Gold Label HydroCoco 60/40 is a premium hydroponic growing medium made from 60% Hydrocorn clay pebbles (8–16mm) blended with 40% high quality coco coir. It’s built for growers who want the oxygen and drainage benefits of clay pebbles, with extra moisture retention from coco to make feeding and irrigation more forgiving.

Compared to a drier, faster-draining blend, 60/40 holds water for longer and helps keep the root zone stable, which is ideal in warmer rooms, smaller plants, or anywhere your medium tends to dry out quickly. Perfect for IWS Flood & Drain and Drip Irrigation systems.

Why it works

The Hydrocorn keeps the structure open and free draining, reducing compaction and improving oxygen at the roots. The higher coco content increases water holding capacity, helping plants stay hydrated between feeds while still maintaining a clean, responsive hydro-style medium.

Choosing the right medium (quick comparison)

If you’re deciding between popular options, here’s the simple way to look at it:

More drainage and air
Dries faster
Best for high-frequency feeding and maximum oxygen at the roots

Gold Label HydroCoco 60/40

More moisture retention
More forgiving between irrigations
Best for steadier moisture levels and easier day-to-day management

Gold Label Coco/Perlite 70/30

More like a traditional coco grow with extra aeration
Great for hand watering or drip feeding
A strong option if you want coco performance without clay pebbles

Canna Coco Professional

Best suited to

Flood and drain (ebb and flow) systems
Pot-based hydroponic setups
Automated irrigation and drip feeding
Growers who want more moisture retention than 80/20
Grow rooms where the medium dries out quickly

How to use

Use straight from the bag in pots, trays, or hydro systems. Feed with your preferred nutrient line and adjust irrigation frequency to suit your environment and plant size. Because 60/40 holds more moisture than 80/20, you can usually run slightly longer intervals between irrigations while keeping the root zone in a strong balance.
