Grow Cubes 1.5″ Hemp Cubes
These cubes give you a great opportunity to try a sustainable hemp fiber cube for both seed-starting and hydroponic growing.
Benefits of using hemp fiber for growing:
Biodegradable and Sustainable: Hemp fiber is a renewable resource that decomposes naturally over time, making it environmentally friendly.
Excellent Water Retention: Hemp fiber has good water retention properties, helping to keep seeds and seedlings consistently moist without becoming waterlogged, which can lead to root rot.
Good Aeration: The structure of hemp fiber cubes allows for adequate air circulation around the roots, preventing them from becoming overly saturated and promoting healthy root development.
pH Neutral: Hemp fiber typically has a neutral pH, which is beneficial for most plants and allows for optimal nutrient uptake.
Reduced Transplant Shock: When it’s time to transplant seedlings, the hemp fiber cubes can be planted directly into the soil or hydroponic system without disturbing the roots. This reduces transplant shock and helps seedlings establish themselves more quickly in their new environment.
Less Risk of Disease: Hemp fiber has natural antimicrobial properties that can help reduce the risk of diseases that may affect seedlings.
Overall, using hemp fiber growing cubes for seed starting can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious growing practice while also providing optimal conditions for seed germination and seedling growth.
