Grodan® Improved Gro Slab 12''
Grodan® Improved Gro Slab 12''
Advanced stone wool hydroponic growing medium construction to ensure consistent excellent results for cultivators in controlled indoor environments and commercial greenhouse settings.
The Grodan® Gro Slab line is made to allow for faster rooting in of plants, vigorous growth and greater yield by allowing improved operational efficiency.
Features
- Dimension W x H x L: 30.5cm x 7.6cm x 91.4cm / 12'' x 3'' x 36''.
- Cut plant holes as needed to pot up without disturbing plant roots and give plants appropriate space in hydroponic culture.
- Inert, neutral plant growing substrate made for precision agriculture.
- An engineered solution for growers seeking a reliable substrate that facilitates easy irrigation and fertilization and leaves nothing to chance throughout the cultivation period.
- Mono density composition.
- Specialized for cultivating medicinal crops.
Key Benefits
1. Retains sufficient water.
The Advanced Wetting Agent in the Grodan Improved Gro Slab line results in more uniform water distribution throughout the entire slab. The properties of Grodan Improved Gro Slabs enable a multi faceted irrigation strategy by allowing growers to vary the water volume within a safe range of between 55% and 78% (day level). The improved capillary action of Gro Slabs also ensures that moisture is retained more evenly throughout the entire slab.
The ability of Grodan Improved to distribute WC and EC evenly throughout the slab volume creates optimal steering capabilities. Growers have more control of the plant’s balance throughout the crop cycle, allowing plant steering with precise adjustments of the WC and EC in the root zone.
Stone wool fibres do not bind nutrients and do not require flushing at the start of the cultivation cycle. An initial targeted application of water and nutrients in the cultivation cycle enables sustainable water and fertilizer use. In combination with other management strategies and tools that enable precision growing, Grodan Improved Gro Slabs facilitate optimum crop steering for healthy plants and greater yields.
Rock Wool Characteristics
- Lightweight and easy to handle. At the same time, mineral wool products are structurally sound, sturdy and flexible.
- Water and nutrients will not bind to the stone wool fibres, meaning all the water and nutrients added to the slab are available for plant growth.
- Contains no pathogens or unwanted seeds due to the manufacturing process.
- Unique hydrophilic fibres that allow for rapid and even water distribution throughout the entire slab. This gives the slabs excellent buffer and resaturation capability.
- Homogenous growing medium, ideal for precise application of water and nutrients for consistent plant growth.
- Able to adapt to variable artificial climate conditions, as well as different nutrition and irrigation regimes, in order to promote optimum plant quality and growth.
