With low electrical conductivity (EC) and balanced pH, CJGQ coco coir provides stable texture and reliable moisture retention while supporting healthy root aeration. Each brick is lightweight for storage and transport, yet expands to provide a generous volume of loose growing media when hydrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much volume does one brick produce after adding water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach CJGQ coco coir brick weighs roughly 1.4 pounds compressed and rehydrates to about 9 quarts of loose coir.
