The growing medium plays a crucial role in the cultivation of your plants. The balance between air, moisture and stability largely determines the success of the rooting phase and ultimately the quality of your plant. As a grower, you are looking for the perfect substrate for your crop. You are also looking for the right substrate density. At low substrate densities, the root ball can easily fall apart. This is where a substrate net comes in. With a substrate net such as Growcoon, the substrate no longer needs to “stick” together, as the net immediately forms a plug. This innovative, biodegradable plug holder is suitable for any type of substrate and offers you maximum freedom in your choice of growing media.
An important advantage of Growcoon is the versatility of the substrate holder. Whereas many cultivation systems are limited to one specific growing medium, Growcoon is suitable for use with different types of substrate. These include coconut substrate, peat, peat substitutes, compost mixtures, wood fibre, or other sustainable substrates.
So, do you want to grow on a more sustainable growing medium and/or get more out of your crop? Then Growcoon is a great addition to your growing process!
In addition to having the freedom to choose the type of growing medium, you can also determine the substrate density yourself. By adjusting this density, you can ensure better absorption of water and nutrients, but you can also influence root development.
A less densely filled Growcoon provides extra oxygen around the roots, allowing the plant roots to grow unhindered. A more compactly filled Growcoon offers a little more stability in the early stages of cultivation. Depending on the needs of the crop, you can fill the Growcoon with substrate loosely or more compactly. This flexibility makes Growcoon a smart plug tray holder for propagation in a variety of cultivation systems, whether you have a fully automated process or process your plugs manually.
Growcoon acts as a supporting structure around the substrate. Thanks to its open, net-like structure, roots can easily grow through the Growcoon and then continue to develop outside the net. The growing medium used stays firmly in place, while water and nutrients can be absorbed effectively. This results in:
More people are switching to sustainable (often looser) substrates and circular cultivation methods. Growcoon fits in perfectly with this trend. It binds the root ball, is biodegradable and leaves no residue behind, either in the water (in hydroponics) or in the soil. Nothing remains of the net except water and CO2. Growcoon thus contributes to future-proof cultivation.
Whether you use traditional substrates or mixtures of growing media, Growcoon supports the growth of your crop. You retain complete control over your growing medium and, indirectly, your plant quality. With Growcoon, you always create the best conditions for your crop!
It’s impossible to get a result without a good substrate, which is why Growcoon and Klasmann-Deilmann have joined forces. Klasmann-Deilmann is the market leader in substrates, so its experts know exactly what your crop needs. They work with you to maximise yields from your cultivation. When you decide to switch to the Growcoon, they can help you on your way.
