WHY VIDAWOOL?
VidaWool vs. Other Rock Wool Media
What's the Difference?
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.
VidaWool with Hydro-Xtend Water Dispersion and Nutrient Availability
- No dry zones
- Water and nutrients evenly dispersed
- Even root zone.
Other rock wool growing media
- Uneven water dispersion and nutrient availability.
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.
VidaWool with Hydro-Xtend UV-protection Liner
- UV-resistant liner to protect root health.
Other rock wool growing media
- Light penetration can promote growth of algae and bacteria, leading to root rot.
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.
Other rock wool growing media
- Precise seed or clone placement.
- Predrilled hole.
- Greater plant stability.
- Plug shape optimized for root growth and seamless transition.
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.
