However, knowing which product range is best suited for you and your needs. So, in this article, we have prepared all the various options available, depending on what type of cultivator you currently are or wish to become!
Firstly… which type of cultivator are you?

Below are the different options we offer based on your skill level, experience, growing space, and ambitions.

If you’re all about big yields and delicious crops, growing with coco coir is a top-notch choice. Coco is lightweight, easy to manage, and perfect for getting the most out of your plants.

Why Choose Coco Coir?
• High Drainage and Aeration: Coco coir gives your roots the perfect environment to thrive.
• Eco-Friendly: Made from coconut husks, it’s sustainable and reusable.

But that’s just the start—pair your coco with the B’CUZZ Coco nutrient line, and you’ll be on your way to growing monster crops in no time. Our B’CUZZ line is designed for growers who want to maximize their yields without sacrificing quality. Each product is mineral-based and carefully balanced to support coco cultivation at its best.
