Glandore hydro stocks a curated range of high quality coco nutrients. Coco nutrient are specifically developed for growing plants in coco substrates. Coco substrate has become the Australian grower’s choice since, perhaps, as early as 2000 – 2002. This speaks volumes about this medium….simply, it is the best!
Because coco substrate contains high levels of potassium, some phosphorous and some sulfates a nutrient for the substrate needs to be formulated with this in mind. That is, coco is not truly an inert medium (unlike rockwool, perlite, expanded clay etc) and therefore coco substrate nutrients differ somewhat from standard nutrients. That is, a quality coco nutrient should have lower levels of potassium, phosphorous and sulfates. Other than this, because of the cation exchange properties of the substrate a good coco formula should contain higher levels of calcium, nitrate and magnesium.
We recommend BAC, CANNA or House and Garden coco nutrients for providing an ideal nutritional program. Each company has performed extensive research in the area of the coco substrate (crop specific growing) and have developed extremely good products as a result.
