Advanced Nutrient & Crop Steering Techniques in Stone Wool Cultivation

Advanced Nutrient & Crop Steering Techniques in Stone Wool Cultivation

Stone wool has become the preferred substrate for precision cultivation, offering growers unparalleled control over water, nutrients, and oxygen availability at the root zone. As controlled environment agriculture (CEA) advances, one of the most impactful strategies growers can adopt is crop steering. That is a data-driven approach to adjusting environmental and nutritional inputs to guide plant development toward desired outcomes. Whether targeting higher biomass, increased yield, or enhanced quality (such as flavor or cannabinoid concentration), crop steering techniques can transform results in both medicinal and food crop production.

Stone Wool Saturation: Why it is Important and How to do it Right

Similarly to other growing media, when stone wool is delivered it is dry, meaning, it contains 0% water. In comparison to other substrates, stone wool has many advantages, such as lighter weight, a great moisture holding capacity, more convenient transportation, and longer shelf-life for unused products. Therefore, when a grower plans to start the cultivation of cannabis, the first step (and a very critical one) is to initially saturate the stone wool.
