The COGR range is a proven system that is rapidly becoming the method of choice for growing in coco slabs in Holland. At the heart of this system are compressed un-buffered slabs of coco that require you, the grower, to soak with the special COGr buffering agent and then feed with a dedicated COGR Vega feed during the vegetative stage switching to COGR Flores during the flowering period. These nutrients contain added humic and fulvic acids for improved nutrient uptake as well as silicon for increased resistance to pests and disease.
For growers wanting to use this system in pots you simply buffer the slabs in the normal way and then empty the contents out into pots. Each slab makes between 21 - 25 litres of coco when decompressed. A 1 Litre pack of COGR Buffering Agent dilutes to 500 Litres, one application per crop. A 2 Litre pack of Canna COGR nutrients (1 Litre A, 1 Litre B) makes up 250 Litres of full strength nutrient. Universal formulation for hard and soft water.

- COGR boards are pressed and delivered dry, whichfacilitates transportation and storage, see (1).
- In order to prepare them for use, the COGR boardsmust first be soaked and buffered in thespecially prepared COGR BUFFER AGENT.The boards will increase in volume from 3litres to 17 litres of top quality substrate,see (2).
- Dilute the BUFFERING AGENTwith water in the ratio 1:500 andadjust the pH to 5.5-5.8.
- Add ± 12.5 litres of dilutedbuffering liquid per COGR board,using a watering can or hose, see(3).
- Drainage slits are made eitherbefore or after the BUFFERINGAGENT has been added,depending on which system youuse, see (4).
- Leave the COGR in theBUFFERING AGENT for 24 hours toallow for total conditioning. Allowthe excess moisture to drain fromthe slab and then make holes forthe plant, see (5).
- The COGR is now ready to be planted, see (1).
- As soon as the cuttings are in the slab, werecommend that you use RHIZOTONIC. Thisstimulates root growth and facilitates rootingwithin the slab. More vigorous plans areformed, yielding a more productiveplant. RHIZOTONIC can be added byspraying the leaves, using a watering-can or a drip irrigation system, see (2).
- Start with COGR VEGA with an EC of1.5 mS/cm2, pH 5.5-5.8. See (3).
- Once the plants have developed agood root structure, the EC should beraised to 1:250. Recommended EC:1.8-2.4 mS/cm2, depending on thequality of the water and its EC.
- Use COGR VEGA up to and including the first 2-3 weeks ofthe flowering period (12 hours light/darkness). Oncegrowth has peaked and flower formation begins, itis time to start using COGR FLORES (dilution 1:250;EC 1.8-2.7 mS/cm2; pH 5.5-5.8). See (1).
- During flowering, the plant needs morephosphate and potassium which canbe supplied by adding PK 13/14 forone week, four weeks beforeharvesting. Result: extra yield. see (2).
- Stop giving COGR FLORES a weekbefore harvesting.
- Just give water and CANNAZYMduring the last week.
Reuse:
Due to its solid structure, COGR can be reused 3 timeswithout any problems or quality loss.
-Harvest the plant and remove the plant remains abovesoil level, see (1).
-Rinse the COGR granulate thoroughly with a double doseof CANNAZYM and allow it to rest for 24 hours, see (2).
-BUFFERING AGENT is no longer necessary, so you canbegin planting immediately, see (3).
Irrigation:
The guideline for full grown plants is 4-6 litres/m2 a day. Therecommended number of drip feedings is 1 to 3 a day.Drip feeding should preferably take place during thedaytime when the lamps are on. Provide sufficientdrainage (10-20%). With tap water that has a high saltcontent (EC > 0.6 mS/cm2) the percentage drain shouldbe increased to prevent salt accumulation.
Tips:
- When cultivating in plant trays with asealable drainage system, it is easier tobegin by making the drainage incisions,then turning over the COGR and fillingthe plant container with the bufferingsolution.
- Once the plants have been in the COGR for twoweeks, it is recommended that CANNAZYM beadded to the feeding. CANNAZYM breaks downdead roots, provides more air in the slab,prevents plant diseases, stimulates the soil‘s microlife and makes extra nutrients available to theroots. CANNAZYM can be given continuously withthe feeding (dilution 1:400) or once a week(dilution 1:100). Furthermore, CANNAZYMincreases the re-usage possibilities of the COGR.
