If a plant experiences a "negative change in health," do you ever transfer a stacked top Grodan cube into a dug out space in the larger cube?

Have you ever used Unislabs? They're rectangle and low profile, so very hard to tip over. Plus you can leave them in the wrapper, so they would be ideal for moving around.

I've seen them, if it's what I'm thinking about. Some growers put them beneath their stack -- among other things, it provides a few more hours of moisture if something goes wrong.

My concern with Unislabs is that I'm not sure how well it would work within a perpetual grow setup. I guess it doesn't matter, I just imagined it causing some spacial/pairing issues when, for example, 1 out of 3 or 4 on a shelf finishes before the others. Probably don't have to be connected, it's mostly a space/timing thing. I do think they're cool, just haven't spent much time thinking on how to incorporate them. I'll have to think about that. Thanks.

I don't know about that "vertical weave," man. A cube's horizontal weave holds moisture better.... Kidding, very good suggestion. Glad you mentioned this, because it made me revisit what my favorite store has available. Initially, I must've been looking at those longer slabs. Unislab is quite awesome.

$5.32/Uni-Slab when you buy 16. Plus shipping....

Conversely, a Big Mama is $7.52 when you by 18; and a 6" Hugo is currently at $6.51/cube regardless of quantity.

Unfortunately, my buying patterns leave me 1.5 closets filled with cubes -- 3x3x2.5, 6, and 8. Dammit. Next purchase!

[I left the Red Rock block image in there just to point out that it's a shitty product.]
