Gro-Blocks are 6 inch x 6 inch x 5.8 inch
Grodan partnered with the Wageningen University and Research Facility and top growers from all over North America to determine the optimal stone wool substrate and irrigation strategies for indoor and greenhouse speciality crops. The result of this scientific rigor is Grodan Gro-Blocks Improved with our Advanced Wetting Agent. These leading edge blocks have the optimal fiber structure and physical properties for crop uniformity, more even Water Content (WC) and Electrical Conductivity (EC) distribution throughout the entire block, and the greatest steering capabilities available. Water distribution is more uniform throughout the entire block which is the basis for a well-defined root system with higher capacities for water and nutrient uptake to produce robust and vigorous crops. These benefits translate to higher yields, improved quality, less water and nutrient usage, and reduced sensitivity of the crop to diseases.
Key Features
New and improved wetting agent and hydrophilic technology greatly enhances the water characteristics of Grodan Gro-Blocks Improved giving even better water distribution over the height of the block. This results in greater plant development and steerability and more efficient use of water and nutrients.
Optimized wool structure allows for faster rooting-in and nutrient solution replenishment, all while the Gro-Block Improved maintains its structure, firmness, and rigidity throughout the growing process.
