The 70% coco coir provides the primary water retention matrix and natural cation exchange capacity (CEC), allowing the medium to hold and release nutrients gradually. This reduces shock from overfeeding or pH swings. The 20% perlite creates oxygen pathways throughout the medium, improving hydraulic conductivity and preventing the compaction or bricking seen in pure coco over extended grow cycles. The 10% expanded clay enhances drainage at the base of the root zone, preventing bottom-zone saturation and maintaining airflow to lower roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a balanced air-water-nutrient matrix that supports faster root growth, higher yields, and reduced grower error.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSystem Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70% coco coir for water retention and nutrient buffering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20% perlite for oxygen pathways and compaction prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10% expanded clay for drainage and bottom-zone aeration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-compacting blend.
