Jiffy PRO7 COCO BLOCK 5kg (70L)

The PRO7 COCO BLOCK from Jiffy is an excellent solution for growers who prefer a lightweight, easy-to-handle, and cost-effective way to use coco coir. This product offers a practical and efficient alternative to purchasing multiple coco bricks, especially for those who need to store or transport large quantities of growing medium.

How to Use the PRO7 COCO BLOCK:

1. Prepare the Block:

   • Place the PRO7 COCO BLOCK into a large container, such as a Garland 1m tray or a wheelbarrow.

2. Mix Water and Nutrient:

   • In a separate bucket, mix your water and nutrients (if desired).
   • Add 30L of lukewarm water for a slightly drier mix, which is ideal if you plan to water the plants after potting.
   • Add 35L of water for a wetter mix if you're not going to water the plants right away.

3. Break Up the Block:

   • As the block expands, break it up in the container with your hands or a hand fork to achieve a uniform texture. This process typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.

4. Add Additional Substrates (Optional):

   • If necessary, incorporate additional substrates such as perlite or clay pebbles to improve aeration and drainage.

5. Potting Your Plants:

   • Once the mix is ready, fill your pots with the expanded coco coir, and plant your seedlings or young plants. It's ideal for plants propagated in Jiffy7C plugs or ROOT!T sponge plugs.

6. Feeding:

   • Begin feeding your plants with a professional fertilizer like VitaLink Coco Coir Grow, which helps promote rapid root development and early plant growth.
   • For seedlings and young plants, mix 1-2 ml/L of both A and B solutions into the water.
   • For mature plants, increase the dosage to 3-4 ml/L of both A and B solutions once the plants have established themselves.
   • If you're in an area with very soft water, consider supplementing with CalMag to prevent nutrient deficiencies (recommended: 0.5 ml/L during the growth stage).
