Triple-washed 100% coco pith in a rigid plastic pot — ships flat, expands ready-to-plant.
The CocoCore 1-Gallon Plastic Compressed Grow Pot is a 100% coco pith block pre-loaded inside a rigid plastic container. Each unit ships dry at 5.5″ × 5.5″ × 1.2″ and hydrates to a full 6″ × 6″ × 6″ volume, giving commercial facilities a consistent, labor-saving substrate format at scale.
The CocoCore 1-Gallon Plastic Compressed Grow Pot (SKU 38874) is a single-use, pre-formed substrate solution built for production-scale cannabis and hemp cultivation. Each pot is a rigid plastic container with a triple-washed, compressed coco pith block inside. In its dry state the unit measures just 5.5″ × 5.5″ × 1.2″ — roughly the footprint of a standard floor tile and less than an inch and a half tall — making pallet storage and transport dramatically more efficient than pre-expanded media.
Add water and the pith block fully expands to a 6″ × 6″ × 6″ cubic volume, filling the plastic pot wall-to-wall and ready for transplant or direct propagation. The triple-washing process removes excess salts, bringing electrical conductivity down to a level that puts nutrient management entirely in the grower's hands from the first irrigation event.
This format is designed for licensed commercial cannabis and hemp facilities running high-density, repeatable production cycles. The 1-gallon volume is well-matched to single-cycle drip-to-waste runs — particularly for operators doing clone-to-harvest workflows where a second transplant is not part of the protocol. High-plant-count facilities benefit from the compressed format: 80 units per carton stack cleanly, palletize tightly, and require a fraction of the storage footprint of loose or pre-hydrated media.
The rigid plastic pot provides structural support on rolling benches and racking systems, holds its shape during drip irrigation events, and allows dripper stakes to seat reliably without puncturing or distorting the container. For facilities standardizing on a 6-inch pot spacing or running 6-inch-compatible bench systems, the expanded dimensions are a direct fit.
CocoCore's coco pith substrate is sourced and processed to deliver a water holding capacity of 60–65% alongside an air-filled porosity of approximately 36%. That combination keeps the root zone hydrated through fertigation cycles while maintaining enough oxygen in the pore space to prevent anaerobic conditions — a balance that supports rapid root colonization and consistent vegetative and flower performance.
The triple-washing protocol is designed to strip naturally occurring sodium and potassium salts from the raw coir fiber. The result is a low-EC medium that lets operators dial in their nutrient program without fighting background salt levels. Because the pith arrives uninoculated and additive-free, it is fully compatible with custom nutrient programs including two-part, three-part, and single-concentrate fertigation systems used in licensed production environments.
At 80 units per carton, a single pallet of CocoCore 1-gallon plastic pots can outfit a substantial canopy without complex staging logistics. The compressed format means facilities can receive and store weeks of substrate inventory without dedicating warehouse space to pre-expanded media. On transplant day, units are hydrated in place on the bench — no media mixing, no filling, no pot-stuffing labor.
For facilities evaluating substrate costs across a full year's production, the all-in-one format (pot + media, single SKU) simplifies purchasing, receiving, and inventory tracking compared to managing loose coco and separate containers.

Set the pot on a flat surface or directly on your bench and slowly add water — either by pouring or running a drip emitter — until the pith block fully expands to fill the plastic container. The block will expand from its 1.2″ compressed height to a full 6-inch cube. Avoid flooding; let the water absorb progressively to ensure even expansion through the full depth of the block.
CocoCore's triple-washing process removes excess salts, but the product is described as 100% coco pith without added buffering agents. Operators running calcium-magnesium-sensitive nutrient programs should run an initial flush with their standard CalMag solution prior to transplant, which is standard practice with unwashed or minimally buffered coco substrates at the commercial level.
Yes. The rigid plastic pot holds its shape under drip pressure and provides a stable base for standard dripper stakes. The 6-inch footprint is compatible with most commercial bench spacing configurations. Confirm your dripper stake diameter against the pot opening before deploying at scale.

A 1-gallon coco volume is commonly used for full-cycle single-transplant runs in high-frequency drip-to-waste systems where plants are irrigated multiple times per day. Many commercial facilities use this container size successfully through veg and flower with dense plant counts and optimized fertigation schedules. Operators running longer veg periods or lower irrigation frequencies may prefer a larger volume — CocoCore offers additional sizes for those applications.
