Time for new rock wool!

We want to start every cultivation as clean as possible. For example, we also use new rock wool slabs for every new crop in the breeding departments. We do this to minimize the transfer of any viruses or pests to a new crop. Grodan produces the GT Master Dry for us. With the double-layered structure there are many advantages for optimal control, uniform root distribution and the pre-formed planting holes allow easy planting. The preformed planting holes are specially made for our planting distances. This allows us to make optimal use of the spaces in the various departments and all plants are at exactly the same distances.
