Product Information

The Med-Tek range has been developed with both yield and quality parameters in mind. Our products have been researched with the guidance of industry experts and assisted through tissue testing and trials in US facilities. Our product line-up is true to our philosophy that it doesn’t take dozens of additives to achieve the best possible results. We sell less to give you more. In launching Med-Tek Nutrients Australia, we’ve chosen to focus initially on coconut coir specific nutrients and additives. After all, Australia is a coco nation with an estimated 85% of hobbyist hydroponic growers producing in coir. You’ll find information about our coir products below. Some nutrient manufacturers produce and sell only a single base coir nutrient formula to be used in grow and bloom. Growers are then advised to use an N top-up additive to boost N in the vegetative growth stage. However, this is far from a perfect solution. Other than higher N requirements, there are other factors which influence what is considered optimal plant nutrition during veg vs flower. Coir Vega is an aggressive, high N to K ratio, vegetative nutrient. It promotes vigorous new leaf and shoot growth without compromising plant structure and health. It’s also loaded in calcium and magnesium. Our research has found that particularly early in the crop cycle, the coir substrate exchange sites lock up a high degree of the calcium and magnesium provided in the nutrient solution. This may continue for several weeks.

Med-Tek Coir Vega is formulated to compensate for calcium and magnesium binding while also loading up the exchange sites in preparation for flower. This assists in promoting optimal plant nutrition in coir growing situations. For the recommended usage rate, please see the feed chart.

Med-Tek Coir Flores is explicitly developed to maximize coconut coir grown crop production during flower. It represents the cutting edge of contemporary knowledge re coir specific plant nutrition. Coir Flores is loaded IN calcium and magnesium to offset CEC site binding and with an ideal NPK ratio to optimize yields. A highly concentrated, mineral-dense formula, it ensures growers great value for money.
