Commercial Hydroponics

Stonewool Grow Media in Commercial and Industrial Hydroponic Operations

Large-scale hydroponic operations require a fast-paced, sturdy, and consistent grow environment.  These types of operations can be a challenge to the unprepared professional. Compared to the smaller scale operations, inputs are greater as well as the risk. Attention to heating and cooling, air circulation, pest control, employee comfort and health, temperature, irrigation, and other key environment factors ensures that crops are grown with minimal stress. High stress environments negatively impact a plant’s growth and will result in lowered quality and yields. Incorporation of automation greatly aids a large scale operation allowing for precision control over the growing area, while allowing the grower to focus on other matters. Planning and preparation is just as important as growing the crops. Attention to current and future goals and plant needs will allow for a smooth growing season for any operation. Having the correct facilities, equipment, and materials for growing crops is essential in a successful growing season. The usage of professional stonewool blocks in commercial hydroponics helps a grower create the stable growing environment needed.
