Soil is not Nature's only option for growing plants!
Depending on
the plants you grow, there are several options to choose from, including
hydroponics (water), manmade materials, and some other natural materials. For
indoor and outdoor gardening.
Using a strictly controlled mix of buffered coir fiber, blended with coarse fibers of pure Canadian sphagnum peat, Power PLUGZ offer the perfect air to water ratio promoting vigorous root development.
Cocogro coir fiber has ample space within the mix for roots to develop and provides excellent drainage properties. AND Cocogro is NOT chemically treated! It's aged a minimum of 18 months and has completed its decomposition stage. Cocogro is exposed to rain water from at least three monsoon seasons, which naturally washes away harmful potassium and salts out of the final product.
Coir fiber is gaining popularity in the hydroponics market because it contains a natural source of rooting hormones, plus it helps protect against root disease. Coir fiber also provides optimal air-to-water ratio for stronger plants. Its bio-degradable and easy-to-use.
Made by American Agritech, Botanicare's Cocogro Brick offers a premium 100% organic coir fiber. The 3/4" long fibers are double-sieved to reduce dust and Cocogro can be used over a longer period of time than coir fiber with shorter fibers.
Containing high levels of rooting compounds (naturally found in the coconut hulls used to create CocoTek), you'll notice increased root mass and overall plant health. Coconut fiber also offers some protection against root diseases including fungus infestation.
CubeCaps block the light from your growing medium, which algae needs to survive. It's unique shape also promotes airflow around the top of the growing medium allowing moisture to evaporate in the top layers.
Made from fossilized diatoms, Dyna-Rok II is a natural source of silica and other beneficial minerals. It's hold as much as 150% of its weight in water or nutrient solution!
It's packed with beneficial microbes to stimulate root growth and enhance water and fertilizer uptake. There's also humic acid to improve seed germination, and earthworm castings for overal plant health.
It's even pH balanced to make sure that your plants can take up the nutrients they need. Original Planting Mix helps hold moisture in the soil, which keeps plants hydrated and growing.
It's designed with shorter cells so the plugs rise slightly above the tray for easy removal when it's time to transplant your plant clone or seedling. Helps decrease the risk of root damage.
Each A-OK Starter Plug has a pre-formed hole to insure easy seed or plant cutting placement. The V-shape design of this plug discourages tangling between the plugs, so roots are less prone to be damaged when you separate them for transplanting.
Grodan stonewool is pH neutral, making it easy to maintain the ideal gardening pH value of 5.5 - 6.5. Grodan Blocks have grooved base which promotes drainage to avoid root rot. Each block is wrapped in white plastic on all four sides for easy handling and to help maintain its shape.
Grodan stonewool is pH neutral, making it easy to maintain the ideal pH values between 5.5 - 6.5. These pH levels are essential for optimum plant development and substrate integrity.
They can be used for direct planting or "potting up" of plants started with Grodan Macroplugs or A-OK plugs. When your seedlings have a couple of small leaves and the roots emerge from your Macroplugs or A-OK plugs, soak the the Gro-Block in pH5.5 water overnight and insert the starter plugs in the holes the next day. Hold off watering for 1 to 2 days to prompt the roots to expand quickly into the Delta Gro-Block.
The advantage of Mini-blocks is that they can independently sit in a tray without any support, plus they keep their shape! Each block is wrapped in white plastic on all sides for individual use.
Rapid Rooter plugs are all natural soilless organic grow plugs that are made from composted tree bark and other organic materials. They're fortified with micro nutrients for abundant root growth and provide optimal air-to-water ratio for explosive root growth.
It is virtually impossible to over water plants with ReadyGro Aeration. Your plants can sit in ReadyGro with 1 to 2 inches of water and, through the process of capillary feeding, hydrate and feed as needed!
Suitable for either plant cuttings or seed germination, these starter cubes are ideal for hydroponic gardening. Once young plants are established, you can easily transplant the Root Riot plugs into soil or any other growing medium.
The base is made from the highest quality coco fiber/Coir which is repeatedly washed for an incredibly low EC. Its then composted for over twenty-four months.
A good choice for starting your seedlings or plant cuttings. Once your plants are established, simply transplant the entire peat pot outdoors or into a larger indoors container.

Sunleaves gives you 40 Block Covers per package so you'll have plenty to go around. These versatile rockwool / stonewool covers are white on one side, and black on the other.
