Uniform work protocol (recommended)
- Wetting: saturate the blocks evenly with tap water. Drain excess water.
- pH & EC (pro-tip): optional water pH 5.5-6.0; built-in light EC usually eliminates the need for supplemental fertilization in Week 1.
- Place: stab or sow in the 38 mm planting hole. Keep temperature/VP-D and light intensity appropriate to the crop.
- Manage moisture/oxygen: keep blocks moist, but avoid persistent saturation; this keeps pores of air available for roots.
- Scale up: transplant as soon as roots are visible – to larger blocks, pots or the final substrate/cultivation system.
Quality & performance
- Better rooting: fine, branched roots colonize the block quickly.
- Stable microclimate: fiber matrix retains water while ventilating for strong starter growth.
- Safe and comfortable: pleasant to handle, no skin irritation with normal use.
