UPuper® Rock wool does not carry, absorb or consume any water or nutrients. Meanwhile, growing plug trays does not prevent crops from absorbing nutrients. The elements given by water and fertilizer can be totally provided to plants. Growers do not need to consider the various effects of the substrates itself on crops. People can accurately mix the nutrition solution required by crops in each growing stage. It is conducive to the data collection, analysis and management to optimize planting strategies. UPuper® rock wool’s EC and pH values are stable, which is convenient to set a unified irrigation scheme to have an easier management, and keep the consistent growth of crop roots.
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.
Give roots more growing space.Better water and fertilizer retention.
1.As a growing plug trays manufacturer, What's the lead time?
About 10-15(normally) days for a 40HQ container.
2.Can growing plug trays be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process?
Yes, growing plug trays 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.
3.About growing plug trays,What is the best time of for daily irrigation?
It depends on your region and season. In case of similar climate conditions in Shanghai, it is recommended to start watering 2 hours after sunrise and stop watering 2-3 hours before sunset. Long term watering before sunset will lead to plant overgrowth. If necessary (in hot climate for example), please adjust your irrigation strategy in time to keep the water absorbed by plants consistent and grow evenly every day.
4.How do growing plug trays accommodate different irrigation methods, including drip systems, flood and drain, or ebb and flow?
growing plug trays can accommodate different irrigation methods by providing a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different systems. For example, the cubes can be cut to fit a drip system, or they can be used in a flood and drain system by providing a larger surface area for water to flow through. For an ebb and flow system, the cubes can be used to create a platform for the plants to sit on, allowing the water to flow around them.
5.Can growing plug trays be reused, and what is the recommended cleaning and sterilization process for multiple growing cycles?
Yes, growing plug trays 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.
6.What types of crops or plants are best suited for cultivation in growing plug trays, and are there any limitations?
growing plug trays are best suited for hydroponic cultivation of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Some of the most popular crops grown in rockwool cubes include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, and basil. Rockwool cubes can also be used to propagate cuttings from existing plants. The main limitation of rockwool cubes is that they are not suitable for growing root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. Additionally, rockwool cubes are not suitable for growing plants that require a lot of water, such as watermelons and pumpkins.
7.What are rockwool grow cubes?
Rockwool grow cubes are a type of growing medium made from melted basalt rock and chalk that is spun into fibers and then compressed into cubes. They are commonly used in hydroponic systems and are known for their excellent water retention and air porosity. Rockwool cubes are also pH neutral, making them ideal for growing a variety of plants.
8.What are the common challenges or issues that growers may encounter when using growing plug trays, and how can they be mitigated?
UPuper is a professional growing plug trays 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.
