WHY VIDAWOOL®?
VidaWool® vs. Other Rock Wool Media
Plug Shape and Insertion Zone
VidaWool® plugs are circular for seamless transitioning to grow blocks and come predrilled for rapid, precise seed or clone placement. Other plugs are slit, weakening the plug’s structure, which can lead to breakage and material waste.
Plug Transitioning
Just pick–and place. That’s all it takes to transition a VidaWool® plug to a block. VidaWool® plugs are round for a perfect fit every time. Other growing media require labor-intensive cutting or scoring before transitioning. Don’t hassle with trying to force a square plug into a round hole. Switch to VidaWool®.
Water Dispersion and Nutrient Availability
VidaWool® is equipped with Hydro-Xtend™ water dispersion technology to evenly distribute water and nutrients throughout the plug, block or slab. Other growing media demonstrate uneven water and nutrient dispersion creating wet and dry zones which leads to uneven root zones.
UV-Protection Liner
VidaWool® blocks feature UV-resistant liners to reduce the proliferation of algae and conserve water. Other blocks are wrapped in single-ply, UV-penetrable material that allows light to penetrate, creating the ideal environment for algae growth.
Tight-Wrapped Slabs
VidaWool® slabs are tight wrapped to contain water and nutrients to the root zone. Other slabs are flow wrapped, leaving gaps for water to collect away from the root zone and requiring more water to saturate the slab.
Block Placement
VidaWool® slabs feature optional pre-cut liners for rapid and uniform block placement. Every second counts in today’s tight labor market. Other growing media require labor-intensive cutting or scoring before blocks can be placed, which can lead to uneven spacing, plant crowding and an unsightly appearance.
