Aquos™ Slabs

Hydroponic Slabs

 Aquos™ Slabs are used for the following crops:

· Tomatoes

· Cucumbers

· Peppers

· Cut Flower Products

Hydroponic Vegetable Production

Advantages

· Sleeved with white sleeving for maximum light reflection to plants which increases growth and yields

· Aquos™ cubes have germinated some seeds earlier

· Even water distribution from top to bottom

· Excellent water to air ratios

· Excellent root penetration

· Excellent drainage and water movement

· No Cation Exchange (CEC), reducing salt build up

· Aquos™ Slabs can be steamed

· Aquos™ will maintain its properties through long crop productions

Planting in Aquos™ Slabs

1.      Predetermine the layout and place the Aquos™ slabs within the layout. Place the    seam of the slab facedown.

2.      Use a specialized hole-cutting device or a sharp knife to cut holes in the polyethylene sleeve.

3.      Slabs must be fully saturated before plants can be placed on the slabs

NOTE: Aquos™ has no cation exchange (CEC) which allows growers to have more control over crop growth and nutrient delivery which is excellent for hydroponics production.  Aquos™ retains water so watering cycles may (will) need to be adjusted.

 Follow normal procedures for checking EC and pH when planting crops under specific climate conditions grown.

pH Balancing of Aquos™
pH in Aquos™ cubes should be 6.2. A pH of about 5.7 in the reservoir should help to maintain this level. Check cubes randomly to ensure consistency.
