Formed from freshwater volcanic deposits, Hydrolite is composed of 70% silica and has a unique crystalline structure that provides unmatched drainage and uniform aeration. Hydrolite?s high CEC rating allows it to retain positively charged ions (cations) such as Nitrogen, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Calcium and more. Blending Hydrolite with Botanicare?s high pith coconut coir, creates an ideal air to water ratio throughout the root zone making Cocorox a superior soilless grow medium for hydroponic cultivation. Cocorox is buffered with Pure Blend Pro® which helps to reduce transplant shock and stimulate new root growth. It is also treated with the all natural wetting agent, Yucca Extract, to ensure even hydration and nutrient saturation. Adding Hydrolite to coco coir increases the coir?s natural CEC rating and maximizes nutrient uptake leading Cocorox to support vigorous growth rates, robust root systems, and increased yields. Coco Coir based grow mediums have quickly become the preferred alternative to traditional peat-based soils among professional growers: Coco coir preserves nutrients in the root zone and reduces wasteful leaching. Coco coir does not compress or degrade throughout the growth cycle, maximizing root development, structure, and size. Coco coir?s capillary and wicking properties provide consistent moisture and nutrient availability. Coco coir is reusable, renewable, and compostable.
