The FloraFlex 6"x6"x6" FloraWool Cube is a premium hydroponic growing medium made from molten basalt rock that’s spun into fluffy fibers (stonewool) and formed into a sturdy cube. This basalt fiber construction gives the cube an ideal air-to-water ratio – when fully saturated it holds roughly 80% nutrient solution and 20% air – which makes it nearly impossible to overwater while still keeping roots constantly nourished. The result is a healthy root zone that drives vigorous plant growth.
Key Features & Benefits:
Exceptional Water Retention & Drainage: Absorbs and holds nutrient solution while draining excess freely. Maintains an optimal 80/20 moisture-to-air ratio, reducing the risk of overwatering and promoting strong root development.
Superior Root Development: The open fiber structure allows for easy root penetration and expansion, resulting in faster growth and greater nutrient uptake.
Inert and pH-Neutral: Offers complete control over nutrient feeding with no chemical interference. Doesn’t lock out nutrients and doesn’t alter pH.
Sterile and Pest-Free: Manufactured at high temperatures to ensure a sterile, disease-free growing medium, ideal for a clean grow environment.
Excellent Structural Support: The 6"x6"x6" size supports large plants through all stages of growth. Pre-drilled hole for easy transplanting.
Hydroponic System Compatibility: Perfect for use in ebb-and-flow, drip irrigation, Dutch buckets, flood tables, and run-to-waste systems.
Ideal for Cannabis Cultivation: Rockwool is a top choice for cannabis due to its oxygenation, moisture retention, and consistent performance during both veg and flower.
Ready to Use: Simply soak in pH-adjusted water or nutrient solution, insert your seed or clone, and grow.
Reusable and Sustainable: Can be sterilized for reuse or broken down and added to soil mixes for aeration.
10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I prepare the FloraWool cubes before use?
Soak each cube in pH-adjusted water (around 5.5) for 30 minutes before planting. Let it drain so it's moist but not dripping wet.
2. Should I remove the plastic wrapping?
No, leave the plastic wrap on during use. It helps retain moisture and shape. Only uncover the top hole if needed.
3. Can I plant directly into these cubes?
Yes. You can sow seeds, place clones, or transplant starter plugs directly into the pre-formed hole.
4. What hydroponic systems can I use these in?
Compatible with ebb-and-flow, top-feed drip, Dutch buckets, DWC (with net pot support), and more.
5. Can I reuse these cubes?
Yes, if sterilized properly between crops. Remove root debris and soak in a disinfecting solution before reusing.
6. How often should I water?
Depends on plant size and environment. Once daily in early veg, increasing to 2–3 times per day in flower is common.
7. Do these contain nutrients?
No, they’re inert. You must provide nutrients through a feeding solution immediately after transplant.
8. What is FloraWool made from?
Basalt rock and chalk, melted and spun into fibers, forming a stable, natural growing medium.
9. Are they good for cannabis?
Yes. These cubes offer ideal root zone conditions, making them one of the best options for cannabis cultivation.
10. Are there any safety concerns?
When dry, the fibers may irritate skin or lungs. Wear gloves and a mask when handling. Once wet, the irritation risk is minimal.
