FloraFlex QuickFill Coco 3/4 Gal Goes In Open Top and Pre-Drilled
The 3/4 gal QuickFill coco block arrives compressed in a solid white PE wrapper, open at the top. Water it and it expands 5:1 into a 3.2 L cube near 6" x 6" x 6" at 60% water to 40% air. The coco is super-washed to an EC under 0.6 on the Dutch 1:1.5 method. Your first feed is the feed the roots actually see. Every batch is CDFA and OMRI certified and carries a laser-printed code back to its own heavy-metals panel.
Where These Expandable Coco Coir Bags Fit in a Drain-to-Waste Run
The pre-drilled center hole takes a 40|40 plug or a rooted clone, with two smaller holes for micro-dripper stakes. Hydrate on a 2-way assembly at 0.3 gph per stake and give it 75 to 90 minutes before anything goes in. From there it runs like any low-EC coco coir growing media in drain-to-waste, ebb-and-flow, or hand-fed benches. The open top cuts both ways. It makes top-dressing and hand-feeding simple, but a wet coco surface under a hard canopy will green up unless the plants shade it. At 3.2 L this is a propagation and early-veg container, not the pot you finish in.
Key Features
- 60% Water Holding Capacity: Holds 60% water by volume against 40% air space, so the block stays wet between shots without going anaerobic.
- Super-Washed to EC Under 0.6: Measured by the Dutch 1:1.5 method, so nothing in the medium skews your feed EC on day one.
- Pre-Drilled for Plugs and Drippers: A center hole sized for a 40|40 plug plus two stake holes puts transplant and irrigation in one motion.
- CDFA and OMRI Certified: Small-batch heavy-metals testing with a laser-printed batch number on every block for traceability.
- Case of 30, Compressed 5:1: A full bench worth of media stores on a shelf until you are ready to hydrate it.
