Monkey Coco 50L Monkey Soil – Premium Buffered Coco Substrate

Monkey Coco from Monkey Soil is the high-performance 50L coco substrate you need to unlock the true potential of your hydroponic or container crops, offering a perfectly buffered medium that guarantees explosive root development. Unlike generic options, this substrate is designed to provide the ideal structure for your roots, ensuring they breathe while retaining just the right amount of moisture for vigorous growth.

Why risking your harvest with cheap coco is a bad idea

We've all been there: you try to save a few bucks buying compressed coco bricks or low-quality unwashed fiber. The result? You end up with a medium full of salts, with an unstable pH that fluctuates wildly, and a texture that either dries out too fast or turns into mud. Instead of growing, you spend your time fighting against the medium.

The cost of these bad decisions is high. You see your plants turning yellow due to nutrient lockouts (especially Calcium and Magnesium), growth stunts, and you waste liters of expensive fertilizer trying to correct the EC. It’s frustrating to put in so much effort only to get a mediocre harvest because the roots couldn't expand properly.

Monkey Coco is the definitive solution to this problem. It comes ready to use, with a professional Buffer System that stabilizes the pH and is enriched with Calcium Nitrate and NPK. It gives you the peace of mind of a clean, stable start, allowing you to focus on feeding your plants, not fixing the soil.

Key advantages over basic coco bricks

While a compressed brick requires you to hydrate, wash, and buffer it yourself (a messy and imprecise process), Monkey Coco offers a "Plug & Play" experience. The difference lies in the professional preparation of the fiber.

• Total pH Stability: Thanks to its buffer system, you won't have the typical pH swings of raw coco that block nutrient absorption.
• Prevention of Deficiencies: By including Calcium Nitrate, it prevents the classic Ca/Mg deficiency that plagues coco growers in the first weeks.
• Superior Structure: The mix of peat and medium fibers creates an environment where roots can grow thick and white, unlike the fine dust of cheap brands.
• Control: It allows you to manage nutrition with the precision of hydroponics but the simplicity of pots.

Real benefits you’re going to notice

The first thing you will notice is the speed of growth. By having such an oxygenated root system, the metabolic rate of the plant accelerates. This translates into shorter vegetative periods and a faster transition to flowering. You are essentially giving your plants a gym to bulk up their roots.

Additionally, you will enjoy greater peace of mind. Knowing that the substrate is not stealing Calcium from your nutrient solution allows you to follow your fertilization chart without fear. It is the perfect canvas for using a good Root stimulator and seeing results in days, not weeks.

Finally, the versatility is unmatched. Whether you use automatic drip irrigation or hand water, Monkey Coco drains excess water efficiently, making it very difficult to overwater your plants (the number one mistake of the novice grower).

Step-by-step usage guide

1. Preparation: Open the bag and fluff the substrate slightly with your hands to restore its volume before filling the pots.
2. Filling: Fill your pots without compressing the coco excessively; let gravity settle it to maintain aeration.
3. First Watering: Although it contains NPK, it is inert enough. We recommend a light watering with a root stimulator and, if you have soft water, a bit of Canna CalMag Agent to start strong.
4. pH Control: Adjust the pH of your nutrient solution between 5.5 and 6.0 for optimal absorption in coco.
5. Drainage: Always water until you see about 10-20% runoff coming out the bottom of the pot to prevent salt buildup.
6. Maintenance: Unlike Soil For Cannabis, coco dries faster. Check the weight of the pot daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to wash Monkey Coco before using it?

No, absolutely not. Monkey Coco comes washed and buffered from the factory. It is ready to fill your pots and start growing immediately.

Can I mix it with perlite?

Yes, although Monkey Coco already has excellent aeration thanks to its medium granulometry, you can add perlite if you want even faster drainage or if you live in a very humid climate.

How long do the nutrients in the substrate last?

The NPK and Calcium included are a "starter charge" to cover the first few days and reduce transplant stress. You should start your fertilization program almost from the beginning, unlike heavily fertilized soil.

Is it suitable for automatic watering systems?

It is ideal. Its structure prevents clogging and ensures that the water distributes evenly throughout the pot, making it perfect for drip systems.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've tried countless brands of coco over the years, from the compressed bricks I had to hydrate in the bathtub to premium bags. Monkey Coco has become a staple in my tests for one reason: consistency. I love that I don't have to worry about that initial "calcium shock" that happens with other brands.

My favorite way to use it is in 7 or 11-liter pots with an automatic drip system. The texture is fluffy and doesn't compact over time, which keeps the roots white and healthy until the day of harvest. If you want to make the jump from soil to hydro without complicating your life with recirculation systems, this bag is the best entry point.
