Coir Growing Media for Cannabis

Yes, since the coir product inside is the same, hydration and drainage performance are maintained. The main difference is that the plant-based packaging will dry a little more easily because of the additional space available for the root to grow.

~30% for a strong generative approach
~15–20% for a standard approach

Note: The plant-based packaging may cause your plant/media system to dry back slightly faster due to increased drainage and aeration, so monitor closely.

Extensive testing has shown no visual or measurable degradation in:

- Growth rooms over 12+ weeks (including commercial trials)
- Greenhouse environments over 6+ months

You can grow with confidence; the bag holds up throughout the entire cycle.

The PRO-MIX® CX plant-based packaging features very small apertures that facilitate the exchange of both water and air, in contrast to the plastic bags. We have measured increased exchange of water and air and effective root colonization within the plant-based bags, providing additional space for root development, creating a preferential environment for air and water to exchange.

Yes! Both bags contain the same coco material, so the hydration process is the same. However, growers should keep in mind that when using PRO-MIX® CX in plant-based packaging, the bag must be fully opened and remain open during watering. Since there are no drainage holes at the bottom, the coco may take a little more time to fully absorb water and expand when watering from the bottom.
