What is Canna Coco? How to use it for maximum output?

Canna Coco is basically a line of substrate and nutrients which are developed for plants that grow in coco. It yields healthy and high yielding plants. It is completely organic and provides the plants a perfect airy and light rooting environment which is ideal for healthy and strong. These plants are free from dangerous viruses, soil problems, and weeds

Canna Coco was the first cultivation product line for coco.  These days it is the most widely practiced nutrient line used by professionals as well as hobbyists.


Make the perfect use of Canna Coco

Plant nutrients are highly costly and the complexity that involves in the hydroponic system is why most of the plant growers are turning to Canna Coco to meet their personal requirements. The potting system involved in the hydroponic system is too messy as you need to regulate the water, canna can be a perfect replacement.

High yields

The roots of a plant need air as much as the water. According to a research, more air leads to better and more intensive rooting. Ultimately the use of fertilizers is relatively reduced to around 6-10%. If the rooting system is quick and intensive, it means the roots are absorbing water and the nutrients.

Water saturation leads to lower growth

Canna Coco is made up of capillary micro-sponges that retain 100% of their own weight in the water. Coco is being used to retain the buffer of the nutrients and water. For better output is always recommended to keep the medium on the dry side rather making it very wet. This is because wet conditions are ideal for the growth of fungi which results in crop diseases and damage.

A drier substrate will allow the roots to actively absorb more nutrients and water. As a result, the growth and yields are increased.

Other than that you shall also take care of the timing. Once the coco is too wet, then you should stop watering and let the coco dry and then normally start again. You can check the water content in the coco by using your hands or by lifting it up.

If you want to make the best use of the available nutrients and water, you should decrease the dripping frequency. At the same time it will also improve the drainage.

Water supply and evaporation is what will determine the frequency of watering.   Daily watering once a day is more than enough for a week, after that you shall increase it to two times a day, 2 hour after switching on the lamps and two hours before switching off the lamps.

If the plants have smaller roots then make sure to not let the coco dry as the smaller roots of plants tend to dry out the coco. Keep watering it from time to time.
Measuring the Coco

1:1.5 extraction method is the most reliable method to check the level of nutrients in the coco. You can also determine the EC and pH of the roots by this method.
