Grodan Big Mama Soaking Saturate the Grodan Big Mama 8″x8″x8″ Blocks with pH 5.5-6.5 water when starting cuttings When transplanting, use the same strength nutrient solution to soak the new media as you were feeding the plant. If submerging the blocks to saturate, keep them submerged in the solution until bubbling stops Irrigation If using a drip irrigation system, use one drip stake per Grodan Big Mama 8″x8″x8″. Irrigate as needed to keep the block moist but not saturated. If using an ebb and flow system, irrigate when the Grodan Gro-Block is approximately half its fully saturated weight. If hand watering, keep the block moist but not full saturated. Do not over saturate the block after the initial soak as this can slow plant growth Transplanting Place a rooted cutting, grown in Grodan starter, into the hole of the Grodan Gro-Block Do not water for several days until the plant has rooted into the Grodan Gro-Block but do not allow the block to go completely dry If needed, lightly mist once per day to keep the top of the block moist Do not allow the block to sit in standing water Transplanting for Larger Plants For smaller short term crops, Grodan Gro-Blocks are all you need. To grow larger plants, you can transplant Gro-Blocks on to Grodan Slabs , Grodan loose media, or soil Prior to transplanting, make sure that the plant is well established with multiple roots appearing on the bottom of the Grodan Gro-Block When transplanting to a container or outdoor garden, make sure the new media is very wet at the time of initial transplant
