Overview

The Grodan Hugo 6" blocks are an excellent choice for single plant cycles, providing ample space for root growth. The blocks feature an approximately 1.5-inch hole, perfect for accommodating most peat plugs.

Key Benefits:

• Large enough for most single plant cycles
• Ideal for deep Ebb & Flood tables or passive pot culture
• Provides ample room for root development

Product Details:

• Block Size: 6” (approximately 150mm)
• Hole Size: Approximately 1.5” (suitable for most peat plugs)

Usage Instructions:

1. Initial Saturation:
   • Saturate the rockwool cube with pH-adjusted water (pH 5.5-6.5) when starting cuttings.
2. Transplanting:
   • Ensure the nutrient solution used to soak the new media matches the strength of the existing solution to avoid transplant shock.
3. Submerging:
   • If submerging the cubes, hold them underwater until bubbling stops to ensure thorough saturation.

Monitoring Root Growth:

• Depending on the plant, monitor root growth and be prepared to transplant to a larger pot if roots extend 1 inch or more from the bottom of the Hugo block.

Applications:

• Deep Ebb & Flood Tables: Suitable for hydroponic systems where the growing medium is periodically flooded and drained.
• Passive Pot Culture: Ideal for setups where the plants rely on capillary action to draw up nutrients.

Top Tips:

• pH Adjustment: Always ensure the water used for initial saturation and subsequent watering is within the pH range of 5.5-6.5.
• Consistent Nutrient Strength: Maintain the same strength of nutrient solution when soaking new media to prevent plant stress.
• Thorough Saturation: Fully submerge the cubes until bubbling ceases to ensure complete saturation, which helps in optimal root development.

Grodan Hugo 6" blocks provide a robust growing medium for single plant cycles, supporting healthy root development and compatibility with various hydroponic systems. By following the usage instructions and top tips, growers can maximize the potential of their plants in these high-quality rockwool blocks.
