Roots Organics Soilless Hydroponic Coco Mix, 2 cu yd

Low-EC Inert Coco Substrate for Container & Hydro, 2cuyd

Coco fiber makes a dependable hydroponic substrate only if the salts are washed out of it first, since unwashed coir can carry an EC high enough to interfere with a dialed-in nutrient program. Roots Organics Soilless Hydroponic Coco Mix is repeatedly washed to bring EC down to a very low level, then composted for over twenty-four months and blended with extra-long coco fibers, perlite, and pumice for heavy feeding in container or hydroponic setups.

This 2cu yd bulk format suits commercial cultivators filling large numbers of containers who want a full-strength coco feeding program without repeated small-bag purchases.

Key Features & Benefits

• Repeatedly washed — brings EC down to a very low level before the mix is blended
• Composted over 24 months — long composting time paired with extra-long coco fibers, perlite, and pumice
• Treated as an inert media — begin feeding within 2 to 3 days after transplanting, similar to rockwool or perlite
• Built for heavy feeding — designed for high performance in container or hydroponic applications

Who Should Use This Coco Mix

Growers who want a low-EC, near-inert coco substrate for container or hydroponic setups, and who plan to run their own full-strength nutrient program from the start, are the fit for this mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the EC so low?

The coco fiber is repeatedly washed to remove salts before it's blended into the final mix. That washing step is what keeps the starting EC low enough for growers to build a nutrient program from scratch.

How long is it composted?

The coco fiber is composted for over twenty-four months before blending. That extended composting time helps stabilize the material's structure and chemistry.

When should I start feeding?

Begin feeding within 2 to 3 days after transplanting, since this mix behaves like an inert media rather than a nutrient-rich soil. Waiting longer than that risks a nutrient gap once the small amount of included bat guano is used up.

What is coco fiber a replacement for?

Coco fiber is commonly used as an environmentally friendly replacement for peat moss. It's pH-stable and slower to decompose than peat, which makes it a more consistent long-term substrate.
