Know before you buy
No, this is a clean, inert soilless base. It is designed to be a blank slate, meaning you will need to add your own nutrient program from the start to support plant growth.
Yes, it performs well in both environments. Its fast-draining properties make it particularly effective for container gardening where preventing root rot is a priority.
This coco mix offers significantly faster drainage than traditional peat-based potting soils. This high level of aeration helps prevent overwatering and encourages more aggressive root development.
Absolutely. Its structure is ideal for hydroponic setups, particularly those that rely on frequent irrigation, as it provides the necessary oxygen levels for roots while maintaining consistent moisture.
Aurora Innovations produces a high-quality, consistent product that is generally ready to use out of the bag. However, as with any coco-based medium, it is always good practice to check your initial runoff pH if you are growing sensitive crops.
