Key Benefits of using Skyhigh Coco Prime 70/30 Mix
- Exceptional Root Development: The balanced air-filled porosity (30%) and total water holding capacity (>65%) promote robust root systems, essential for nutrient uptake and overall plant health.
- Rapid Dry-Backs: The 70/30 coco/perlite ratio allows for efficient drying between waterings, preventing root rot and encouraging oxygenation for healthier roots.
- Vigorous Plant Growth: Our unique Plant Activating Technology, rich in Chitin, triggers your plant's natural defence mechanisms, providing a metabolic boost for accelerated growth and increased vitality.
- Enhanced Nutrient Cycling: Beneficial Biology within the mix conditions the media, improving nutrient availability and uptake, while a slow-release organic NPK provides sustained feeding.
- Improved Pest Defences: The activated auto-immune system of your plants, coupled with enhanced nutrient cycling, contributes to stronger, more resilient plants better equipped to resist pests.
- Optimal pH and EC: With a stable pH of 6.0 +/- 0.5 and an EC of 0.3 mS/cm, Skyhigh Coco Prime offers an ideal growing environment for a wide range of plants.
How to Use Skyhigh Coco Prime 70/30 Mix
- Loose fill your chosen container pot, gently breaking up any compressed lumps to ensure even distribution.
- Tap the pot lightly to settle any air pockets within the substrate.
- Continue to press the coco lightly until the pot is full.
- Form a planting hole in the centre, carefully insert your plant and cover the roots with more loose-fill coco up to the brim of the pot.
- Water thoroughly with a half-strength base feed solution, then refer to your chosen nutrient feeding chart for ongoing management.
Available in 50 litres.
Nutrient Management for Optimal Results
Skyhigh Coco Prime requires a high-quality nutrient regimen to sustain healthy development. Always adhere to your chosen nutrient program to ensure balanced feeding for your plants.
- Use a calcium and magnesium supplement to prevent common deficiencies in coco-based substrates.
- Incorporate Skyhigh Mag Grow and Skyhigh Cal Mag Bloom to support vigorous vegetative growth and abundant flowering.
- Regularly measure runoff EC (electrical conductivity) and adjust your nutrient concentration accordingly to prevent nutrient lockout or deficiencies.
- Maintain proper pH levels (between 5.5 and 6.5) to optimise nutrient availability and absorption by your plants. Need a pH or EC meter? Explore the pH Management page for high quality equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buffer Skyhigh Coco Prime before use?
No, Skyhigh Coco Prime comes pre-washed, buffered, and primed, meaning it's ready to use straight out of the bag. This saves you time and ensures optimal cation exchange capacity for immediate nutrient availability.What nutrients should I use with Skyhigh Coco Prime?
While Skyhigh Coco Prime includes a slow-release organic NPK, it's designed to be used with a high-quality, coco-specific nutrient line. Look for nutrients formulated for coco coir that provide balanced macro and micronutrients, with particular attention to calcium and magnesium.How often should I water my plants in Skyhigh Coco Prime?
The frequency of watering depends on various factors such as plant size, growth stage, environmental conditions, and pot size. Generally, allow for a noticeable "dry-back" between waterings, meaning the top few inches of the substrate should feel dry before re-watering. The 70/30 mix facilitates this, preventing overwatering while ensuring adequate moisture.SKU: 1824 Free delivery on orders over £60*
