Jiffy PRO7 Coco Block (70L, 5kg) – Peat-Free Growing Media
⚪ Type: Unfertilised / Blank Canvas
No nutrients have been added at all. This gives you total control over feeding from day one, with zero risk of the substrate fighting your own nutrient plan. The tradeoff: you must start feeding immediately — there's no built-in safety net if you forget or under-feed early on.
Jiffy PRO7 COCO BLOCK – 70L Premium Expanded Substrate
The Jiffy PRO7 COCO BLOCK is the ultimate choice for growers who need high-quality coco in bulk but want a solution that is easy to transport and discreet to store. This professional-grade substrate is more cost-effective than buying multiple individual bricks, delivering a massive 70 Litres of expanded media from a single 5kg block.
Why Choose Jiffy PRO7?
Professional Grade: 100% Buffered Coco Pith for immediate use.
RHP Certified: Guaranteed consistent quality and low salt levels for optimal plant health.
Highly Aerated: Promotes rapid root development and vigorous plant growth.
Discreet & Portable: Lightweight (5kg) and easy to store compared to heavy 50L bags of wet coco.
A Genuine Peat-Free Alternative for Allotments & Raised Beds
With peat extraction increasingly restricted and more gardeners actively choosing peat-free, a 5kg coco block that expands to 70 litres is one of the most cost-effective peat-free soil improvers available — far cheaper per litre than bagged peat-free multi-purpose compost, and easy to store flat until you need it. Dig it into raised beds and allotment plots to improve structure and water retention without a single scrap of peat.

How to Use & Prepare
- Hydrate: Place the block into a large container (e.g., a Garland 1m tray or wheelbarrow).
- Add Water: For a drier mix (30L water): ideal if you plan to "water in" your plants immediately after potting. For a wetter mix (35L water): ideal for direct planting without immediate watering. Tip: use lukewarm water for faster expansion.
- Fluffing: Let it swell for 15–20 minutes. Break it up with your hands or a garden fork to ensure a uniform, airy texture.
- Additives: This is the best time to mix in Perlite or Clay Pebbles if required.
- Planting: Pot on your plants, or dig straight into a raised bed or allotment plot. (Works perfectly with Jiffy7C or ROOT!T plugs for potted use.)
Feeding Advice
- Nutrients: Start feeding with a dedicated coco nutrient like VitaLink Coco Coir Grow.
- Dosage: Use 1-2 ml/L (A&B) for young plants, increasing to 3-4 ml/L as they establish.
- CalMag: In very soft water areas, we recommend adding 0.5ml/L of VitaLink CalMag during the growth stage to ensure peak performance.
Invest in Jiffy PRO7 for a cleaner, more efficient, and high-yielding grow operation — whether that's a hydroponic tent or a peat-free allotment bed.
