BLUE-X^® grow tubes have had unmatched success in assisting vineyard managers throughout the world in establishing vineyards of all sizes from small backyard vineyards to large scale growers for almost three decades. Our grow tubes help in developing healthy, strong vines that assist growing at an even root to shoot ratio with accelerated growth rates up to 150%.

BLUE-X^® will also help lower labor costs.  By allowing a BLUE-X^® grow tube to train your vine to emergence from the top of the grow tube you will avoid multiple trips through the vineyard to train the vine to the first fruiting wire or cordon.  How about having an early first harvest, we have the answer, “Put the power of blue to work for you today with BLUE-X^® grow tubes”!   With the use of a BLUE-X^® grow tube your vines can be pushing towards their first harvest in record time.  Weather it’s for profit, pleasure or both, BLUE-X^® grow tubes will give you the best chance at establishing a strong healthy vine that can produce quality fruit for decades to come.

BLUE-X^® grow tubes, a partially post-consumer recycled product, are fabricated from a transparent blue tinted polyester film (PET), (PART-A). This blue film admits up to 100% more photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) than opaque polypropylene. PAR is the part of the light spectrum most utilized by plants.
