BioStrate is Water Efficient

BioStrate performs best when not overwatered, so make sure it remains moist to the touch – and do not let it dry out. If water begins to pool on the fabric, reduce your water flow.

Remember that the amount of water your plants need and the time it takes them to germinate will vary depending on what you’re growing and what type of growing system you’re using.

Many different varieties of microgreens and leafy greens can be grown in BioStrate. Learn more about how BioStrate can help make your growing more consistent and efficient here.
