The application of rock wool in the horticulture field has advanced with the continuous development of soilless cultivation technology. Rock wool manufacturers in European and American countries such as Denmark, the United States, Poland, and the Netherlands are common. However, there are very few professional manufacturers of rock wool in China.
"We started in the 1990s and are one of the top rock wool providers in China," the representative from Shanghai ABM Rock Wool Dafeng Co., Ltd. shares. "UPuper® is our branch brand, specializing in producing hydroponic cultivation media for more than 20 years. The products cover a full range of rock wool growing media for indoor cannabis and greenhouse vegetables from seedling to harvest."
In April 2024, a high-tech smart greenhouse built by UPuper® was completed. The greenhouse, which required an investment of 700,000 US dollars, will play a core role in the UPuper® rock wool planting research and development test base. It covers an area of 1,170 square meters and adopts an all-steel structure design. The facility includes two main planting methods: trough cultivation and an ebb and flow system.
With this greenhouse, researchers will observe the changes in plant roots by accumulating a large amount of data from the planting process, analyze and understand the impact of the root system on the different growth stages of crops, accumulate planting experience, and help professional growers easily achieve high quality and high yield. At the same time, customer planting scenarios will be simulated to test product performance and provide customers with higher-quality rock wool media and more professional planting guidance.
"The cannabis market has higher requirements for the standardization, systematization, and regularization of the entire process of seedling cultivation, transplanting, and planting, as well as the stability, consistency, and efficiency of rock wool substrates", the team with UPuper® shares. "Therefore, the size of UPuper® products and the minimal performance differences between individual units facilitate unified management by cannabis growers, meeting the requirements for consistent plant growth during the cannabis cloning and planting stages."
They explain UPuper® rock wool substrate itself does not contain or absorb any nutrients, making it easy for growers to control the direction of planting and obtain higher economic benefits. "As the first factory in China to specialize in manufacturing rock wool substrates, UPuper® has a professional and standardized product quality inspection process and tests various product performances to ensure product quality. UPuper® products are already popular among cannabis growers."
In the future, UPuper® will continue to focus on its products and services. "We want to help growers better leverage their planting advantages and strive to become the preferred brand in the hearts of professional planting customers worldwide."
