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.About plug and plant grow system,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.
2.Can plug and plant grow system be used in combination with traditional soil to improve aeration and drainage in potted plants?
Yes, plug and plant grow system 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.
3.About plug and plant grow system,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.
4.About plug and plant grow system,What is the minimum purchase?
The MOQ is one carton.
5.How do plug and plant grow system promote aeration in the root zone, and what benefits does this offer for plant health?
plug and plant grow system 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.
6.What types of fertilizers and nutrients are commonly used with plug and plant grow system?
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
7.Do plug and plant grow system have any insulating properties that benefit plant roots in extreme weather conditions?
Yes, plug and plant grow system do have insulating properties that can benefit plant roots in extreme weather conditions. The insulation helps to keep the root zone temperature more consistent, which can help protect the roots from extreme temperatures. Additionally, the insulation can help to retain moisture in the root zone, which can be beneficial in dry climates.
8.What is the composition and material of plug and plant grow system, and how do they compare to other growing mediums like soil or coco coir?
plug and plant grow system 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.Are there rockwool grow cube products specifically designed for vertical gardening or living walls?
Yes, there are rockwool grow cubes specifically designed for vertical gardening and living walls. These cubes are designed to provide optimal air and water retention, as well as support for the plants. They are available in various sizes and shapes to fit any vertical gardening or living wall setup.
10.Is it possible to get samples of the plug and plant grow system for you?
Yes, we can provide samples for your quality testing.
11.What are the common challenges or issues that growers may encounter when using plug and plant grow system, and how can they be mitigated?
UPuper is a professional plug and plant grow system 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.
