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. FlexiPlugs are an ideal growing medium for traditional greenhouse and hydroponic growers. Plugs remain stable in hydroponic production and won t clog filters.

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. Commercial 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.

10 Specialty Products Specialty Products FlexiMix FlexiMix is a peat based potting soil amendment 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 guard against 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. Grower Solutions 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 BioStrate Best Practices FlexiPlugs and FlexiTrays arrive pre-moistened. 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. Plugs should be moist to the touch, not wet. 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. Before transplanting out of trays, dry plugs down for easy removal. Sprinkle seeds according to the seed seller s recommendation. BioStrate can support tightly packed seedlings. Mist to moisten seeds. Place in germinating area with 90% humidity for 48 hours or as conditions require. BioStrate performs best when moist, not saturated. The amount of water will vary depending on the system used and the growing environment. A timed intermittent flow of water is best. Water should not rise above or pool on felt. info@grow-tech.com
