Our 5kg Compressed Buffered Coco Peat is a high-quality, eco-friendly growing medium ideal for home cannabis growers. Derived from the fibrous material of coconut husks, coco peat is an excellent alternative to traditional peat, offering superb water retention and aeration while being sustainably produced. Buffered and compressed into a convenient block, this coco peat expands to approximately 70 liters when soaked in water, providing ample medium for your plants.
Buffered coco peat ensures that harmful ions like sodium and potassium are already displaced, preventing nutrient lockout and allowing for immediate planting. With a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5, this coco peat is suitable for most plants, though it pairs exceptionally well with cannabis, providing the perfect balance of water and oxygen to promote vigorous root growth and overall plant health.
