Commercial Cannabis Farming

Commercial cannabis farming using cocopeat in greenhouses encounters several challenges, including water retention imbalances, salt build-up, and pH fluctuations. By incorporating Hydroponic in Agriculture practices with Greglo’s innovative solutions, you can effectively manage these issues, ensuring optimal moisture levels, nutrient balance, and plant health for improved yields.

Hydroponic Cannabis Farming

Coco peat is a popular growing medium for cannabis cultivation and plays a significant role in hydroponic in agriculture. It is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconuts and is widely used in horticulture for its excellent water retention and aeration properties.

Key Benefits of Using Cocopeat Growbags for Cannabis

1. Water Retention

Cocopeat holds water exceptionally well while providing excellent root aeration. This prevents overwatering and allows roots to access vital oxygen, promoting healthy plant growth.

2. Balanced pH Level

Naturally neutral, cocopeat has a pH level suitable for cannabis cultivation. We recommend monitoring and adjusting pH as needed, as coco coir can sometimes become slightly acidic over time.

3. Natural Sterility

Cocopeat is naturally sterile, which reduces the risk of pests and diseases in cannabis plants. Combined with good hygiene practices, it helps maintain a healthy growing environment.

4. Eco-Friendly

Made from renewable coconut husks, cocopeat is a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious growers.

5. Recommended Size:

We recommend our 15x15x18 cm (1-gallon) Opentop growbag for optimal cannabis growth. However, we’re happy to customize growbag sizes and material blends based on your unique requirements to support the best possible results for your crop.

CannabisImportant Tips

Hydration

Cocopeat growbags come in a dehydrated block form. Before planting, rehydrate the block with water, and we recommend buffering to optimize the medium.

Check out our “How to Do Buffering” guide on our website for step-bystep instructions.

Nutrients

Cocopeat provides an excellent base for cannabis growth but lacks certain essential nutrients.

Supplement with a nutrient solution formulated for Cannabis plants. Coco-specific nutrient mixes are available and work best with the unique properties of coco coir.
