Coco Gro Boss - Boss is unique in its composition and is manufactured with extra washes to remove excess sodium. Boss is made from 3/4" double sieved coir fibers for increased air space to the root zone. The fiber is aged 18 to 24 months and is fully decomposed to ensure no P.H. or E.C. drifts. Boss is exceptional because of its multi-drain capability. It contains a coarse coir fiber mat on the bottom of the block to allow for free drainage and to keep coir fiber particles from draining out of the bag. Each Boss is compressed in a 5 to 1 ratio and is available in 6" X 6" and 8" X 8" bags.
