growing sod plugs 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.
Give roots more growing space.Better water and fertilizer retention.
1.Can growing sod plugs be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process?
Yes, growing sod plugs 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.
2.What is the recommended method for disposing of used growing sod plugs to minimize environmental impact?
The recommended method for disposing of used growing sod plugss is to compost them. Rockwool is made from basalt and chalk, which are both natural materials that can be broken down by microorganisms in the soil. Composting the cubes will help to reduce the environmental impact by returning the materials to the soil.
3.Are growing sod plugs compatible with automatic irrigation and nutrient delivery systems commonly used in hydroponics?
Yes, growing sod plugs are compatible with automatic irrigation and nutrient delivery systems commonly used in hydroponics. However, it is important to note that rockwool cubes should be soaked in water before use to ensure that they are properly hydrated. Additionally, rockwool cubes should be flushed with water every few weeks to prevent nutrient buildup.
4.As a growing sod plugs 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.Do growing sod plugs have natural resistance to pests and diseases in horticultural settings?
No, rockwool grow cubes do not have natural resistance to pests and diseases in horticultural settings. It is important to use proper pest and disease control measures to ensure healthy plants.
6.Are growing sod plugs suitable for both soil-based and soilless growing systems?
Yes, growing sod plugs are suitable for both soil-based and soilless growing systems. Rockwool is a great medium for both types of systems because it is lightweight, sterile, and provides excellent drainage and aeration. It also holds moisture well, making it an ideal choice for both types of systems.
7.What types of fertilizers and nutrients are commonly used with growing sod plugs?
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
8.What is the composition and material of growing sod plugs, and how do they compare to other growing mediums like soil or coco coir?
growing sod plugs are made from a combination of basalt and chalk that is melted and spun into fibers. The fibers are then compressed into cubes. Rockwool is a great growing medium because it is sterile, lightweight, and provides excellent drainage and aeration. It also holds moisture well and is pH neutral. Compared to soil, rockwool is much lighter and easier to work with, and it does not contain any of the pests or diseases that can be found in soil. Compared to coco coir, rockwool is more sterile and does not contain any of the salts that can be found in coco coir. Rockwool is also more lightweight and easier to work with than coco coir.
9.How do growing sod plugs promote aeration in the root zone, and what benefits does this offer for plant health?
growing sod plugs promote aeration in the root zone by providing a porous, airy environment for the roots to grow in. This helps to ensure that the roots have access to oxygen, which is essential for healthy root growth and development. The increased aeration also helps to reduce the risk of root rot and other diseases, as well as promoting better nutrient uptake. Additionally, the increased aeration helps to regulate the temperature of the root zone, which can help to protect the plant from extreme temperatures.
10.About growing sod plugs,Why should we open some drains on the rock wool cultivation strip?
The drain is opened at the bottom of both ends of the cultivation strip. The drain is opened to allow the normal discharge of excess water and fertilizer to keep the EC Value in the planting strip stable. The location of drainage holes and the correct irrigation amount directly affect the distribution of water and EC in the cultivation strip. Be sure not to set additional drainage holes in the planting strip when you use them, otherwise it will change the planting strip drainage mode, which may be unfavorable to the plant roots in some areas in the planting strip. The surplus water and fertilizer will flow into the diversion tank and return to the irrigation system for recycling after disinfection and other process. It can not only solve the problem of water and fertilizer, but also protect the environment.
11.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.
12.How do growing sod plugs contribute to root stability and prevent transplant shock when moving plants to larger containers?
Rockwool grow cubes provide a stable environment for roots to grow and develop. The cubes are designed to hold moisture and nutrients, which helps to reduce transplant shock and promote healthy root growth. The cubes also provide a physical barrier between the roots and the new container, which helps to reduce the risk of root damage during the transplant process. Additionally, the cubes help to keep the roots in place, which helps to prevent the plant from becoming uprooted during the transplant process.
