growing water 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.
Uniform water content and electrical conductivity distribution throughout cubes. Grooves can facilitate water drainage and provide air pruning on root system. Rapid root system development.
1.Are there specific tools or accessories designed for working with growing water cubes, such as hole punches or plant supports?
Yes, there are several tools and accessories designed specifically for working with rockwool grow cubes. These include hole punches, plant supports, and trays for holding the cubes. Additionally, there are tools for cutting and shaping the cubes, as well as tools for transplanting seedlings from the cubes into larger containers.
2.How do you prevent the formation of algae or mold on the surface of growing water 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.
3.Can growing water cubes be reused, and what is the recommended cleaning and sterilization process for multiple growing cycles?
Yes, growing water 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 water cubes manufacturer, What about your package?
Export standard package. Cartons tested for compressive strength. Pallet packaging is also acceptable.
5.How are growing water cubes sterilized and prepared for safe use in plant cultivation?
growing water cubes are typically sterilized using a combination of heat and steam. The cubes are placed in a steam chamber and heated to a temperature of around 180°F (82°C) for a period of time. This process kills any bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that may be present in the cubes. After sterilization, the cubes are then soaked in a nutrient solution to prepare them for use in plant cultivation.
6.How are rockwool grow cubes used in horticulture and hydroponics?
Rockwool grow cubes are used in horticulture and hydroponics as a medium for growing plants. They are made from spun basalt rock and chalk, and are lightweight, sterile, and easy to use. The cubes provide an ideal environment for root growth, and can be used to start seeds, propagate cuttings, and grow plants from seedlings. They are also used to support hydroponic systems, as they can hold water and nutrients, and provide an ideal environment for root growth.
7.As a growing water 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.
8.What sizes and shapes do growing water cubes come in, and how do these variations affect their applications?
growing water cubes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, including cubes, slabs, and blocks. The size and shape of the cube will affect the application, as different sizes and shapes are better suited for different types of plants. For example, cubes are great for starting seeds, while slabs are better for larger plants. Blocks are ideal for hydroponic systems, as they provide more surface area for the roots to grow. The shape of the cube also affects the amount of air and water that can be held, which can be beneficial for certain types of plants.
9.Can growing water cubes be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process?
Yes, growing water 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.
10.About growing water 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.
11.Are growing water cubes compatible with automatic irrigation and nutrient delivery systems commonly used in hydroponics?
Yes, growing water cubes 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.
12.What is the expected lifespan of growing water cubes, and how do you determine when it's time to replace them?
The expected lifespan of growing water cubes is typically between 1-3 years, depending on the frequency of use and the quality of the cubes. To determine when it's time to replace them, look for signs of wear and tear such as discoloration, cracking, or crumbling. If the cubes are no longer providing adequate support for the roots of your plants, it's time to replace them.
13.How do you prepare growing water cubes for planting, and what pre-soaking or conditioning steps are recommended?
UPuper is centered on customers and always pay attention to customers' needs for growing water cubes products.We provide these suggestions: 1. Pre-soak the rockwool cubes in a nutrient solution for 15-20 minutes. This will help to ensure that the cubes are evenly saturated with water and nutrients. 2. Rinse the cubes with clean water to remove any excess nutrient solution. 3. Place the cubes in a tray or container and fill with water until the cubes are completely submerged. 4. Allow the cubes to soak for 24-48 hours. This will help to ensure that the cubes are fully hydrated and ready for planting. 5. Once the cubes are fully hydrated, drain off any excess water and plant your seeds or cuttings.
14.As a growing water 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).
