'Boost Root Growth'

VitaLink Professional Coir Mix is a unique blend of 70% fine coir and 30% coir chips, scientifically proven to boost root growth and give you excellent plant results. The addition of coir chips reduces the amount of water which speeds up plant establishment and hardening off. Also, known as ?Coco Mix?, this new exciting media offers you a host of benefits when used straight out of the bag for hydroponics, potting or mixing with soil:

  • Faster, healthier root growth.

  • Increased resistance to transplant shock & disease.

  • Better drainage and irrigation control.

  • Really easy to use.

  • Naturally biodegradable.

VitaLink Coir was developed with a leading UK university to contain everything your plants need for a successful, healthy life cycle when growing in coir. Unlike many other coir nutrients on the market, VitaLink Coir is based on a unique ratio of phosphite/phosphate and comes in a separate growth and bloom formulation, meaning no mixing of nutrients is required. VitaLink Coir is really simple to use.

 

  • Developed specifically for the unique properties of coco coir media and contains a key level of all elements.

 

Scientific tests prove that VitaLink Coir nutrients contain a key level of all the elements your plants need for best possible growth and yield when growing in coco coir media. It is essential to use a specific coco coir nutrient when using coco coir growing media. This is because coco coir growing media releases potassium during your plant’s growing cycle. VitaLink Coir nutrient takes this into account to give you the best possible plant growth and yield.

 

  • A unique ‘growth’ and ‘bloom’ formulation that means no mixing of nutrients.

 

Unlike other nutrients on the market, VitaLink Coir is a separate ‘growth’ and ‘bloom’ formulation that means that no mixing of nutrients is required. This is because scientific tests prove that for the best possible results plants require more nitrogen during the growth cycle and more phosphorus in flowering. VitaLink Coir growth and bloom contains the optimum level of nitrogen and phosphorus for superior growth and flowering. This nutrient comes in one bottle and so it is easy-to-use.

 

  • An exclusive phosphite/phosphate formulation for fast growth and large yield.

 

One of the ingredients in VitaLink Coir is phosphite, which is a superior form of phosphorus, essential for successful plant development. Phosphite is absorbed much more easily than phosphate because it is made up of three oxygen atoms, whereas phosphate is made up of

four. VitaLink Coir contains both of these in a ratio that is scientifically proven to boost growth and yield.

 

  • Reduces pH fluctuations by containing a binding compound.

 

The compound used to combine the different elements in VitaLink Coir improves the pH stability of the nutrient solution once in your tank. This means less pH adjusting for you, which gives you simpler growing with less maintenance and great plant results, which is why VitaLink Coir is so popular with new growers.

 

  • Maximises plant results by having hard/soft water and ‘growth/bloom’ formulations available.

 

VitaLink Coir is a one-part ‘growth’ and ‘bloom’ nutrient to ensure you get the best possible plant results at each growth stage. Developed with the UK grower in mind, both ‘growth’ and ‘bloom’ are available in hard and soft water varieties to complement the water you are growing with. This can only further maximise the results you get from your growing because your plants receive an optimum level of all elements.

Stanley Baker asked | 13th July 2012

Question: what is coir dust and doesn't it wash away when the drain cycle happens, my standard garden centre has coir but would that be too fine to use, would a mat as you recommend stop this. What a brilliant site you have, as I am just starting to investigate hydroponics to take the place of strenuous garden activity which I can't manage so easily now, (I'm am 80 this year) I am determined to aviod supermarket junk at all costs and grow my own as I do now, but with your help I see this possibility materialising through hydroponics. Yours Stan Baker.
Answer: Hi Stan, thanks for your warm comments. Coir retains up to 9 times it's weight when soaked with water so when you pre-soak this excellent growing media, the water tension holds the coir together providing an excellent physical structure for root development and respiration. I would thoroughtly recommend this media but you will need to use a nutrient specifically formulated for coir because it releases a lot of Potassium and we need to use a nutrient that is adjusted for this. I would recommend VitaLink Coir nutrients. Hydroponics certainly takes away a lot of the physical work of traditional gardening. If you ever have the time, we have a large display greenhouse where we can show you all these systems in action.
