growing in rockwool mini cubes has the least impact on the environment among all substrates. UPuper® rock wool cubes are made from natural rock and melted at 1500℃. It has no pathogenic bacteria, toxic and harmful substances. It provides a pollution-free root environment for growing green crops. UPuper® Rock wool substrates can also realize recycling, which makes it to become a green, safe, stable and reliable soilless culture medium.
Instructions for using rockwool cubes: 1. Soak the rockwool cubes in warm water to fully foam. 2. Put the rockwool cubes into a container and distribute evenly. 3. Place the seeds gently on the surface in the correct direction and wrap them in rockwool cubes, as the frosted rockwool grow cubes can absorb enough water to ensure sufficient moisture coverage of the plant roots. 4. Depending on the variety of plants, they can grow new roots under the support of external plant sprouting cloths, achieving germination. 5. Put the sprouted cloth blocks of plants back into the container and replenish them with water in a timely manner.
Individually wrapped cubes hold the rockwool’s shape and prevent algae growth. Easy to transport without hurting the roots and can improve transplanting efficiency.
1.What are the common challenges or issues that growers may encounter when using growing in rockwool mini cubes, and how can they be mitigated?
UPuper is a professional growing in rockwool mini cubes manufacturer and may encounter these issues. We provide corresponding suggestions: 1. Poor drainage: Rockwool cubes can become waterlogged if not properly drained. To mitigate this, growers should ensure that the cubes are placed in a tray with adequate drainage holes and that the cubes are not over-watered. 2. pH imbalance: Rockwool cubes can become too acidic or alkaline if not properly managed. To mitigate this, growers should regularly check the pH of the cubes and adjust as needed. 3. Nutrient deficiencies: Rockwool cubes can become nutrient deficient if not properly managed. To mitigate this, growers should regularly check the nutrient levels of the cubes and adjust as needed. 4. Pest infestations: Rockwool cubes can become infested with pests if not properly managed. To mitigate this, growers should regularly inspect the cubes for signs of pests and take appropriate action if necessary.
2.About growing in rockwool mini cubes,What is the minimum purchase?
The MOQ is one carton.
3.Can growing in rockwool mini cubes be reused, and what is the recommended cleaning and sterilization process for multiple growing cycles?
Yes, growing in rockwool mini cubes can be reused. The recommended cleaning and sterilization process for multiple growing cycles is to soak the cubes in a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes, rinse them thoroughly with clean water, and then allow them to dry completely before reusing.
4.As a growing in rockwool mini cubes manufacturer, How to ship the goods to the customer?
DHL , USP , FedEx , EMS , by air , by sea , and customer's forwarder are also acceptable.
5.As a growing in rockwool mini cubes manufacturer, How to control the EC Value of rock wool planting strip?
The rock wool cultivation strip itself does not contain any nutrients, so it only needs to adjust the nutrient supply according to the EC value required by each growth stage of the crops. At the same time, growers can make small and frequent changes in the irrigation strategies (for example, when the EC is too high, multiple slight adjustments are more convenient and safe than large adjustments).
6.About growing in rockwool mini cubes,Should I water from the top or root of the plant?
Seedling raise can use the tidal seedbed and the drip irrigation control system used after transplanting. Those processes are watered from below the plant and close to the root.
7.Can growing in rockwool mini cubes be used in combination with traditional soil to improve aeration and drainage in potted plants?
Yes, growing in rockwool mini cubes can be used in combination with traditional soil to improve aeration and drainage in potted plants. Rockwool is a lightweight, porous material that helps to improve drainage and aeration in soil, allowing for better root growth and healthier plants. It can also help to retain moisture in the soil, which is beneficial for plants that require more frequent watering.
8.As a growing in rockwool mini cubes manufacturer,Why use soilless cultivation?
Soilless cultivation is the most advanced cultivation technology in modern agriculture. From cultivation facilities to environmental control, the whole process can be monitored and regulated according to the needs of crop growth and development. It can realize early maturity and high yield of crops; Production of pollution-free products; greatly improve working conditions, save labor and reduce labor intensity; Save water and fertilizer; Avoid soil continuous planting barriers; it has no regional restrictions and can make the space fully used; so that contribute to the automation and intelligence of cultivation.
9.How do you prevent the formation of algae or mold on the surface of growing in rockwool mini cubes?
To avoid causing losses due to these issues, UPuper recommends that you do the following: 1. Make sure to keep the rockwool grow cubes in a well-ventilated area. 2. Avoid overwatering the rockwool grow cubes. 3. Clean the rockwool grow cubes regularly with a mild detergent and water solution. 4. Use a fungicide or algaecide to prevent the formation of algae or mold. 5. Make sure to keep the rockwool grow cubes away from direct sunlight.
10.What types of fertilizers and nutrients are commonly used with growing in rockwool mini cubes?
Common fertilizers and nutrients used with rockwool grow cubes include: -Organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion, kelp meal, and compost tea -Synthetic fertilizers such as 20-20-20, 15-30-15, and 10-52-10 -Micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and manganese -Calcium and magnesium supplements -pH adjusters such as lime or sulfur
11.Is it possible to get samples of the growing in rockwool mini cubes for you?
Yes, we can provide samples for your quality testing.
12.Can growing in rockwool mini cubes be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process?
Yes, growing in rockwool mini cubes can be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process. Rockwool cubes are often used in hydroponic systems as a medium for starting seeds or cuttings, and can be used in conjunction with other growing media such as perlite, vermiculite, and coco coir. Rockwool cubes can also be used in multi-stage cultivation processes, such as in aeroponic systems, where the cubes are used to start the seedlings and then transferred to a larger growing medium.
13.As a growing in rockwool mini cubes manufacturer,What is soilless cultivation?
Soilless cultivation is a method of cultivating plants without natural soil nor use compound fertilizer and similar compound fertilizer based on soil. It is a new method that only uses nutrient solution to support for plant growth or various cultivation substrates that can replace soil and are suitable for plant growth. Soilless cultivation can be divided into fog cultivation, water cultivation and solid substrate cultivation. UPuper® Rock wool substrate belongs to solid substrate cultivation.
14.What environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, are optimal for using growing in rockwool mini cubes in indoor or outdoor growing setups?
The optimal environmental conditions for using rockwool grow cubes in indoor or outdoor growing setups are temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and humidity levels between 40-60%. It is important to maintain these conditions to ensure the best results for your plants.
