£7.06

Atami B'cuzz Coco A&B 1L is a concentrated two-part mineral base nutrient developed specifically for plants grown in coco and coco-based substrates, providing the essential nutrition required for strong, healthy development throughout the crop cycle.

Coco coir offers growers excellent root-zone aeration, water retention and close control over crop nutrition. However, its nutritional characteristics differ significantly from conventional soil and peat-based compost, making a dedicated coco fertiliser particularly useful.

B'cuzz Coco A&B has been formulated specifically around these characteristics. Coco A has an NK analysis of 5-5 W/W and contains approximately 4% calcium W/W, while Coco B has a PK analysis of 4-6 W/W and provides phosphorus and essential micronutrients.

This calcium content is particularly relevant in coco cultivation. Coco substrates are naturally rich in potassium but naturally poor in calcium, so Atami has formulated Coco A to provide calcium as part of the base feeding programme.

Atami recommends 1-3ml/L of Coco A plus 1-3ml/L of Coco B. Both parts are used together and can provide base nutrition throughout growth, flowering and ripening.

Why coco needs dedicated nutrition

Coco is not nutritionally identical to soil or peat-based compost. Its physical and chemical characteristics influence how nutrients behave within the root zone and how they are made available to the plant.

Atami highlights one particularly important characteristic: coco is naturally rich in potassium but naturally poor in calcium.

Coco A has therefore been formulated with approximately 4% calcium W/W alongside nitrogen and other base elements, helping provide appropriate nutrition for crops grown in high-quality coco substrates.

Coco B complements the A component by supplying phosphorus and the necessary micronutrients. Used together, the two components form the nutritional foundation of the B'cuzz Coco programme.

Why does Coco A&B come in two parts?

Some mineral nutrients can react chemically with one another when they are present together at very high concentrations.

These reactions can produce compounds that are less available to plants, which is why Atami separates the concentrated formulation into Coco A and Coco B.

Keeping the two concentrates separate maintains their stability during storage. They are only brought together once they have been diluted into water.

Coco A and Coco B are complementary components rather than separate grow and bloom fertilisers. Both are required when preparing the complete base nutrient solution.

Important: never mix Coco A & B concentrates directly

Never pour undiluted Coco A and undiluted Coco B directly together.

Add the required amount of Coco A to the irrigation water and mix thoroughly. Once Coco A is fully dispersed, add the required quantity of Coco B and mix the solution again.

Compatible stimulators and additives can then be incorporated according to the chosen feeding programme.

Once the complete nutrient solution has been prepared, check and adjust the final EC and pH as required for the crop and growing system.

Base nutrition throughout growth, flowering & ripening

B'cuzz Coco A&B can be used throughout the entire crop cycle rather than requiring completely different base fertilisers for vegetative and flowering stages.

During vegetative growth, Coco A&B supplies the mineral foundation required as roots, leaves, shoots and stems develop.

As plants transition into flowering, the same A&B base nutrient remains in the programme while specialist flowering products can be introduced according to crop requirements.

This approach allows the base nutrition to remain consistent while supplementary products and feeding strength are adjusted as the crop develops.

How to use Atami B'cuzz Coco A&B

Atami recommends a general dosage of 1-3ml/L of Coco A plus 1-3ml/L of Coco B.

At this dosage range, a 10L reservoir requires 10-30ml of Coco A plus 10-30ml of Coco B. A 50L reservoir requires 50-150ml of each part, while a 100L reservoir requires 100-300ml of each part.

Each 1L component can prepare approximately 333-1,000 litres of nutrient solution across the general 1-3ml/L application range.

Feeding strength should be adapted according to crop species, development stage, plant condition, environmental conditions, light intensity, source water and any additional products in the feeding programme.

Monitoring the EC of the complete nutrient solution provides an important reference when adjusting the final concentration.

Managing pH & EC when growing in coco

One of the advantages of coco cultivation is the degree of control it gives growers over the nutrient solution supplied to the root zone.

Atami's current coco cultivation guidance recommends maintaining the nutrient solution at approximately pH 5.5-6.2, while EC should be adjusted according to crop stage and plant requirements.

Source water and any stimulators, boosters or flowering additives will contribute to the final nutrient solution, so EC should be checked after the complete feed has been mixed.

The foundation of the B'cuzz Coco programme

Coco A&B provides the base mineral nutrition around which the wider Atami B'cuzz Coco feeding programme can be built.

During early establishment, B'cuzz Root Stimulator can be incorporated to support root development. Coco Booster Uni can then provide additional support as plants move into active vegetative development.

Once flowers begin to form, Coco Bloom Stimulator can be introduced to support generative development, with appropriate bloom and ripening products used later according to the chosen crop programme.

Coco A&B remains the base nutrient throughout these stages, with the application rate adjusted according to plant demand and the overall nutrient solution.

Coco A&B vs Coco Booster Uni

Coco A&B and Coco Booster Uni perform different roles within the B'cuzz Coco programme.

Coco A&B is the base nutrient, providing the fundamental mineral nutrition required throughout the crop cycle.

Coco Booster Uni is a supplementary booster containing plant extracts, magnesium and iron and is positioned around the transition between rooting and flowering.

Coco Booster Uni therefore complements Coco A&B rather than replacing it.

Coco A&B vs Coco Bloom Stimulator

Coco Bloom Stimulator is also a supplementary product rather than a replacement for Coco A&B.

Coco A&B supplies the main mineral nutrition throughout the crop cycle, while Coco Bloom Stimulator is introduced from flower formation to provide specialist flowering-stage support.

Using crop-stage products around a consistent base nutrient allows the wider B'cuzz Coco programme to change as the developmental priorities of the plant change.

Coco A&B vs Soil A&B

Atami produces different base nutrients for coco and soil because the growing media have different nutritional characteristics.

Coco A&B is formulated specifically around coco-based substrates, including their naturally low calcium content.

Soil A&B is formulated for soil and soil-based substrates and uses a different nutrient analysis.

Growers using coco should therefore choose the dedicated Coco A&B formulation rather than treating coco as conventional potting compost.
