Coir & preparation
Washing or buffering?
A low EC result and a buffering treatment answer different questions. Confirm both on the product specification before deciding how to prepare your cocopeat.

Why the root zone matters
A specific, traceable coir complaint is easier to investigate than a general statement that the material is bad.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Identify the order, batch, quantity affected and agreed requirement.
- Attach photographs, test methods and original results where relevant.
- Explain when the issue was noticed and how the material was handled.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What evidence is available?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Visible physical issue
Record dimensions or unit counts with photographs and a measurement reference.
Laboratory difference
Include sampling details and the full report rather than one isolated number.
Growing problem
Provide production context and avoid assuming substrate is the confirmed cause.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Request a documented investigation and agree how affected stock will be managed meanwhile.
Keep in mind
Do not alter or discard all affected material before the investigation plan is agreed.
