During the planting process, when we observed that the roots of the plant began to protrude from the bottom of the UPuper^® growing cube, we were about to transplant the plants to the UPuper^® grow slab. So do you know how and what to do with the slab before transplanting?

Let us learn it.

UPuper^® Grow Slab-

It can provide more nutrients and growth space for plant root growth.

Plants need to absorb nutrients and breathe through their roots to obtain energy in order to support various life activities. Therefore, after entering a certain growth stage, plants need a larger and more sufficient space for the roots to "grow wildly" and absorb more nutrients and air. So that there is enough energy to maintain other life activities and resist various diseases.

UPuper^® Grow Slab-

It can provide stable support for large plant growth.

At the same time, as the plants grow gradually, the parts above the rhizomes of some plants grow bigger and bigger, and a larger space is needed for the roots of the plants to "grasp" firmly to support the parts above the tall rhizomes and prevent the branches from being too heavy to cause the plant breaking.

UPuper^® growing slab plays a vital role in the later growth of plants, how to use it correctly? Please click on the video below to learn how to operate through the "Guide for the Use of UPuper^® Planting Strips".

Tips

So, are there any special matters that need to be paid attention to when using UPuper® hydroponic grow bag products?

It is especially important to note that when using UPuper® hydroponic rockwool slabs, the drains are opened at the bottom of both ends of the slabs. The purpose of opening the drains is to allow excess water and fertilizer to drain normally so that the EC value in the grow slab remains stable. The position of the drainage holes and the correct amount of irrigation directly affect the distribution of water and EC in the cultivation bags.

When using it, it is important not to set additional drainage holes on the slab, otherwise, it will change the drainage pattern of the grow slab, which may be detrimental to the plant roots in certain areas of the rockwool strips. Excess water and fertilizer will flow into the diversion tank, return to the irrigation system, and be recycled after disinfection and other measures. This not only saves water and fertilizer but also directly reduces carbon emissions.
