Heavy metals in Coco and compliance testing

I was wondering if anyone has any information on the maximum levels of heavy metals that is acceptable in Coco fiber so you can pass heavy-metal compliance testing for flowers? I sent some samples to the United States to get tested from a friends coconut farm

All flowers are different for this. As well as, other items like nutrients used, water purity, and where you will grow it (inside, outside, greenhouse - heavy metals are often environmental as well).

Here is the USDA’s limits for heavy metals in soils.

Cannabis is a heavy metal accumulator, but you have nothing to worry about unless you mix the coco coir with something else, like poorly made manure-based compost, sewage sludge, or contaminated soil.
