INTRODUCING SOUL COCO

Why use coco coir? Here’s the low-down from one of the guys who introduced coco coir systems to the grow world.

What is coco coir?

Made from the fiber of coconut husks, coir is a grow media that provides the ideal air-to-water ratio to support lush root growth. It can be used as a bulk media ingredient or in hydroponic and soilless applications.

What is the coco coir advantage?

In coco coir systems, you get significant enhanced fine root hair development and/or significantly enhanced biology that you won’t find in other inert systems. With that comes not only enhanced root zone production, but enhanced microflora for improved nutrient and water uptake and to protect your plants against stress. So you get safer, happier, fatter roots that then make much happier plants.

What is Soul Coco

Soul Coco is a mineral water buffered premium coconut coir media product we exclusively import from southern India. True buffering is the chemical process of removing the residual sodium and potassium by washing away all the excess residues with a higher pH solution, leaving you with buffered coco coir.

What makes Soul Coco different from other coco coir products?

Soul Coco is washed with a mineral solution that accelerates the removal of some of the potassium and chloride salt that naturally build up in coco. By using an effective and powerful mineral water to help displace that salt, we get an incredibly constant pH adjusted plant media. The mineral buffering helps balance the organic matter and mineral ratios, making the media more stable for increased rate of plant take-off, as well reducing the EC (electrical conductivity) of the material by displacing potentially harmful potassium and sodium salts.

In simplified terms: We’re removing the sodium, which is bad for plants, and replacing it with a consistently buffered coir, which is good for plants.
