bio365 bioCoco No-Float Coco Coir - 1.5cf Bags

bio365 BIOCOCO 1.5 cu ft | Happy Hydro Perlite-free coco with bioCHARGE biology for growers who want maximum control over feeding and irrigation bio365 BIOCOCO is an engineered blend of coarse and fine coconut coir sourced from multiple continents, combined with bioCORE biochar and bioCHARGE biology. No perlite, no float. The "No Float" technology uses different coir fiber lengths instead of perlite, so particles stay in place during watering instead of rising to the surface. Contains a light starter charge (0.20-0.05-0.30) and is designed for growers who prefer to control their own fertigation: pulse-feeding, dry-stressing, and plant steering are all possible with BIOCOCO's responsive, high-porosity structure. OMRI Listed for organic use. OMRI Listed FSMA Tested Made in Ithaca, NY Free shipping over $49 30-day returns on all orders Serving growers since 2006 Gallery The bio365 team at their Ithaca, NY facility Compare Commodity coco vs. BIOCOCO Commodity Coco Coir Compressed bricks that need rehydrating and breaking apart Perlite floats to the surface after watering, disrupting structure No biology, no biochar, sterile inert media Variable EC and pH, often needs extensive buffering and rinsing Inconsistent fiber quality from batch to batch No nutrient starter charge, 100% dependent on your inputs from day one bio365 BIOCOCO Made 100% indoors, FSMA tested, stable EC and pH out of the bag No Float technology: coarse and fine coir replaces perlite, particles stay put bioCHARGE biology and bioCORE biochar pre-loaded and active Dual biochemical buffer provides forgiving pH stability Pre-hydrated, uncompressed, ready to use, no rinsing or buffering Light starter charge (0.20-0.05-0.30) with full grower control over feeding Features What BIOCOCO does differently No Float Technology, No Perlite A proprietary blend of coarse and fine coconut coir sourced from multiple continents replaces perlite entirely. Particles stay in place during watering instead of floating to the surface and disrupting root zone structure. High Porosity + High Water Retention BIOCOCO holds a large volume of both air and water simultaneously. This combination supports multiple irrigations per day, pulse-feeding strategies, and dry-stress techniques without compromising root health. Plant Steering in All Dimensions The responsive structure lets growers fine-tune fertigation and irrigation to steer plant behavior: pushing vegetative growth, triggering generative responses, or managing dry-backs for quality expression. bioCHARGE Biology + bioCORE Biochar OMRI Listed Same patented biochar and microbial inoculant platform as BIOFLOWER and BIOALL. Active beneficial biology from the moment you plant, anchored into the biochar matrix. Light Starter Charge 0.20-0.05-0.30 Just enough organic nutrition to get plants established. BIOCOCO is designed for growers who want to control the feed, not have the soil do it for them. Works with both organic and salt-based nutrient programs. Rockwool Replacement BIOCOCO is a direct upgrade from commodity coco or rockwool substrates. Same responsive behavior, but with active biology and a sustainable, organic base instead of mineral wool or sterile coir.

Fill pots, grow bags, or slabs. No rinsing, no buffering, no rehydrating compressed bricks. 2 Transplant or direct plant For seedlings, dig a small hole and use a seed-starting mix like BIOSTART in the planting pocket rather than seeding directly into BIOCOCO. For transplants and clones, plant directly. 3 Begin your feeding program The starter charge handles the first few days, then you take over. BIOCOCO responds well to both organic top-dressing and liquid fertigation. Adjust irrigation frequency to steer plant behavior. 4 Irrigate to your strategy Pulse-feed multiple times per day for aggressive growth, or let the media dry back between irrigations for generative steering. BIOCOCO's high porosity handles both approaches without waterlogging.

BIOCOCO is for growers who want to control the feed. BIOALL feeds the plant for you. Call us to discuss. 716-217-0353 / help@happyhydro.com Questions Frequently asked questions Can I use BIOCOCO for a full grow cycle? Yes. BIOCOCO is a full-cycle growing medium, not a starter mix. The light starter charge gets plants established, then you control the nutrition through your feeding program for the entire grow. It works from transplant through harvest in containers, grow bags, or slabs. What's the difference between BIOCOCO, BIOALL, and BIOFLOWER? BIOCOCO has a light starter charge and is designed for growers who want to control their own feeding. BIOALL has 5 weeks of built-in nutrition and is the most forgiving option for growers who want the soil to do most of the work during veg. BIOFLOWER has 8 weeks of nutrition tuned specifically for the flowering stage. Many growers use BIOCOCO when they want maximum control over inputs, and BIOALL or BIOFLOWER when they want a more hands-off approach. Does BIOCOCO need to be rinsed or buffered before use? No. Unlike commodity coco that ships as compressed bricks with high salt content, BIOCOCO is manufactured indoors with controlled inputs, pre-hydrated, and ready to use from the bag. The EC is low and pH is stable out of the package. No rinsing, no buffering, no rehydrating. Can I water BIOCOCO multiple times per day? Yes, that is exactly what BIOCOCO is designed for. The high air-filled porosity and water retention allow for frequent irrigation without waterlogging. Pulse-feeding strategies, drain-to-waste setups, and high-frequency fertigation all work well with this media. Is BIOCOCO a replacement for rockwool? Yes. BIOCOCO provides the same responsive, high-porosity behavior that rockwool growers expect, but with active biology and organic sustainability. Growers switching from rockwool to BIOCOCO report similar steering control with the added benefit of beneficial microbes supporting root health and nutrient uptake. Why does BIOCOCO use coir from multiple continents? Different regions produce coconut coir with different fiber lengths, densities, and water-holding characteristics. bio365 sources and blends coir from multiple origins to achieve a specific ratio of coarse and fine fibers that creates the "No Float" effect and the target air-filled porosity. Single-source coco can't hit these specifications consistently. What if I receive a damaged bag or the product isn't right for my setup?
