OB Substrate's 60/40 Coco Clay 50L

The OB Substrates ​60/40 media contains a 40% blend of OB's pure coco coir & 60% clay pebbles which provides many advantages for the modern gardener using automated system like flood & drain. By combining the clay pebbles at a 60% ratio massively increases drainage and aeration within the rootzone, this makes it possible for more aggressive feeding programs to be implemented without the fear of overwatering as free draining is maximised, the fear of overwatering will be a thing of the past. Plants will have a constant supply of fresh, cool air with as much nutrients as the coco coir can hold while the excess drains through. The increased air within the medium provides greater root transpiration, respiration & feeding which accelerates both vegetive & flowering stages.

Within its natural state, coco coir can have a negatively charged complex surrounded by Sodium and Potassium. Unbuffered coco coir has too much Sodium which displaces Calcium from any applied nutrients and disrupts the nutrient balance by reducing Calcium availability, OB Substrates Coco Pure Organic Plant Medium solves that problem as it is pre-buffered with Calcium which flushes the Sodium from the coco coir while being washed and pH stabilized at source.

OB Substrates Coco has been awarded the coveted Dutch RHP certification, an international indication of high quality. Substrates that carry the RHP quality mark in horticulture satisfy the highest chemical and physical requirements, this all to guarantee a safe and reliable application for the grower. The RHP certification ensures that the coir maintains the highest level of consistency and quality, is pest and disease free, thoroughly rinsed, pH stabilized, pre-buffered with calcium, and has a very low salt content.

AN INCREASED AIR FLOW TO THE ROOT ZONE:

Coco Clay 60/40 mix will supercharge your plant's root zone by huge amounts of oxygen, when oxygen is more accessible your plants have an increased chance to withstand extreme conditions.

EXCEPTIONAL DRAINAGE WHILE RETAINING ESSENTIAL MOISTURE:

Coco coir is well known for its superior water-holding capabilities, while clay pebbles drainage properties are amongst the best. The combination of coco and clay pebbles permits excess water and unused nutrient solution to drain away more freely while still maintaining the essential amount of moisture needed for ideal growing conditions which permits more aggressive feeding.
