hydroponics rockwool starter cubes have a strong ability of water saving and fertilizer retention. It provides an excellent growth environment for crop roots. The internal three-dimensional network fiber structure makes the nutrient distribution more evenly, which is conducive to the roots extension and growth. A developed root system is the precondition of high yield and excellent fruit quality. UPuper® Rock wool has firm structure and is not easy to deform without scattering, so It will not cause any damage to crops root while transplanting, the survival rate will increase, which is also helpful to grow large seedlings. It can help to realize the time to market in advance or later seasons to bring higher yield, quality and economic benefits.
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.What are the common challenges or issues that growers may encounter when using hydroponics rockwool starter cubes, and how can they be mitigated?
UPuper is a professional hydroponics rockwool starter 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 hydroponics rockwool starter cubes,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.
3.As a hydroponics rockwool starter cubes manufacturer, How to ship the goods to the customer?

4.About hydroponics rockwool starter cubes,How to calculate the irrigation amount of nutrient solution?
In case of tomatoes, from planting to flowering: the irrigation amount is about 300-500ml / plant / day; From flowering stage to early fruiting stage: the irrigation amount is about 800-1200ml / plant / day; From early fruiting to harvest period: the irrigation amount is 1200-1500ml / plant / day, and the irrigation amount in full fruit period is about 1500-2000ml / plant / day. You can also bring out a rough calculation according to the shape and size of rock wool.
5.How do you prepare hydroponics rockwool starter cubes for planting, and what pre-soaking or conditioning steps are recommended?

Composting the cubes will help to reduce the environmental impact by returning the materials to the soil.
7.As a hydroponics rockwool starter cubes manufacturer, What about your package?
Export standard package. Cartons tested for compressive strength. Pallet packaging is also acceptable.
8.What applications can hydroponics rockwool starter cubes be used for?
hydroponics rockwool starter cubes can be used for a variety of applications, including hydroponic gardening, seed starting, cloning, and propagation. They are also commonly used in aeroponic systems, as well as for growing mushrooms.
9.About hydroponics rockwool starter cubes,What is the minimum purchase?
The MOQ is one carton.
10.How do you monitor and maintain proper moisture levels within hydroponics rockwool starter cubes throughout the plant's growth cycle?
UPuper has many years of experience in this industry and can share with you these: 1. Monitor the moisture levels of the rockwool cubes regularly. Use a moisture meter to measure the moisture content of the cubes. 2. Adjust the watering schedule accordingly. If the cubes are too dry, water more frequently. If the cubes are too wet, water less frequently. 3. Use a humidity dome or tray to help maintain proper moisture levels. 4. Consider using a hydroponic system to provide a more consistent moisture level. 5. Add a layer of perlite or vermiculite to the top of the rockwool cubes to help retain moisture. 6. Consider using a fan to help circulate air and reduce humidity.
11.As a hydroponics rockwool starter 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.
