CocoCore 3-Gallon Plastic Grow Pot is a compressed coconut coir growing medium enclosed in a rigid plastic sleeve that serves as the final growing container. Designed for commercial cannabis and hemp cultivation, it expands to its full 3-gallon volume when hydrated, eliminating the need to fill separate pots with loose growing media. Made from 100% processed coconut coir (coco pith), the substrate provides moisture retention, drainage, and air-filled porosity to support root development and high-frequency irrigation programs. Its square 8 × 8 × 8-inch footprint simplifies plant-spacing calculations on benches and vertical racks, while the compressed format reduces shipping volume, storage requirements, and transplant labor. The substrate contains minimal native nutrients, giving growers control over fertigation; however, fresh coir should generally be calcium-magnesium buffered before planting.
• Product Type: Compressed coco coir grow pot
• Brand: CocoCore
• Expanded Media Volume: 3 gallons
• Pot Dimensions: 8 × 8 × 8 inches (L × W × H)
• Container Material: Rigid plastic sleeve
• Substrate Composition: 100% compressed coconut coir (coco pith)
• Format: Dry, compressed block that expands when hydrated
• Growing Characteristics: Good water-holding capacity and air-filled porosity
• Nutrient Content: Minimal native nutrients; allows precise control over nutrient delivery
• Primary Application: Commercial container-based cannabis and hemp cultivation
• Suitable Growth Stages: Late vegetative growth and flowering, depending on the growing program
• Irrigation Compatibility: Top-feed drip irrigation and other suitable container-irrigation systems
• Recommended Irrigation Approach: High-frequency, low-volume irrigation adjusted to substrate moisture and crop requirements
• Preparation: Hydrate slowly and evenly until the coir expands fully and has a uniform moisture level
• Pre-Planting Treatment: Calcium-magnesium buffering is recommended; check runoff EC and pH after hydration
• Container Use: Plastic sleeve remains in place throughout the crop cycle
• Storage & Transportation: Compressed format reduces shipping volume and on-site storage requirements
• Recycling/Disposal: Remove spent media after harvest and recycle or dispose of the plastic pot according to facility procedure
Key Advantage: CocoCore combines a pre-measured 3-gallon coco coir substrate and a rigid plastic growing container in one compressed unit. This eliminates manual pot filling, reduces media handling during transplanting, and provides a consistent 8 × 8-inch footprint for commercial bench and rack layouts. Its moisture-retaining yet freely draining substrate is suited to controlled drip-fertigation programs, while the reusable-container format can simplify handling across production cycles.
