HydraFiber, by Profile Products LLC products

The HydraFiber Ultra line, engineered by Profile Products LLC, is a specialized growing media designed for professional greenhouse growers, nursery operators, and soil blenders. It offers enhancements in root development, plant quality, and inventory management. This media is particularly noteworthy for its efficiency in water retention and porosity, providing an optimal balance that supports plant growth without turning into mush when wet. With an impressive 13:1 expansion rate, its highly compressed bales are economical and fit well into existing mixing lines, provided specialized equipment is used. Available in three formulations to suit different crop types and stages, HydraFiber Ultra is OMRI listed for organic use. The media's ability to stabilize pH levels and extend shelf life adds further value for commercial horticultural operations.

HydraFiber EZ Blend is an effective alternative to traditional substrates like peat and perlite, offering similar benefits and cost savings without necessitating specialized equipment. Designed for both space-saving and operational efficiency, it comes in two formats: 40-pound bales and 95-cubic-foot towers, catering to diverse logistical and processing needs. Extensive testing has confirmed that HydraFiber EZ Blend promotes healthier root development, producing visibly whiter roots with abundant root hairs. Customers have reported improved growth rates and plant quality, with some noticing crops finishing earlier when using HydraFiber blends. Additionally, the product mixes well with existing substrates, ensuring a seamless transition without adverse effects on plant health. HydraFiber EZ Blend is especially noted for its ease of wetting, aiding in more efficient watering post-transplant and maintaining compatibility with standard fertilization programs.

HydraFiber Specialty Short Fiber serves as an effective supplement or replacement for peat moss due to their similar physical properties. Specifically tailored for smaller cells, this engineered fiber provides the same benefits as the original HydraFiber Engineered Media. Ideal for propagation mixes, it can be used as an alternative to other substrates like perlite. The product consists of 100% engineered fiber made from renewable sources and is highly compressed at a 13:1 ratio for efficient shipping and storage. Effective use requires HydraFiber processing equipment for maximum yield. The fibers offer superior water-holding capacity and maintain high air space, facilitating vegetative liner production and seed germination. Technical evaluations, such as the Loss on Ignition (ASTM D586-19) and the Porometer Test Method by NCSU Substrates Lab, show its high efficiency. Suitable for horticultural professionals involved in commercial production, the product can lead to better plant quality and optimized soil mixing processes.
