you a higher degree of control over the vegetation and bloom phases of your plant.
Due to the light buffering and also light pre-soaking this product is very light in weight compared to other substrates. This means there is less water in the bag. This product weighs 11-12 kilograms and is therefore easy to transport.
Ingredients
100% Natural coconut fibres
The water/air ratio is 73%/23%
What is Coco?
Coco is a byproduct of coconut fiber. It was first used in gardening in the West in the 19th century, but fell out of favor because the low-quality coco available at the time degraded when used for short-term growing. Toward the end of the 20th century, it was rediscovered as an organic, environmentally sustainable substrate when new production methods made it possible to create hardier product.
Coco is manufactured using fiber that’s torn from coconut shells. The tiny grains of coir are extracted from the coconut shell and pulverized into a packable growing substrate. First, the coconuts go through the retting process, a curing method that naturally decomposes the husk’s pulp. Traditionally, coconut husks were immersed in water for six months or longer to decompose. Today, the retting process can be completed in a little over a week using modern mechanical techniques. Next, the coconut fiber is removed from the shells by steel combs, in a process known as defibering. Once the fiber is gathered from the husk, it’s then dried, pressed into bricks, discs, coir pots. or bagged as a loose mulch. In this dried, processed state, the coir is ready to sell and use.
The Benefits Of Using Coco
Quick harvests and big yields: When used for drain-to-waste growing, coco gives excellent results. With the right coco nutrients in your water bath, your plants spend less time searching for food and more time growing.
Plenty of room for the root system:Â Coco offers a rare combination of excellent water retention, reliable drainage and ideal aeration. It gives the roots plenty of room, allowing for optimum air exposure.
pH-neutral value: Coco has a neutral pH range of 5.2–6.8, but you’ll still need nutrient support because this range will fluctuate over time.
Minimizes harmful pathogens and reduces the risk of pests:Â This medium boasts antifungal properties, which keeps the roots happy. It can repel some pests, meaning your grow is easier to maintain.
Environmentally conscious product:Â On average, a coconut tree produces 150 coconuts annually. Coco coir uses parts of the fruit that used to go to waste.
Reusable medium: When properly treated, coco coir can be reused. It’s durable, but you need to make sure you prep it correctly for the next growth cycle to guarantee a hearty crop.
