CANNA made it after years of requests from growers for compressed coco that kept the quality of its loose-fill CANNA COCO, and the Cube is that same medium in a smaller package. Its most distinctive feature is the hole through each cube. The extra surface helps the coco absorb water, so the brick expands very quickly and is ready to plant into straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach cube is made from the pith and coir fibre of the coconut husk, from coconuts grown in India, blended to hold a complex mix of water and air around the roots. CANNA wash it thoroughly with clean water, so there is no rinsing to do before use. Coco naturally has a negative cation exchange capacity, so the medium is then buffered to permanently stabilise its chemistry and pH, letting the nutrients you feed go to the plant. Buffering also sets the coco to a certain age, which keeps one batch as consistent as the next. What CANNA leave out matters too. The Cube is not steam sterilised, because steaming strips coco of its natural Pythium protection, converts plant-usable nitrate nitrogen into plant-toxic nitrite nitrogen and changes the structure so it holds more water. Instead it carries RHP certification for professional horticulture, a stricter standard than consumer RHP certification, which guarantees a clean product free from unwanted seeds and pathogenic organisms. CANNA also state the medium is free of harmful viruses and soil-borne diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fracture line across the middle lets each cube snap into two equal halves when only a smaller batch is needed, and the compressed bricks are very easy to transport and store. The washing and buffering process is also what allows CANNA's coco nutrients to combine vegetative and flowering nutrients in one mix used right through the growing cycle, with no change from grow to bloom formulas. In the pot, a thin layer of clay pellets or stone at the bottom gives proper drainage. If containers dry out too slowly, or daily hand watering is not practical, CANNA recommend adjusting the container size. Once a crop is finished the coco can be reused, and at the end of its life it can go into outdoor garden areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1396\" height=\"785\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EE19UZeSgnE\" title=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CANNA","offers":[{"title":"40 L","offer_id":67551783420062,"sku":"8717662949319","price":33.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/5261\/6094\/files\/Canna_Coco_Professional_Plus_Cube_40L.png?v=1793402337","url":"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/canna-coco-professional-plus-cube","provider":"Hydro Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
