SUPPORT YOUR PLANTS THROUGH THEIR LIFECYCLE
Seeding
Stonewool propagation cubes and starter plugs are an irreplaceable medium for any commercial growers setup. Stonewool grow media properties help the development of a healthy root system.
Vegetation
The stone wool fiber structure ensures excellent water and plant nutrient retention and will help create a stable growing environment for the plants and crops.
Flowering and ripening
Stonewool grow media accommodates root growth which will lead to a larger plant capable of making more robust flowers.
Commercial Greenhouses
Large-scale commercial greenhouse operations can be a challenge to the unprepared professional. Compared to the smaller scale operations, inputs are greater as well as the risk. Attention to heating and cooling, air circulation, pest control, employee comfort and health, temperature, irrigation, and other key environment factors ensures that crops are grown with minimal stress.
Commercial Hydroponics
The usage of stoneblocks in commercial hydroponics helps you create the stable growing environment needed. Large-scale hydroponic operations require a fast-paced, sturdy environment.
Indoor Farms
Indoor farming has many benefits with full control over a growing area. Stonewool grow blocks are a popular growing medium for indoor farming, thanks to their soiless benefits and allow for presize application of nutrients.
Propagation & Nurseries
Propogation is a very delicate time of growth for a plant. Stonewool propagation cubes and starter blocks offer the perfect environment for healthy development of root systems for plants to start off on the right root.
Floriculture
Floriculture is not necessarily an industry for food production, but rather for the beautification of the world. This industry requires many of the same elements of control, with some additional areas of specialization. A commercial operation will need to have in place materials and equipment ideal for all stages of growth for the entire growing season from lighting, heating and cooling, HVAC, media, pathogen control, and other factors depending on the crop being grown and its individual needs. Additionally, depending on the type of operation many need to incorporate storage rooms, coolers, and additional equipment for the handling of fresh florals for the cut flower industry.
Cannabis
In this growing industry, stonewool is the go to solution to get the right ,yields, concentrations, and excellent budding through. Similar to hemp, the commercial production of cannabis is new to the scene with many states setting up the industry as legal. When setting up a new facility or making a transition from an older facility, planning will need to be conducted to determine the type of operation and the needed materials. Cannabis plants are larger in nature along the same lines as tomato production. With the larger plants and the more space required, attention to heating and cooling, HVAC, and temperature is essential to reduce plant stress.
Hemp
New to the scene of the commercial greenhouse industry is the production of hemp. This is different from the production of cannabis, as the focus is not on HTC, but rather the fibers for the production of materials like clothes. When setting up a new facility or making a transition from an older facility, planning will need to be conducted to determine the type of operation and the needed materials. Hemp plants are larger in nature along the same lines as tomato production. With the larger plants and the more space required, attention to heating and cooling, HVAC, and temperature is essential to reduce plant stress.
Fruit & Vegetable
In the fruit and vegetable industry, the plants are larger and are typically housed longer than other operations. With the main goal instead of vegetative growth being a secondary product (a vegetable or fruit), an operation needs to be prepared for longer growing seasons. A commercial operation will need to have in place materials and equipment ideal for all stages of growth for the entire growing season from lighting, heating and cooling, HVAC, media, pathogen control, and other factors depending on the crop being grown and its individual needs.
