Plug Shape & 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.

  • Precise seed or clone placement.
  • Predrilled hole.
  • Greater plant stability.
  • Plug shape optimized for root growth and seamless transition.

Other rock wool growing media

  • Precut slit in other growing media decreases plant stability and makes plugs prone to breakage.
  • Square shape compresses media when transitioning into blocks.
  • Plug corners create variation in root growth.

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.

VidaWool with Hydro-Xtend Plug Transitioning

  • When ready to transition, just pick and place the VidaWool plugs.
  • VidaWool plugs are round for a perfect fit.

Other rock wool growing media

  • Other plugs require cutting or ripping before transitioning.
  • Square plugs not designed to fit into blocks.
  • Requires additional effort to force a square plug into a round hole, compressing surrounding wool and reducing uniformity of the growing media.

Store

VidaWool starter plugs do not need to be housed in a climate-controlled environment but should be kept dry until use. Store pallets no more than two high to avoid damage.

Saturate and condition

Saturate plugs by submerging for up to 15 minutes in a nutrient solution adjusted to a pH of 5.8–6.2.

Place seeds or clones

Using the pre-drilled hole as your guide, place seeds or clones into the holes to a depth of 3/4 to 1 inch. This will allow ample room for root growth.

Maintain moisture

To optimize growing conditions, water VidaWool starter plugs when the plugs look or feel dry (irrigation intervals vary based on the environmental conditions of the growing setup).

Graduate to blocks

When plants are ready, they can be efficiently transplanted to VidaWool blocks. The round shape of VidaWool plugs makes it easy. Just pick and place in the block.

Note: VidaWool starter plugs resist punctures and maintain handling integrity of 2.4 lbf when wet, but should still be handled with care.
