How To Use Coco Coir In Hydroponics
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “HowToHydroponics”.
I had a brick of coco coir sitting in my garage that I didn't even realize was there. I think I'll take advantage of it and use it for my hydroponic system this year.
Coconut Coir's has a fairly neutral pH of 5.8–6.8 which makes it ideal for gardens and hydroponic system alike. The fiber allows for a great air to water ratio that the plants will enjoy and that some claim is an even better medium to grow in than rockwool.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about coco coir… gonna have to try it myself one day, Cheers!!
This is my 1st year trying it too, starting my bell peppers in it. So far so good.
Just got some royal gold coco fiber for this year. Brock gave it some high reviews, so I picked some up. Looks like you’re off to a good start !
Did a couple Dutch Buckets in Coir last year, was very pleased with the results. Got a 2 pound tomato using it. (Not that it was the Coir that put it over 2 lbs…)
I have used coir in my soil garden a few times and found it was a good neutral media however being the soil gardener I am I found leaf compost or mold did the job with nutrients. They do however take awhile to become ready for planting.
***** It’s great to use whats readily available, and getting positive results is a big plus.
Absolutely !
I’m so happy to see you’ve got two more videos up this year! But I’m afraid to get my hopes up for another full season.
Hi.
I am interested in going into hydroponics ( vegetables and fruits) do you have any recommendations in terms of fertilizers I should be using and maybe where I can get it or even tips on making my own nutrients
I live in the Caribbean so I would have to purchase online as hydroponics is to my knowledge non existant here. I am a struggling entrepreneur and hoping this could assist me to have an edge and also I love gardening but have limited soil space

Hey IslandGirl. I’m just starting hydroponic gardening myself. I live in South Texas near Gulf waters and the winters are pretty mild. I thought I would start simple with lettuce and Pak Choi and work my way up to fruits like watermelon, cantaloupes, and tomatoes. I suggest watching a lot of youtube video’s to get the concepts, thats what Iam doing. Hey, maybe when you get started we can swap seeds with each other! Good luck
make more videos sir. i need all the info. and appear on screen so I can read your lips.
Awesome bucket cam shot!
I haven’t use much of it but some plants here when you buy them they come with it. Great video. Wish that I could see the plants now. Loved and subbed
please make new videos
should i be using calimag with canna coco coir (buffered) and canna coco a and b nutes? using tap water which is high alkaline. i dont have an ec meter yet. can anyone help? please!
dave oneil yes u do need to use calmag as coco coir holds onto the calmag.
does coco peat or coco coir can be used in hydroponics if it is then please make a video from germinating a seed to transfer into pot through hydroponic
Started grow 3 weeks ago indoor/out in my own soil mix but got my Coco coir today and transplanting. I don’t mind the dirt but I’m going to try coir with amendments and my new hydro nutrients..so excited
Just subbed to your you tube channel. .good…✌
Just subbed up love the info. I’m doing my first grow in coco
Don’t buy brick coco, get it in bags, you never get the fluff back.
I just started growing in this cocoa called Basement Mix and is a soiless mix. should I be watering everyday with 20% run off and if so how many times would I feed a month?
All of the best for 2018 Matthew!Hope all is well! Its been three years since you last uploaded a video, we are curious to see what hydroponic experiments you have been up to!
Hi, May I know what should be the exact specification of the coco coir of any brand, which would be useful for hydroponics? Thanks
