In this video, you'll learn how to add a HydraFiber tower to your substrate mix using a ribbon blender. It includes example measurements so you can determine the percentage of HydraFiber you want in your mix, and footage from real growers so you can see the process in action.

“Adding HydraFiber to our production has been seamless, especially with our larger containers.”

“Our basil crop finished five days earlier when we trialed in a blend with 30% HydraFiber Ultra 160WB in place of perlite. We’re working closely with their team now to make the full switch to HydraFiber by Fall 2020.”

“We were impressed, not only with its ability to retain water, but also its ability to have porosity at the same time, which almost seems like an oxymoron, but it definitely happens. HydraFiber holds water and doesn’t dry out as quickly, but at the same time, when it’s wet, it doesn’t turn into mud or mush.”

“The HydraFiber limits the fertilizer leach out and there’s much better color on material. We aren’t losing the fertilizer with watering anymore. That’s really what I’m seeing more than anything.”

"We are already using HydraFiber Ultra in our blends for indoor production, and decided to trial EZ Blend for outdoor production. Our Fall 2019 mum trial put EZ Blend side by side with a 30% Ultra 160WB blend. The plants performed very well in EZ Blend – we couldn’t see a difference."
