rockwool cubes 3x3 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.
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.What types of crops or plants are best suited for cultivation in rockwool cubes 3x3, and are there any limitations?
rockwool cubes 3x3 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.
2.As a rockwool cubes 3x3 manufacturer, What's the lead time?
About 10-15(normally) days for a 40HQ container.
3.How do rockwool cubes 3x3 help prevent overwatering or waterlogged conditions in plant root systems?
rockwool cubes 3x3 are made of a porous material that helps to regulate the amount of water that is available to the plant roots. The material is designed to absorb and retain water, while also allowing excess water to drain away. This helps to prevent overwatering and waterlogged conditions in the root system, as the plant is able to take up only the amount of water it needs.
4.What are the disposal and recycling options for used rockwool cubes 3x3, and are they environmentally responsible?
rockwool cubes 3x3 are made from a combination of basalt and slag, which are both non-toxic and non-hazardous materials. The best way to dispose of used rockwool grow cubes is to recycle them. Many local recycling centers accept rockwool grow cubes for recycling. Alternatively, you can contact your local waste management company to see if they offer a special collection service for rockwool grow cubes. Recycling rockwool grow cubes is an environmentally responsible option as it reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfills. Additionally, recycling rockwool grow cubes helps conserve resources and reduce the amount of energy needed to produce new materials.
5.Are rockwool cubes 3x3 pH-neutral, and do they require any adjustments before use?
rockwool cubes 3x3 are generally pH-neutral and do not require any adjustments before use. However, it is recommended to check the pH of the cubes before use to ensure they are at the desired level.
6.Can rockwool cubes 3x3 be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process?
Yes, rockwool cubes 3x3 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.
7.About rockwool cubes 3x3,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.
8.About rockwool cubes 3x3,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.
9.As a rockwool cubes 3x3 manufacturer,UPuper® Rock wool recycling service
