Cultiwool (Stonewool)

Cultilene is a genuine propagation specialist: from the melting of the basalt, until the transformation to germination plugs or growing blocks, everything takes place under close supervision. Doing so gives us the opportunity to control the entire chain, and that makes our products more uniform, firmer and more productive.

Cultilene offers a much extended product range of propagation products, but is also equipped and willing to produce tailor-made products.

Why Culti Wool Blocks?

• Superb air to water ratio
• A fiber structure that holds water longer
• Less resistance for the roots to grow in the block, resulting in better roots for "fragile" crops
• A fiber structure that enhances faster initial rooting
• All products are uniform and comparable with each other
• Guaranteed firmness

Cultiwool is a high quality, clean and inert stone wool. Therefore, it provides a sterile environment and does not contain any harmful bacteria or pollutants which can affect root- and shoot development. It does not lock up or release any substances, ensuring all water and nutrients are available to the plant.

Uniformity
A homogeneous stone wool product is essential for unrestricted and regular root growth. Cultiwool stonewool produced in Europe is the highest quality stonewool in the market for hydroponic systems. Stonewool used in Cultiwool is certified by RHP. Therefor Cultiwool offers maximum uniformity to optimally control water and nutrient application. The result is a uniform crop that will result in higher yields, better quality, and less energy usage.

Fast uptake of water
Reliable initial saturation is key to avoid dry spots in the substrate. Dry spots will create salt build up which results in an unbalanced block and should be avoided at all times. Cultiwool substrates have a faster and easier water uptake due to the high quality of stonewool. This explains why stonewool used in Cultiwool is the only stonewool board in the highest category of RHP related to initial wetting-up.

Total control
Water, EC and pH distribution can be very well controlled with Cultiwool rock wool substrates, both vegetative and generative, depending on the needs of the crop and at different moments during the cultivation.
