What's the difference between High EC and Low EC coco peat?

EC (Electrical Conductivity) indicates the soluble salt content in coco peat.

Low EC Coco Peat: Washed and buffered with low salt content, making it ideal for hydroponics, nurseries, seed germination, and salt-sensitive crops.

High EC Coco Peat: Contains a higher natural salt level and is commonly preferred by buyers who perform their own washing and buffering, or use it for applications where higher EC is acceptable.

We can supply both High EC and Low EC grades based on your cultivation requirements.

Can you customize packaging size or product specifications?
