While celebrated for its excellent water retention and aeration, coco coir is naturally low in essential nutrients, providing a 'blank canvas' for growers. This unique composition means understanding what are coco specific nutrients is crucial for a successful grow, as feeding requirements differ significantly from traditional soil-based methods.
