Growfoam® plugs. A comparison of substrates for hydroponic growing.

Growfoam® plugs are foam-based substrates and an alternative solution with a multitude of eco-friendly benefits for hobbyists and commercial hydroponic growers.
You can learn more in a previous video here: • Growfoam® Sustainable ...
But how do they stack up to more common substrates?
In this video we cover the differences of Growfoam® to substrates that you may be more familiar such as hemp, peat plugs, stone wool and coco coir.
We take a look at how some substrates can introduce pests or pathogens into the farm.
We also look at considerations for:
Composting and sustainability
Plant performance
Logistics
Variations in form
Automation
