Know before you buy
The full wrap serves as a protective barrier that shields the root system from direct light exposure and potential contaminants. This helps maintain a cleaner, more stable environment for your plants to thrive.
Yes, the Grodan UNI-SLAB is engineered for versatility and is compatible with both top drip and flood irrigation systems.
The UNI-SLAB is designed to bridge the gap between a traditional slab and a block. It offers the stability of a slab while providing the maneuverability and spacing flexibility of an individual block, making it easier to adjust as your plants grow.
As with most rockwool products, you should ensure the slabs are properly hydrated and pH-balanced to your specific nutrient regimen before introducing your plants.
These slabs are designed for high moisture retention. If you are growing plants that require a drier root zone, you may need to adjust your irrigation frequency accordingly to prevent over-saturation.
