PRO7 COCO is produced by Jiffy, a world-renowned brand, supplying constantly high-quality premium substrates for both beginners and expert gardeners for over 60 years.

Its coco plantations and processing facilities based in Sri Lanka are world leading & ISO 22000 – certified thus guaranteeing salt-free, and low EC level in all products.  Producing constant homogeneity throughout the whole product range, all to the high RHP quality standard, product after product.

 

Premium Coco from a guaranteed reliable and consistent source

PRO7 COCO is one of the most stable coco substrates on the market today.  100% pith manufactured from the mature coconut husk and never compressed to retain its structure. Mature coconuts mean the pith will decay slower, thus giving a more stable media over the growing cycle.

RHP certified. Washed and buffered with calcium and magnesium to RHP standards - extracting unwanted elements such as potassium, sodium and chlorides. Providing a clean substrate with a stable pH value, perfect for growers who want ultimate control over their fast-growing plant's fertigation..

PRO7 COCO has excellent water retention and airing properties, well suited for growing short cycle and fast-growing plants in pots. Develops vigorous root systems and strong growth.
PRO7 COCO produces high yields with all nutrients on the market, however some of the highest yields in our trials have been achieved in combination with VitaLink Coco Coir A&B with the addition of the additives VitaLink CalMag and VitaLink Turbo+.

Benefits of PRO7 COCO:

• Completely buffered substrate with stable pH.
• Guaranteed low EC value.
• Airy structure.
• Optimal root development.
• Peat Free.
• Premium Quality RHP washed and buffered coco.
• Low watering frequency needed.

How to use

Firstly, we recommend having the optimum start by propagating your seedlings/cuttings in Jiffy 7C plugs or ROOT!T, fed with VitaLink PlantStart which supplies the perfect ratio of boron to calcium, proven to promote rapid root development and vigorous early growth. Then, transplant into PRO7 COCO and feed from day one with a high-quality professional plant feed, such as VitaLink Coco Coir Grow for your vegetive phase and VitaLink Coco Coir Bloom in your flowering phase.

Media bags are transported on pallets and can become compacted during storage.  Before transferring your substrate into pots, we suggest you ‘fluff up’ your medium to break up any compressed lumps.  An easy way to do this is to tap the side of the bag, like you would fluff up a pillow. Pour into your pots and run your fingers through the substrate, checking for any lumps that may still be in it and break them up.  

Settle the mix by tapping edges and base of pot and plant up.
Ensure the entire medium is completely soaked before planting on to make sure your plants get enough to feed on.
To pre-soak PRO7 COCO  substrates, apply a 3/4 to full strength feed until run off appears. Run off is the feed that gathers underneath pots in your saucer or tray after watering.

Hand watering: We recommend using VitaLink Coco Coir nutrients and following the feed schedule. PRO7 COCO prevents over-watering due to its structure, but attention needs to be paid to avoid nutrient reabsorption from pots/containers sitting in any runoff.

Dripper systems: PRO7 COCO is best fed little and often.  A dripper system is perfect for this. Please note that the particles in COCO can easily block dripper lines, so if using a re-circulating system, we recommend fitting a filter and check it regularly.

Always check the water quality in your area and ensure you are using the correct variant – either hard water or soft water. In very soft water areas, or at the onset of any calcium deficiency, we recommend a half strength CalMag supplement such as Vitalink CalMag (0.5ml/L) during the growth stage.
