BioNova Coco Forte A+B

Product detailed description

Complete nutrition for coco in one set

BioNova Coco Forte A+B is a highly concentrated two-component fertiliser that represents the simplest and most effective solution for growing annual plants such as tomatoes, peppers or herbs in any coco substrate. Forget the need to alternate fertilisers for growth and bloom – this set provides everything you need from the first week right through to harvest. Thanks to its extreme concentration, it is also exceptionally economical.

Key features and benefits: The power of concentration and purity

Success in cultivation lies in the details. That is why Coco Forte A+B is made from the highest-quality ingredients, which give your plants a noticeable advantage.

• Food-grade minerals: All nutrients are immediately available to plants and easy to absorb. This means a faster response to feeding and optimal control over nutrition. The pure composition is also reflected in the final taste and aroma of your harvest.
• Chelated trace elements: Trace elements have a protective coating (chelate) that keeps them stable and available to plants across a wider pH range. Your plants therefore do not suffer from a deficiency, even if the pH of the feed solution is not completely ideal.
• Low content of ballast salts: The fertiliser contains a minimum of unnecessary salts that would build up in the substrate and could damage the roots. This makes it ideal for drip irrigation and recirculation systems, as there is no risk of clogging.
• High concentration (1:600): From one litre of fertiliser you can prepare up to 600 litres of nutrient solution, making it one of the most economical solutions on the market.

Why choose a fertiliser specifically for coco?

Coco substrate is not soil – it is an almost inert medium with unique properties. It has a natural tendency to bind calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) and, conversely, release potassium (K). Using a standard fertiliser would lead to a rapid deficiency of calcium and magnesium, which would show as slowed growth and yellowing leaves. Coco Forte A+B fertiliser is specially formulated with a higher content of calcium and magnesium to compensate for this effect and ensure perfect nutrient balance for your plants throughout the entire cultivation cycle.

Instructions for use: An easy path to a rich harvest

Use is very simple. Apply the fertiliser with every watering from the first week of growth until the week before harvest, when it is necessary to flush with clean water.

1. Shake both bottles well, component A and B.
2. Fill the watering tank with water.
3. Add component A at a ratio of 9–18 ml per 10 litres of water and mix thoroughly.
4. Then add the same amount of component B (9–18 ml per 10 litres of water) and mix again.
5. IMPORTANT: Never mix the concentrates of components A and B directly together! They would be rendered ineffective.
6. After mixing, check and, if necessary, adjust the pH of the resulting solution to 5.5–6.5.

When reusing the substrate, we recommend measuring its EC first so that you can better adjust the initial fertiliser dose.

Troubleshooting tips and advanced techniques

The fertiliser composition gives you a unique opportunity to address any nutrient deficiencies in a targeted way or influence plant development.

• Deficiency of nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg): This shows as slow growth and yellowing of the lower leaves. For a quick remedy, you can temporarily apply only component A, either by watering or as a foliar spray.
• Deficiency of phosphorus (P) or potassium (K): A typical sign is weak flowering, the formation of small fruits and reddish stems. In that case, apply component B separately.
• Support for the growth (vegetative) phase: If you want to support vigorous growth of green mass, you can temporarily change the ratio to 2 parts component A and 1 part component B.
• Support for the flowering phase: For a faster onset and more abundant flowering, change the ratio to 2 parts component B and 1 part component A.

Recommended combinations for maximum results

Although Coco Forte A+B is a complete basic nutrition, combining it with other supplements can achieve even more impressive results. For a synergistic effect, we recommend combining it with products:

• BN-Zym: For breaking down dead roots and maintaining a healthy, airy substrate.
• X-ceL: For stimulating growth and bloom and increasing yield overall.
• Silution: For strengthening cell walls and increasing resistance to stress, pests and drought.
• The Missing Link: For supplementing essential trace elements and strengthening the natural defence of plants.
