Redrock 6 inch Grow Block ProStonewool is a material in the commercial horticulture industry that has truly lasted the test of time. This material is one of the most popular grow medias for hydroponics and has uses in traditional operations as well. Stonewool started as an insulator in the construction industry, but after exploratory research and testing in the mid-1970’s, it was found to be an excellent growing media with slight modifications. Stonewool has many applications from the germination of seeds, mature plant growth, cloning, and everything in between. Generally speaking, plants are found to be overall, happier and healthier when grown hydroponically in stonewool.

Starter Plugs: Starter plugs are usually defined as smaller chunks or pieces of stone wool that are perfect for starting or germinating seeds. A starter plug is usually a small piece of compacted moss, stonewool, coco coir, or other type of growing media. Once a plant is mature enough to be transplanted or ‘block up’ a grower easily transfer the stonewool into larger blocks or slabs. This ability to directly transplant the entire plug reduces transplanting stress and reduces the risk of breakage of precious roots.
