4 FlexiPlugs FlexiPlugs Give Young Plants a Stronger Start FlexiPlugs are created by blending the highest quality peat with other organics and a foam binder. The result is a stabilized propagation medium that promotes faster rooting for cuttings while providing the consistent moisture needed for seed germination. This optimal environment is a result of the Flexiplug s aeration and water retention capabilities. Our ph balanced plug also contains micronutrients and active biologicals so it has all the elements needed to promote healthy root growth and young plant vigor.

6 FlexiTrays FlexiTrays : The Optimal Growing Environment for Cuttings and Seeds FlexiTrays consist of stabilized plugs made of peat, other organics and a foam binder. The plugs consistent moisture control and optimal aeration reduce rooting times which means a faster crop turnaround for you. FlexiTrays provide a ready-to-use system that increases the efficiency of your greenhouse by allowing for earlier transplanting, better crop timing and full automation. Hydroponic and traditional greenhouse growers trust FlexiTrays for rooting cuttings and seed germination. The production process we use can fill most North American and European configurations. Grow-Tech can also work with you to develop a custom formula to meet the needs of specialty crops. FlexiTrays can be dibbled to foster the optimal environment for seed germination or to allow for maximum stem to soil contact for un-rooted cuttings. Grower Benefits Earlier & easier transplanting Faster rooting Optimal aeration Custom formulations ph balanced Uniformity in the greenhouse Higher water holding capacity Even dry down Kosher Certified 6

Trays come in Square, Hex and Round plug dimensions. Pre-cast dibbles can be specified for cuttings, seed or tissue culture requirements. In addition, our machines can fill trays in True 10x20, US Standard and most European formats. The FlexiLine tray filling method allows Grow-Tech to fill most trays in use today. Specialized formulations Grow-Tech offers standard formulations for Floriculture, Hydroponics and Forestry applications. Custom formulations and blends are available for all specialty crop applications. Call us to discuss your culture requirements and arrange for samples or a quote. info@grow-tech.com

8 Biostrate BioStrate : Grow-Tech s Biobased Growing Medium This lightweight biobased textile is designed for the hydroponic production of microgreens and salad greens. BioStrate absorbs and retains water while providing an optimal environment for dense healthy root development. The blend of biopolymers and natural fibers is designed to manage water efficiently for optimal growth in a variety of hydroponic systems. BioStrate is compostable*. However, it will maintain its structural integrity for the entire crop cycle and won t clog filters. Custom widths and pre-cut shapes are available. BioStrate Felt was developed in-house and is manufactured in Maine. Our design emphasizes all the qualities growers requested in a hydroponic medium: high performance, promotion of dense healthy roots and shoots, and ease of use. We took our product development one step further and had BioStrate Felt tested and certified both nationally and internationally for biobased content and compostability in an industrial setting. Grower Benefits Holds the optimal amount of water Roots are stabilized ph balanced Compostable* Ready to plant, no pretreatment required Custom widths available Lightweight Easy to use 8 *This product meets ASTM D6400 and is intended to be composted in a commercial composting facility operated in accordance with best management practices. These do not exist in many communities. Check locally to see if such a facility exists in your community. Not suitable for backyard composting.

9 Grow-Tech s FlexiLine Technology in a Turnkey System The FlexiLine production system, which manufactures FlexiTrays, is available for your greenhouse or manufacturing facility. The FlexiLine tray- filling system blends organic materials with Grow-Tech s foam binders. The result is a stabilized plug in each cell of the propagation tray. FlexiLine FlexiLine technology produces propagation trays that will increase the efficiency of your greenhouse by allowing for earlier transplanting, better crop timing and full automation. The plugs consistent moisture control and optimal aeration reduce rooting times which means a faster crop turnaround for you. Technical assistance is provided to guide you in optimizing the system for your crop and culture practice. You will have the freedom to use your media, your tray and your facility. Grow-Tech, in addition to providing a turnkey production line, will remotely perform diagnostics and maintenance repairs on your system. info@grow-tech.com

10 Specialty Products Specialty Products FlexiMix FlexiMats Grower Solutions FlexiMix is a peat based potting soil that is manufactured in a process similar to Grow-Tech s FlexiPlugs. The resulting rooting sponge is then shredded into a granular material. FlexiMix has high air filled porosity and a uniquely high water holding capacity. This means not only greater water retention but an aggregate structure that will not allow over watering. FlexiMix resists soil compaction longer than traditional mixes which makes it an excellent choice for urban plantings such as street trees and turf repair in high traffic areas. The FlexiMat is made from the same material as the FlexiPlug and has all the same attributes: uniformity, optimal aeration and water retention. This product is an excellent rooting medium and ideal for growing microgreens and specialty greens in both hydroponic systems and traditional greenhouses. The standard FlexiMat fits a 10 x 20 tray. However, a variety of thicknesses and dimensions are available. Grow-Tech has the capability and experience to research and develop products for specific applications. Our team can work with you to develop stabilized growing media with a formulation, size and shape to meet your needs.

11 Best practices when using Grow-Tech s Products FlexiPlugs & FlexiTrays Transplanting BioStrate Best Practices FlexiPlugs and FlexiTrays arrive premoistened. Add water only if needed. Moisten the felt with mist or a quick dip in a water bath. Let excess water drain. Mist seeds / water in cuttings. When watering a good indicator that the medium is fully saturated is when 10%-15% of the water drains out. Sprinkle seeds according to the seed seller s recommendation. BioStrate can support tightly packed seedlings. Watering requirements will change based on type of plant and the growing environment. Monitor as needed. FlexiPlugs have excellent water retention characteristics so be sure not to overwater. Place in germinating area for 48 hours or as conditions require. BioStrate performs best when moist. The amount of water will vary depending on the system used and the growing environment. Water should not rise above or pool on felt. info@grow-tech.com
