Coco 50 L atami b'cuzz

Atami is a leading company in nutrition and substrates for technical horticulture, based in the Netherlands. Its B'cuzz line was created to offer stable, clean, and high-performance growing media. Coco 50 l Atami B'cuzz is made from selected, washed, and buffered coconut husks, providing an inert and safe base for explosive root development and easy irrigation and fertilization management.

Main characteristics

• 100% coconut substrate selected, washed and buffered with calcium and magnesium.
• Stable structure with high porosity: great root oxygenation and rapid drainage.
• Low starting EC and controlled pH for precise nutrition from day one.
• RHP quality certification for horticulture, guaranteeing cleanliness and uniformity.
• Ideal for drip irrigation, automatic systems and drain-to-waste cultivation.
• Inert and free of significant nutrients: complete control over plant nutrition.
• Versatile: suitable for growth and flowering, for seedlings and cuttings with gentle irrigation management.
• Convenient 50-liter format with optimized weight for transport and handling.

Indoor and outdoor cultivation

Indoors, Coco 50 l Atami B'cuzz facilitates frequent and precise watering. Moisten the substrate before repotting with water adjusted to pH 5.7–6.0 and a light dose of specific coco fertilizer. Maintain watering with light runoff (10–20%) to prevent salt buildup and promote soil renewal. Avoid compacting the substrate; its aerated structure is key to healthy roots and vigorous growth.

Outdoors, ensure good drainage in pots or raised beds and protect the bags from rain before use. You can mix in perlite (10–30%) if you want even more aeration in humid climates or with intensive watering. Coco works perfectly with specific nutrient solutions throughout the growing cycle and adapts very well to automated irrigation.

General recommendations for use

• Use specific fertilizers for coconut from the beginning and adjust the irrigation pH to 5.5–6.2.
• Suitable for soft or osmosis water with Ca/Mg contribution.
• Increase watering frequency as the root mass fills the pot.
• During pre-flowering and flowering, control the EC of the irrigation according to the phase and the genetics grown, maintaining regular drainage.
• To reuse the coconut, wash and re-buffer with Ca/Mg before a new cycle.

Properties of Coco 50 l Atami B'cuzz

This substrate offers an optimal water/air balance, facilitating nutrient absorption and minimizing waterlogging problems. Its low initial salinity and stable pH allow for controlled nutrition and prevent blockages.

Effects

The "effects" translate into greater vegetative vigor, white and active roots, efficient transpiration, and more uniform flowering. The rapid response to fertilization makes it easier to correct deviations and optimize yield.

Frequent questions

Does it come ready to use?

Yes. It arrives washed and buffered. However, it is recommended to moisten it with a pH 5.7–6.0 solution before transplanting.

Do I need to fertilize from the first watering?

Yes. Since it's inert, apply a light dose of coconut-specific fertilizer from the start and adjust based on the plants' response.

Is it compatible with automatic irrigation?

Absolutely. Its structure prevents compaction and channeling, making it perfect for drip irrigation and timed irrigation systems.

Should I add calcium and magnesium?

With soft or osmosis water, it provides Ca/Mg to maintain substrate stability. With hard water, it adjusts based on plant analysis or behavior.

Can it be mixed with other substrates?

Yes. Mixtures with perlite increase aeration; combinations with peat can alter water retention and require irrigation adjustments.

Is it suitable for seeds and cuttings?

Yes. Use low EC solutions and moderate watering until the root system develops.

What is the recommended irrigation pH?

In coconut, ranges between 5.5 and 6.2 usually work well, adjusting according to the phase and fertilizers used.

Can it be reused?

Yes. After harvesting, remove the roots, wash thoroughly, disinfect properly, and re-buffer with Ca/Mg before reuse.

How to store unopened substrate?

Store in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to preserve its properties.
