Profile Growing Solutions (PGS) released two new engineered media solutions for hydroponic growers: HydraFiber Hydroponic Substrate + ProfileCoir slabs and 100% ProfileCoir slabs.

HydraFiber + Coir Slabs

These hydroponic slabs combine two premium substrates — HydraFiber engineered fiber and premium ProfileCoir — to optimize growing conditions for food production. Features include:

  • Better rooting: The blend of HydraFiber and ProfileCoir provides more airspace for better rooting, easier water uptake and a drier surface to reduce algae and fungus gnats.
  • Effective moisture management: The large surface area of HydraFiber makes water work more efficiently — resulting in 10% to 36.6% more water to every plant.
  • More oxygen in the root zone: The combination of HydraFiber and ProfileCoir provides greater availability of oxygen in the root zone and increases porosity while maintaining water retention.
  • Less buffering: HydraFiber and ProfileCoir simplifies production by requiring less buffering. Electrical conductivity (EC) is about half of conventional coir, while potassium levels are 65% lower.

ProfileCoir Slabs

These hydroponic slabs are made from 100% premium coconut coir, processed in an advanced facility and washed multiple times to remove contaminants and improve the growing environment for plants. Features include:

  • Highest quality coir: ProfileCoir slabs consist of high-quality material with a quality control process that is managed from start of production to final shipment.
  • Balanced pH: Materials are washed multiple times to reduce contaminants and unwanted salts for low EC and a stable pH of 5.5-6.0, creating a balance of proper air space and water holding for better growing.
  • More eco-friendly process: Profile’s manufacturing process takes actions to help the environment, such as removing coconut husks from the waste stream.
