All Fertile Fibre coir is quality controlled, from sustainable organic sources at least 50 miles from the ocean.
To ensure freedom from salt—which ruins some of the coir on the market—our product is carefully tested. Test include electric conductivity, pH, density and consistency, sodium, potassium. Only when we are happy will we release it for sale.
Coir is the ideal medium for hydroponics.













Coir Bales

Our specially selected compressed 5Kg Fertile Fibre coir bales expand to make approximately 65 litres.
Use as a base for your own compost; add composted bark for drainage, plus some 5Fs fertiliser, and create your own high quality compost.


To reconstitute your blocks: –
You will need a large bucket/bowl or preferably a watertight wheelbarrow. Once you have added water (warm water acts faster) , leave to stand for 24 hours (this will even out the water content of your finished material).

Coco Professional Plus



Coco Professional Plus

CANNA Coco Professional Plus is the professional plant medium that offers the gardener and his plants many advantages. CANNA Coco Professional Plus consists of 100% coco flakes, produced in India while processing coconuts. It is specially prepared for fast growing plants.

CANNA Coco Professional Plus has a complex water/ air system that provides the ideal conditions for this professional approach to cultivation. In addition, it contains a special mould (Trichoderma) that protects the plants against soil diseases. CANNA Coco Professional Plus can be used a number of times and makes an excellent potting mix improver after use.
Growers "BEST BUY"

This is the well known CANNA COCO that we have seen for years! And cleared the way for growing on Coco indoors.
As we are used from CANNA it’s prime product carries the strictest R.H.P. quality mark and actually goes well beyond its regulations! (Read more about this in the CANNA Coco InfoPaper ). In short it makes sure that the product is free of weeds. The inspection is not limited to the finished product but covers the sourcing and processing of raw materials all the way to the bag.
CANNA’s buffering process allows us to ‘pre-program’ the medium to a certain age. This ensures you get the same consistent, high quality material time after time. Ready for optimal use straight away.
Specially selected prime Indian Coconuts form the base for CANNA Coco Professional Plus. Not touching the outdoor ground in the complete production process ensures the end product is free of weeds or soil diseases. Soaked in fresh water means no salts are present and make it the best growing medium of the future.
CANNA Coco Professional Plus is pre-soaked. Which means the product is ready for use straight away and doesn’t need to be very well soaked in your grow room before you place your seedlings or cuttings.


Heres some info on it mate the stuff kick arse!!!

i get my pro + for £12 from the shop. it is just the same as the blocks but ready to go, it has benificial bacteria in it or some shit like that, i did a grow with and without it and i noticed that the normal coco got mouldy at the bottom of the pots where water was sitting, the pro+ didn't, both plants looked the same and yielded the same though so...........



edit: lol you posted that seconds before i got in there

Hey PUKKA I am looking at replacing the hydroton in ebb&flood for the canna coco, can I ask your opinion on the medium....

1. Did you have to rinse it straight from the bag?
2. If I used large 26cm sq. net pots would the medium drain away?.....the holes are no larger than smaller net pots.
3. How reusable is it?
4. Do you get a salt build up towards the top of the pot?

I'd appreciate any help you can give me in answering these questions.

i reckon if you still use a small layer of hydroton at the bottom of your net pots you will be fine, just coco is likely to get washed through and end up in the res, i find it to be quite fine

Aqua

Aqua

The CANNA Aqua range of products has been specifically developed for the use in combination with closed hydroponic systems, like NFT or Bubbler systems. With these systems the drainage water isn’t removed but is reused.
In this sort of system the plants are in direct contact with the nutrient solution. Because the plants do not absorb all the nutritional elements with equal speed or in equal amounts, the composition of the nutrient solution changes over time.
CANNA Aqua has been developed in such a way as to ensure that the plants can always absorb the correct combination of nutritional elements that are necessary for optimum growth and bloom. The formula is made up so the plants regulate the pH themselves so that the pH in the nutrient tank always remains within the optimum pH range. This means that having once set the correct starting pH no further correction is necessary.
In this way CANNA makes one of the most complex cultivation systems considerably easier for the grower. It’s not for nothing that the majority of growers in the UK, a country where this cultivation method is extremely popular, use CANNA Aqua.

See I don't know if the layer at the bottom would necessarily do anything as the holes further up the pot would release coco too...thats if it's too fine. I may need to add a screen of some sorts but that's just backward in terms of progress...

Yeah I checked it all out but they don't have any specific info on ebb&flood + coco. I feel all my initial concerns are answered except the drainage/net pot application issue.

Are you hand watering individuals? ....what's your growing method?
