Jiffy Pro7 Coco Block 70L(5kg)

Jiffy Pro7 Coco Block 70L(5kg)

The Pro7 Coco Block produced by Jiffy is the perfect choice for growers and gardeners that use a lot of coco and need it to be easy to transport and store, it is more cost effective than buying multiple coco bricks.
Each block weighs approximately 5kg and yields approximately 70 litres of coco.

Use and preparation

Place your Pro7 Coco Block into a large wide container such as a Garland tray, wheelbarrow or builders bucket, premix your water with nutrient(if required) in a bucket then add to your block.
We recommend 30L of lukewarm water for a mix that is not quiet fully wetted up, ideal for if you then wish to water in your freshly potted on plants, and 35 litres if you are not going to water in your plants.
Break it up within the bucket as it swells and fluff it up to produce a uniform product with your hands or a hand fork. This can take 15 to 20 mins. Now is the point at which it is best to add any further substrates you require such as perlite or clay pebbles.
Add your expanded potting mix to a suitable pot and then add your plant.

Tips

Coco grown plants often require additional calcium and magnesium to promote vigorous growth, most calmag solutions can be added to your water solution at a rate of 0.5 to 1ml per litre of water.
Root stimulants and base nutrients can also be added at this stage, normally at around half strength.
