Hydroponic Substrate | 60% Coconut Fiber and 40% Expanded Clay
Hydroponic Substrate | 60% Coconut Fiber and 40% Expanded Clay
The Hydroponic Substrate Coco + Argilestone is an innovative mix designed for growers seeking a high-efficiency and high-performance growing medium. This unique combination uses high-quality coconut fiber and our exclusive Argilestone expanded clay in optimized proportions to ensure superior root development and excellent management of water and nutrients.
Components:
- Coconut Fiber: Provides excellent moisture retention and aerated structure, essential for root development.
- Argilestone (Expanded Clay 6-14 mm): Our high-quality expanded clay improves aeration and drainage, offering optimal structural support for the roots.
Key Differences with Coco + Perlite Substrate:
- Higher Proportion of Aerating Component: The increased percentage of Argilestone in this mix significantly improves the substrate structure, offering superior drainage and preventing excess moisture.
- Particle Size: The inclusion of Argilestone 6-14 mm provides greater structural stability and facilitates a more robust growth environment for the roots compared to perlite.
Estimated Product Weight: To calculate the weight of the 25-liter and 1000-liter bags, we consider the approximate densities of both components:
- Coconut Fiber: Approximate density of 0.1 to 0.2 g/cm³.
- Argilestone (Expanded Clay): Approximate density of 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm³, given its higher density compared to perlite.
Calculation for a 15-liter bag: 5 kg.
Calculation for a 1000-liter bag: 250 kg.
Benefits:
- Improves Aeration and Drainage: Ideal for preventing water saturation and promoting a healthy environment for the roots.
- Robust Root Development: The substrate structure allows for strong and extensive root growth.
- Balanced Moisture Retention: Maintains necessary moisture without oversaturation, thanks to the combination of coconut and Argilestone.
Applications: Perfect for a wide range of hydroponic crops, especially those that benefit from exceptional drainage and a robust substrate structure.
Usage Instructions:
- Ensure an effective drainage system.
- Monitor moisture and adjust irrigation as needed.
Presentation: Available in 25-liter bags for small projects and in big bags of 1000 liters for large-scale commercial applications.
This substrate represents the forefront in hydroponic growing solutions, combining the best of nature and technology to offer an exceptional growing medium.
