Use & cultivation advice
- Preparation: completely wet the block with tap water until evenly saturated. Thanks to the Ecose® binding, a light EC level is present; no nutrition is usually needed for the first week.
- pH tip (optional): Many growers use water with pH 5.5-6.0 for seedlings/cuttings. This is not a must, but can optimize the start.
- Planting: place seed or cutting in the 28 mm planting hole; provide light and heat appropriate to the crop.
- Moisten: keep the block moist but not soaking wet; ensure adequate air exchange around the root area.
- Advance & transplant: once roots are visible at the edges/bottom, move to a larger substrate or growing system.
Compatibility: excellent to combine with hydroponics, recirculation systems, drip irrigation and potting soil/coco as a follow-up step.
