VidaWool® Slabs

Brand: Vidawool

VidaWool Slabs

Slabs provide support for the remainder of the production cycle, giving your plants ample room to flourish. Plant spacing and placement are critical at this stage, when crowding can result in less-than-optimal crop development. VidaWool® slabs make it simple to quickly and accurately transplant blocks and keep plants developing all the way to harvest while minimizing the time and effort spent setting up the room.

Applications

VidaWool® slabs are ideal for cultivation enterprises looking for reliable, repeatable, and efficient growing media solutions that help them produce productive results throughout the growing process. VidaWool® starter plugs, blocks, and slabs are designed to work as a system, for a more confident transplantation process that reduces error and protects plants to optimize their growth and your productivity.

Features & Benefits

• Compressive strength: > 150 lbs/ft2 - VidaWool® slabs offers high compression support, to take on more loads from larger plants, bigger root systems, and more water. 
• Water holding capacity: 80–90% - Holds moisture and keeps it evenly distributed with Hydro-Xtend™ water dispersion technology.
• Recovery capacity: > 98% - Resiliency of the VidaWool slabs enables them to bounce back to their original size after being compressed and handled during the setup process.

User Guide

Performance of VidaWool® slabs has been verified by third-party researchers to help ensure you get reliable, repeatable results. Our technical team has prepared these best practices for getting the most from your VidaWool® slabs.

1. Store slabs - VidaWool® slabs 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. 
2. Saturate and condition - Place the slabs on the growing trays/benches without cutting any slits in the bottom.  Saturate the slab with a nutrient solution adjusted to 5.5–6.0 pH by spraying into the pre-cut block holes. Slabs should be soaked for at least 30 minutes but can be left soaking overnight if preferred.
3. Cut drainage slits - No more than 24 hours prior to planting, cut slits in the bottom of the slab to allow excess water and nutrient solution to drain out to prevent overwatering.
4. Transplant blocks - Using the pre-cut areas as your guide, move VidaWool® blocks directly onto VidaWool® slabs.
5. Let's grow - Use your desired fertigation system to deliver water and nutrients to the VidaWool® slab, and the Hydro-Xtend™ water dispersion technology will distribute it throughout the root zone to grow healthy plants.  VidaWool® slabs feature pre-cut
   areas for precise, efficient block placement — no cutting or guesswork required — and the process is repeatable for consistent results.
