How to Use VIDAWOOL BLOCK 256

To maximize the benefits of VIDAWOOL BLOCK 256, proper preparation and handling are essential.

Prepping the Rockwool Blocks:

1. Soak Before Use – Submerge the blocks in pH-balanced water (5.5-6.0) for 10-15 minutes to ensure proper hydration.
2. Drain Excess Water – Allow the blocks to drain fully to avoid waterlogging and promote oxygen flow.
3. Planting or Seeding – Insert seeds, seedlings, or cuttings into the pre-formed holes in the block.
4. Place in Grow System – Position the block in hydroponic trays, flood tables, or greenhouse beds for optimal plant development.
5. Monitor & Adjust Nutrients – Use a balanced nutrient solution and adjust pH levels as needed to maintain plant health.

Transplanting & Maintenance:

• Once plants outgrow the VIDAWOOL BLOCK 256, they can be transplanted into larger rockwool slabs, pots, or hydroponic setups.
• Maintain consistent moisture levels while avoiding oversaturation.
• Regularly check pH and EC levels to ensure optimal nutrient uptake and root health.
