60% coconut hydroponic substrate + 40% expanded clay
60% coconut hydroponic substrate + 40% expanded clay
The 60% coconut + 40% Argilastone hydroponic substrate is an innovative mix designed for growers seeking a high efficiency and performance culture medium. This unique combination uses high quality coconut fiber and our exclusive Argilastone expanded clay in optimized proportions to guarantee a superior root development and excellent water management and nutrients.
Components:
- 60% coconut fiber: It provides excellent moisture retention and aerated structure, essential for the development of roots.
- 40% Argilastone (Expanded clay 6-14 mm): Our high quality expanded clay improves aeration and drainage, offering optimal structural support for roots.
Key differences with 70% coconut substrate + 30% perlite:
- Greater proportion of airing component: The increase in the percentage of Argilastone in this mixture significantly improves the structure of the substrate, offering a higher drainage and preventing excess moisture.
- Particle size: The inclusion of 6-14 mm Argilastone provides greater structural stability and facilitates a more robust growth environment for the roots compared to the perlite.
Estimated product weight: To calculate the weight of the bags of 35 liters and 1000 liters, we consider the approximate densities of both components:
- Coconut fiber: Approximate density of 0.1 to 0.2 g/cm³.
- Argilastone (expanded clay): Approximate density of 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm³, given its highest density compared to the perlite.
Calculation for a 35 -liter sack: 12 kg.
Calculation for a 1000 liter sack: 330 kg.
Benefits:
- Improves aeration and drainage: Ideal to prevent water saturation and promote a healthy environment for roots.
- Robust root development: The substrate structure allows strong and extensive root growth.
- Balanced moisture retention: It maintains the necessary humidity without supersaturation, thanks to the combination of coconut and argilastone.
Applications: Perfect for a wide range of hydroponic crops, especially those that benefit from exceptional drainage and a robust substrate structure.
Instructions for use:
- Ensure an effective drainage system.
- Monitor moisture and adjust irrigation as necessary.
Presentation: Available in 35 -liter bags for small projects and Big Bags of 1000 liters for large -scale commercial applications.
This substrate represents the avant -garde in hydroponic culture solutions, combining the best of nature and technology to offer an exceptional growth means.
