The fibre structure spreads water evenly through the slab and holds a stable saturation level, so every dripper position behaves the same way. Two lengths are available: the \u003cstrong\u003e1.0m slab at 1000 x 150 x 75mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e1.33m slab at 1330 x 150 x 75mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both suit larger plants with substantial root systems and slot straight into standard slab trays and channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniform saturation\u003c\/strong\u003e - water spreads evenly through the slab rather than channelling to one end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced air-to-water ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e - excess solution drains away while the slab holds working moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo lengths\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1000mm and 1330mm slabs, both 150mm wide and 75mm deep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade for drip feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e - designed around frequent, measured irrigations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports big root systems\u003c\/strong\u003e - the volume and structure suit large, heavy-feeding plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficient nutrient use\u003c\/strong\u003e - even distribution means less solution wasted to runoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Uneven Moisture Costs You Yield\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a slab system every plant is fed the same, so any variation you see on the bench usually comes from the medium rather than the schedule. Dry pockets stall roots at one end of a slab while saturated zones starve them of oxygen at the other, and the crop finishes ragged. A slab that wets evenly and drains predictably removes that variable, which is why growers chasing uniform results pay attention to fibre structure rather than just slab size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the slabs into your trays or channels and level them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak thoroughly with pH-adjusted nutrient solution and allow to drain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut planting holes in the top wrap and set your blocks in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition drippers so each plant site is irrigated evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor runoff volume and EC to dial in irrigation frequency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRockwool grow slab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCultilene rockwool fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize — 1m Slab\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000 x 150 x 75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize — 1.33m Slab\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1330 x 150 x 75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydroponic and drip irrigation systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge root systems and long crops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cultiwool","offers":[{"title":"1m Slab","offer_id":53446965756170,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.33m Slab","offer_id":53446965788938,"sku":null,"price":5.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/Cultiwool_Slab_100x15x7.5.jpg?v=1785325166","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/cultiwool-x-fibre-rockwool-slabs","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
