Information

Welcome to the world of hydroponics, the art of soilless gardening. Hydroponics and plant grow lights are the gardening tools for the modern age. They make gardening a year-round hobby and literally mean you can grow any plant, anytime, anywhere. Increased yields, faster growth rates and year-round gardening are just a few of the benefits that hydroponic gardening offers. With the continuing concerns about the level of pesticide and herbicide residues remaining in bought produce, the only guaranteed way to ensure healthy eating is to grow your own produce and so more and more people around the world are growing plants using hydroponic techniques. When growing hydroponically, there is no digging, weeding or soilborne pests or diseases to ruin your enjoyment of clean, easy and productive gardening. There is no need to worry about fluctuations in the weather, such as too much rain, frost or not enough sunlight. You are in control and you can achieve fantastic results. Since 1996 HydroGarden have been developing hydroponic systems, sourcing the best products from around the world to enable you to achieve maximum results with minimum effort. You will be amazed at what you can achieve using the range of products that HydroGarden offer. This includes everything from complete hydroponic systems, grow lights, growing media, plant feeds and plant nutrients along with testing and monitoring equipment to ensure the perfect growing environment is maintained.

Information

What is Hydroponics? Hydroponics is commonly described as growing plants without soil; however, this is not strictly true. A better definition would be that hydroponics is ‘providing all of the plant nutrient requirements in soluble form as you water’. Therefore, put in its simplest form, this means you could grow a plant in soil of poor quality by feeding when you water. Some believe hydroponics to be very complicated, but this need not be the case. It is only as difficult or complicated as you choose to make it. There is no doubt it is a supremely efficient method of growing.

How do plants grow? All plants have the same basic needs of light, carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen, water, warmth and food in the form of nutrients. These nutrients only make up approximately 2% of the mass of the plant, which it cannot synthesise for itself from Carbon Dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants turn CO2 and water into organic compounds, primarily sugars.

Hydroponics can be practised anywhere

If plants are not given enough of all of these essential elements, it can have a detrimental effect on their growing. Different plants require these elements in differing ratios, but they are all essential requirements whether the plant is grown in soil or hydroponically. When you grow hydroponically, you can control and enhance all of a plant’s basic needs and you even have the ability to ensure adequate oxygen is available to the roots.

NASA are developing hydroponic methods of growing plants in space; even lettuces are grown on submarines using these techniques. Due to the different sizes of systems available and the unlimited design that systems can be made into, you can grow in any location. As the systems are self-contained, lightweight and clean, they can be used indoors during the winter – in a conservatory, greenhouse, cellar, attic, garage or kitchen. They can even be moved outside in the summer months.


Information

Hydroponics has existed for a long time

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are often considered to be the earliest known practice of hydroponic gardening but this is not strictly true. Julius von Sachs and Wilhelm Knop developed the first truly hydroponic method in the 19th century, then in the 1920’s the first complete nutrient solutions were developed by William Gericke. This is effectively what is being used now as the basis for hydroponic solutions. Today, hydroponic methods are spreading throughout the world and hydroponic installations can be found all over the globe, from Australia to America, Spain to Thailand. Many commercial growers now use hydroponic techniques to produce such items as lettuce and tomatoes on a large scale.

Productive Hydroponics Commercial crop growers have been using hydroponic techniques for many years. This provides them with more control over their growing environment and a higher quality crop as a result. The concerns about soil-borne pests and diseases are reduced dramatically and weeding is considered a thing of the past. The rapid harvests and the higher yields are some of the reasons why commercial growers use these methods, in addition to the fact that it hugely aids the viability of their business.

Information

Organic and Soil-Based Growing There are many options available to growers who want to grow using soil, or even organically. HydroGarden offers a range of products to provide you with peace of mind, whilst still ensuring great yields and quality end produce. Nowadays, people are more aware of where their food is coming from and any products that may have been used on them in the growing process. Pesticides are used in both organic and non-organic commercial production, the only difference being in the products actually used. The only way to be sure what has been used is to grow your own, whether that be hydroponically or soil-based. Hydroponically-grown crops tend to be stronger, healthier and more resistant to disease. There are a number of physical action ‘contact’ pesticides and biological controls available to the hobby gardener to control insect attack.

Attention Soil Growers…

Attention Organic Growers…

For soil-based growers, whether in hand-fed pots or using automated drip-feed systems, we supply everything from the pots and saucers to soil-based growing media, from nutrients and soil-growing additives to watering and drip-feed systems and more!

We also offer a number of organic products for those keen to grow using traditional organic methods, or for those wishing to combine organic nutrients and additives with a hydroponic system. This last method is known as Hydro-Organics and is well established in the USA.

Remember, that you can still enjoy the benefits of growing under artifical lighting when growing in soil and many hydroponic-specific nutrients work very well when applied to soil-grown plants, due to the full spectrum of minerals that they contain.

Our range of organic growing media, organic plant nutrients and beneficial bacteria additives, such as VitaLink BioPac are very popular. All are naturally derived from organic sources and are made from environmentally and sustainable materials.

Hydro-Organics - an explanation… While some more traditional organic growers will keep their distance from the idea, there are a growing number of people who wish to take the best of both worlds – by combining a hydroponic system with using organic nutrients and additives. This method of growing enables the plant to feed from a traditional organic plant food source, yet also combines the water-saving and wider environmental benefits of hydroponics. We fully support this hybrid of traditional and modern growing methods and believe it will become more and more popular over time.

Hydroponics and the Indoor Gardener Beginner

Intermediate

If you are a newcomer to indoor growing, even if you have plenty of greenhouse and outdoor gardening experience, you are about to embark on a steep learning curve, relating to plant-lighting, environmental control, optimum use of growing space, and possibly even regulation and control of plant life cycles if you are going to grow plants that are seasonal in their growth habits.

Once you understand the nuances of indoor gardening, you may now want to start thinking of ways to really get the most out of the space you have – this is where true hydroponics comes in!

With that in mind, it is advisable not to take on too many other new ideas, so stick to simple growing techniques to start with – hand-watering pots and good quality, heavily fertilised compost, or passive hydro kits – with a view to upgrading to active hydroponics once you have mastered the growroom basics. To get started, you will need: a grow-tent, or some reflective sheeting if you plan to build your own “growroom”; suitable plant-lighting; a ventilation fan, a carbon filter (unless you don’t mind your whole house smelling like a jungle) and possibly some ducting, some growing media, some pots to put it in and some basic plant nutrients. You also need to decide whether you intend to buy young plants in, or propagate your own from seeds or cuttings.

Now you will need to decide which technique might be most suited to you. It may be that you need to try a few different system or just take the advice of friends or your HydroGarden retailer. You also need to start learning about nutrient testing and adjustment. There are many different nutrient and stimulant additives available that can help plants in the different stages of their development. Also you may now be looking to optimise the temperature and humidity of your growing environment. The more you learn about your hobby, the better grower you will become and the more you will get back from the plants you choose to grow.

Be sure to read the relevant sections carefully, and get some advice from your HydroGarden retailer on the best options and sizes for your growing space.

Hydroponics and the Advanced Gardener

There is general agreement in the commercial sector that greenhouse crops, regardless of whether they are edibles or ornamentals, will give massively increased yields (as well as all the other benefits) when grown hydroponically, and there is no reason the hobby gardener can’t obtain the same results from our range of hydroponic kits and systems. There are options to suit everyone, from the avid DIY enthusiast to those who want an off-the-shelf kit that needs virtually no assembly, as well as for all scales and budgets.

You have been growing for a long time, your indoor garden or greenhouse is running smoothly and your favourite plants are happy, healthy and growing well….

Also our ranges of advanced propagation products and high performance plant nutrients and additives make it easy for even the most traditional or experienced gardener to see improvements in flavour, quality and yield. It is also worth having a browse through the lighting section, as there are a number of options that can be used for supplementary lighting to extend the growing season even in an unheated greenhouse by extending day length, or simply improve fruiting and flowering by enhancing the light spectrum.

Information

Hydroponics and the Greenhouse Gardener

….but there is always room for improvement! Maybe it’s time to try a different hydroponic technique to see if that can enhance your yield or quality? Perhaps you just want to improve or automate your environmental control or nutrient dosing? Possibly you want to upgrade your HID lighting to electronic ballasts or experiment with LED? Then again, it could just be time to expand!

Or maybe you just want to take the hard work out of watering by using our irrigation fittings.

Propagation


Propagation

Propagation Put simply, propagation is about creating new plants either from seeds (sexual reproduction) or cuttings (vegetative reproduction). Propagating from seed means there will be some genetic variation. The start of this process is called germination, where the seed splits and the seed leaves and tap-root appear. As long as the propagating media is suitably sterile and can hold sufficient water, the seed should germinate in a few days. Propagating from cuttings enables you to produce a plant with the same genetics as the donor plant (as long as the growing conditions are replicated). This is a rapid method of propagation and generally offers a higher success rate because the quality of seeds can vary greatly. There are a number of different cutting methods, dependent on the plant type – stem cutting, leaf cutting, air cutting, splitting from runners and tissue culture. It is important that you control the moisture, humidity and temperature as this will help to prevent disease that could otherwise occur. The method that you use very much depends on what you want to achieve from your propagation. The key to successful propagation is maintaining consistent optimal conditions, which is why we suggest the use of propagators.

Growing from cuttings – 6 key steps 1. Choose your parent plant: it should be healthy and (ideally) not flowering, with the characteristics you prefer. 2. Prepare the cutting media first: it should be moist, not wet. If using cubes/plugs/sponges pre-soak adding a young plant nutrient or a weak ‘grow’ nutrient solution. 3. Select your cutting: (growing tips or side shoots) new growth is best and ideally 5-8cm long. 4. Using a sharp, clean blade cut at 45° immediately below a node. 5. Remove lower leaves – too much leaf area may lead to wilting. If you are using a rooting gel or hormone product, apply now. 6. Transfer your cutting into a propagator as soon as possible to maintain humidity. Provide suitable light and a constant, moderate temperature.


Propagation

Steps To Grow From Seed 1. If using cubes/plugs/sponges, pre-soak with a young plant nutrient or a weak ‘grow’ nutrient solution. 2. Place the seed in the dibble hole of the cube/plug/ sponge, with either the cracked or pointed end facing downwards as this means the seed uses less energy to orientate itself. 3. Place the seed in a propagator or cloche as this will help to provide the optimal conditions for germination. 4. Once the seedlings are well established, plant them on into a growing system or pot.

Propagation with ROOT!T Propagation

ROOT!T Rooting Gel

How to give your cuttings the best start For optimum rooting results, it is important that your growing media or plugs are pre-soaked with water and ROOT!T First Feed, set up with dibble holes filled with ROOT!T Rooting Gel and are ready to accept the cuttings as soon as possible after the cut has been made. Cuttings should be put straight into the growing medium. ROOT!T Rooting Gel helps to: Seal the cut tissue Protect initial root tissues Protect against disease Feed young roots If using ROOT!T Natural Rooting Sponge, soak the ROOT!T Natural Rooting Sponge in water immediately prior to use. Add ROOT!T First Feed to your water to give your cuttings a head start. If using ROOT!T Stonewool, pre-soak in water at a pH of 5.5-6.5. Use a quarter strength nutrient or ROOT!T First Feed. Make sure the plugs are totally soaked and allow excess water to drain, or if in a hurry shake out. If using compost in a tray or pot, use free draining compost that is moist, but not too wet. You can add a mix of perlite to aid drainage. Create small dibble holes in the top of the compost that can take ROOT!T Rooting Gel. Add ROOT!T First Feed to your compost to give your cuttings a head start. ROOT!T Rooting Gel has the advantage over other gels and powders as it will remain in contact with the stem for longer and so is more successful in root development. Once the cut has been made, a callous (basal swelling) will form, this is the plant’s way of healing the wound. The roots will then grow from this callous.

ROOT!T Rooting Gel is the first rooting gel specifically formulated for use with growing media. ROOT!T Rooting Gel helps natural root development of cuttings. This fantastic product comes in a gel that stays firm in the plug replacing the need for hormone rooting powder. ROOT!T Rooting Gel, unlike other rooting gels, is placed directly into the central cavity of the plug. The gel forms a seal around the cut surface of the cutting, aiding uptake and helping prevent dehydration and infection. It will work equally effectively with rooting sponges, stonewool plugs, peat plugs, coco coir plugs/fibre or compost. Use in combination with ROOT!T First Feed and ROOT!T Cutting Mist for the strongest rooting around!!

ROOT!T Cutting Mist

Scalpels

Ideal for use on soft and semihardwood material, it helps to prevent losses in the critical first few days. It can be used to pre-treat donor plants 2-3 days before taking a cutting and also, to treat cuttings for the following 3 days. ROOT!T Cutting Mist is best used with ROOT!T Rooting Gel, but can be used with other rooting products or even on its own.

Product Name ROOT!T Cutting Mist 100ml

18

Make sure you apply enough rooting gel to the dibble hole to completely cover the base of the cutting and that there is no air around the base of the cutting. The rooting gel should spill out of the growing media and form a small mound on the surface. Avoid simply pre-dipping your cutting in the rooting gel or using additional rooting hormones.

How to use ROOT!T Cutting Mist For use on soft and semi-hardwood material, for both new cuttings and as a pre-treatment of donor plants. Can be used alongside other rooting products. For optimum results, use in conjunction with ROOT!T Rooting Gel. Spray leaves lightly with an even mist until coating is just visible. Take care not to inhale, always spray away from you. Contains a balanced vitamin and mineral blend to support successful cutting development.

Hydroponic systems Generally speaking, hydroponics can be divided into two fields – Passive and Active. Passive kits or systems are fed either by hand watering or through capillary action, which can be through direct contact or through the use of a ‘wick’.

Active kits or systems, which come in a variety of designs, use a ‘powered’ hydroponic technique, whether it be with a Pump or Air-Pump. The most important thing to remember is that the best system for you is the one that suits your experience, budget and situation.

Passive Kits and Systems As previously mentioned, Passive kits and systems use hand or capillary watering.

Take care not to overcompact or damage the roots when potting up

The hand watering method depends on how much effort the grower is willing to put in, but does not really offer much more than traditional fertilisation techniques. Capillary watering can be achieved through a range of techniques – using a valve from a reservoir; having pots that sit on a regularly watered capillary matting; sitting pots in a shallow reservoir, where the capillary matting draws the solution up to the media; or placing individual pots in trays or saucers that the solution is put into.

The plant will develop new healthy roots which will grow down towards the saucer

This is a simple, cheap and easy-to-maintain method, but can be prone to over- or under-watering.

Fill with nutrient solution, take care to ensure the saucer doesn’t dry out

Flood & Drain is a re-circulating timed hydroponic system. This method is also known as Ebb & Flow or Ebb & Flood. There are two types of Flood & Drain system – the Table System, where media is spread on a table or the plants are in pots spread out on a table; and the Bucket/Pot System, which consists of individual pots being flooded with an inner pot containing the media.

Pump floods media and plant roots with nutrient solution

The main principle of Flood & Drain is to bring fresh water and nutrients to the root zone by flooding the system and then drawing fresh air (oxygen) to the root zone, therefore draining the system. It is a media-based system, which theoretically can be used with any growing media, though a free-draining media like clay pebbles can be flooded more frequently than a retentive media like stonewool. This in turn refreshes both the nutrient solution and oxygen more frequently. The Flood can be delivered from the top (flushing the old nutrient through better) or from the bottom (much simpler fittings required).

Kits and Systems

NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) NFT is a recirculating, continuous flow hydroponic system which uses no growing media except for any starter blocks used. In this growing method, the plants rest in a flat, but sloping tray or channel (gully), often with no support, but using propagation cubes/sponges or small net pots filled with coco coir. A thin ‘film’ of nutrient solution continuously flows down a shallow channel with a slight incline. It is essentially a bare-rooted growing method that has the roots growing out of the planting block to spread across the channel and form a ‘root mat’.

Place rooted plants or cuttings in the holes provided to sit in the nutrient flow

It is important that the roots are always in contact with the air allowing easy access to oxygen. As the system is usually run on a constant basis (during daylight hours) the management of NFT systems has to be more diligent than other types of systems. Should the re-circulating pump fail, the plants will die due to lack of growing media to hold water and food for them. Regular ‘solution changes’ are required to refresh the nutrient solution – the more frequent, the better – and the reservoir should be maintained as close to full as possible to prevent EC, pH and temperature fluctuations.

32

The nutrient solution is pumped from the reservoir to the top of the gully, then runs through the gully feeding plants and then, back into the reservoir. This is called a recirculating system

www.hydrogarden.com


This is a system that can be recirculating or run-to-waste. This method is commonly used for large-scale commercial hydroponics. Run-to-waste works by the nutrient solution running into the growing media from a single reservoir via an irrigation system and drippers, sprayers or sprinklers. Ideally, there needs to be a certain amount of run-o (about 25%) on a daily basis, as this helps to refresh the media content continually.

Plant is placed in media such as clay pebbles and drip-fed the nutrient solution pumped from the reservoir

Kits its and Systems

Drip Irrigation

This method nearly always uses timers. Irrigation pipe

Deep Water Culture (DWC) Systems Also known as bubbler systems, these very popular hydroponic systems require very little growing media, but do require a lot of nutrient/water solution. The plant is supported in a net pot ďŹ lled with a growing media such as clay pebbles and the roots are submerged in a highly oxygenated nutrient/water solution. The bubbles produced by an airstone keep the solution constantly moving and oxygen-rich, so that the roots stay healthy. It is important to monitor EC and pH levels closely with these systems in order to gain optimum results.

PLANT!T gemini Kits and Systems

Laser cut flow-ring means reduced chance of blockages

Cable management points ensures all wires and pipes fit neatly, so no blocked pipes or airlines and no tangled wires. All fit correctly so no problems with light or algae

The PLANT!T gemini is a stand-alone 1 plant recirculating hydroponic system. Plants are supported and grown in a media, such as clay pebbles (10L bag of pebbles supplied in kit) and they are suspended above the tank filled with nutrient solution. The nutrient solution is pumped through the clay pebbles, via a specially designed laser cut flow-ring, direct to the roots of the plant. This draws vital oxygen into the nutrient solution as it works its way to the plant roots and ensures great growing results.

Integral nutrient solution level indicator

Some benefits of this system are: Great yields - better than hand watering as more nutrients are provided to the roots Flexible - plants can be moved around as each gemini is a standalone system Better results - free draining, highly oxygenated root zone with no nutrient or water build up

VitaLink Clay Pebbles

Made from 100% natural clay, they are clean, pH and EC stable, and offer both great aeration and drainage. Due to their unique structure and large surface area, they offer the ideal environment to foster beneficial bacterial growth around the root zone leading to healthier plants naturally. VitaLink Clay Pebbles are unlike some other pebbles on the market, as their non-uniform shape results in an increased surface area that leads to better aeration and greater water retention. In addition they are also tumbled in the manufacturing process to give them softer edges that are kinder to new root growth when transplanting. VitaLink Clay Pebbles will not float once fully wet, and are pre-cleaned.

Packaging dimensions: W: 360mm / D: 345mm / H: 365mm

PLANT!T titan Kits and Systems

Choice of planting method – media in pots or fill the table with loose media

The PLANT!T titan is a range of table-based Flood & Drain hydroponic systems, also known as Ebb & Flow or Ebb & Flood. These are popular growing systems for the more experienced grower and use media and nutrient/water solution.

Low level design to maximise headroom adroom

The PLANT!T titan is available in 4 different sizes - titan S, titan M, titan L and titan XL.

Tank base designed for strength and efficient emptying with bottom drawing pumps

The main principle of Flood & Drain is to bring fresh water and nutrients to the root zone. The plants sit on the growing table, which sits on top of the tank. During the flood cycle, nutrients are pumped from the tank to the table, which brings fresh nutrient solution to the plant’s roots. During the drain cycle, the nutrients are released back into the tank, drawing fresh air to the roots. A timer can be used to control the number of times a flood cycle is performed.

Table designed for rapid draining

The media is either spread loose on the table or put into separate free-draining pots, such as net pots, that are placed on a table. The PLANT!T titan can be used with any growing media, clay, coco, stonewool or soil; however, a free-draining media, like clay pebbles can be flooded more frequently than a retentive media like stonewool. All PLANT!T titan systems are supplied with innovative, multi-layer table covers, which are white on top and black underneath. These reflect light above and exclude light below. The PLANT!T plastic covers are stronger than typical corrugated plastic, however, they are still easy to cut for plant spacing.

PLANT!T atlas Kits and Systems

Choice of pre-selected pot kits or your own pot configuration 3 different ranges with 4 sizes available in each

Fully adjustable drippers to tailor irrigation

Tanks and tables designed to fit neatly, so no problems with light or algae Table design for rapid draining The PLANT!T atlas is a range of table-based recirculating drip irrigation systems. Drip irrigation is the most common method of commercial hydroponic growing. Watering and feeding little and often via drip irrigation, provides a more consistent and optimal moisture content in the media for the plants. This results in healthier plants and bigger yields than heavy occasional watering by hand.

Cable management points ensure that all wires fit neatly, so no tangled cables

Plants are grown in pots and placed on the table. Nutrient/water solution is pumped from the tank to the plants via drippers into the pots. All runoff of nutrient/water solution returns to the tank below the table. The fully adjustable drippers mean it is suitable for irrigating in any media, and can be used for everything from automated watering of heavily fertilised composts, to a fully hydroponic regime with inert media such as clay pebbles or stonewool. You can even integrate an organic feed schedule by watering the feed directly onto the soil by hand once or twice a week, with the system doing the rest of the work. Also, by recirculating it, you will not lose valuable nutrients in the run-off or waste water. Each dripper is adjustable and can be tailored to each plant. For each table size, there are two options of pot volume: 12 litre or 18 litre, which come with drippers to match the number of pots on the table, and the delivery arrangement is pre-assembled. Also available is a dripper-only option, where you build your own dripper kit. Choosing this option means you can select your own pot size and number of drippers (up to the recommended maximum for that table size). It is easy to make one system a nursery kit, for bringing plants on in size before transplanting to their final growing position and suitable spacing to reach maturity. Feeding cycles can be manually controlled or timed using a simple segmental or digital timer (not supplied).

Tanks have moulded-in level marks

Aquatray and Aeroponik Pot Kits and Systems

Aquatray

Aeroponik Pot

For Slab Culture or 13cm Pots

Aeroponics within a pot for ultimate flexibility and no growing media!

Each tray has 2 drain outlets, a raised proďŹ le for better draining.

In this revolutionary new type of pot, the entire root zone is irrigated by a circulating liquid fertilizer. The roots of the plant absorb the nutrients through the irrigation of the dripper, microsprayer from above. The roots lie or hang in the air and are perfectly provided with oxygen and nutrients. The constant exchange of fresh oxygen and circulating nutrients optimizes and maximizes the root zone. This results in accelerated growth and increasing yield.

Suitable for 1m Stonewool slabs and is ideal for CANNA Coco slabs and pot culture using 13cm square pots.

Raised proďŹ le for better draining

Depending on the planning and needs, you decide whether 2 or 3 layers are used within the pot for support. For more info go to www.aeroponik.com

Bubbler Kits and Accessories Brummie Bubbler Kit

Baby Bubbler Kit

This 16.5L Black Trough is a general all round planter that can be used for DIY hydro kits and comes as part of the ‘Brummie Bubbler’ kit.

The Brummie Bubbler is a hybrid growing system that effectively combines bubbling and dripping methods to produce stunning results. It delivers feeds to a single plant via aerated nutrient solution at the root level and also via an automated drip ring – the latter of which allows you to run the system on full with the plant in place immediately after transplanting. For the first time ever you no longer have to initially hand water young plants growing in a bubbler related set up!

Due to the success of the Brummie Bubbler we’ve introduced a slightly smaller, more economical version – the Baby Bubbler.

Dimensions are 450mm x 308mm x 170mm.

GHE AquaFarm, WaterFarm and Accessories Kits and Systems

GHE AquaFarm and WaterFarm

How it works The WaterFarm and AquaFarm are simple quality systems that are ideal for medium to long term plants or even small trees. A small air pump recirculates the nutrient via a drip ring. The plants sit in the Clay Pebbles or a mixture of clay pebbles and Coco Coir. An external see–through tube lets you know when more nutrient is needed. The systems use one pot above the other and the solution is recirculated via a pump and circular dripper around the base of the plant.

NFT Gully Systems Kits and Systems

SureGrow NFT Gully Our Gully is the most robust on the market with a great range of fittings Our SureGrow Gully is available in three different trough sizes, which accommodates all facets of growing in hydroponics. Whether you are producing flowers, fodder, tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicum, courgettes, strawberries, any type of lettuce, micro and traditional herbs or larger leafy varieties of crops, there is a gully system to suit you. HydroGarden’s leading NFT trough system has proved successful across the world. From Australia to Holland, New Zealand, New Guinea, Fiji, Thailand, Korea, USA, Japan, and Kuwait, users get great results using SureGrow NFT gully kits. The channel is manufactured from food-safe ‘rigid’ PVC and is UV stabilised and white in colour. The convex “Snap-On” lid ensures against rain and weather damage, when used outside, while giving easy access for cleaning. The lid can be supplied undrilled or drilled. The concave base will direct the nutrient towards the centre of the channel. The end caps are designed for a ‘friction fit’. SureGrow Kits require the careful application of sealant to prevent leaks. The end cap is available with a spout. The use of end caps with spouts has markedly reduced the cost by eliminating the need for building or purchasing ‘header or collection boxes’. This is the heaviest channel per metre on the commercial market today. Guaranteed for 20 years, this channel will give the grower confidence and security not matched by any other product. Please note that all the components are priced separately. To make a system from components, you will need a channel, top cover and 2 end caps (1 with a spout). Optional accessories are the Gully Pot and the channel joiner.

HydroGarden NFT Gully benefits: Non-toxic for safe use and handling Manufactured to food-grade specifications for growing edible produce Versatility – can be modified for several growing methods Two-piece design for easy cleaning Low set-up costs Channels carry a 20 year guarantee Concave base Convex lid promotes water run-off UV stabilised for longer life Can be joined inline for extended runs Excellent results SureGrow kit pots and lids Our gully kits come with the pot and lid. The hole is 100mm diameter so can neatly accommodate a 75mm Grodan block or the pot and lid (supplied). The pot is designed to be smaller than the hole so as to allow for easy checking of the root zone and less root damage when lifting. The lid stops algae growth and protects against Thrip and other such root zone pests

NFT Gully Systems Kits and Systems

Bespoke Gully Orders

Here are 4 separate plans that were actually produced for a commercial grower

SureGrow NFT Gully can be used to build a hydroponic system to fill virtually any growing area, regardless of size or shape. Please ask your retailer if you require advice on layout options and system design. Standard SureGrow Trough and Lid length is 2.8m, but SureGrow Inline Joiners allow lengths to be connected together, and both Troughs and Lids can be cut to order. This allows single Gully to be whatever length is required – though usual recommended maximum NFT channel length is 10-12 metres. SureGrow Lids come undrilled, but a drilling service is also available, with planting hole sizes of 50mm, 75mm or 100mm available – distance apart requested will be assumed from hole centres unless clearly stated otherwise. If you just tell your retailer the number of holes required he will order the most even layout. NOTE: LEAD TIMES – clearly, bespoke Gully orders cannot be delivered the next day. Most orders can be expected within 5 working days, though large orders could take longer – rest assured we would aim to get them in the shortest time possible. We can advise better once we know your detailed requirements. What you need to consider for a complete system Gully size: SG50, SG70 or SG225? Trough spacing – dictated by plant size at maturity and whether access is required for plant maintenance. Staging for Gully and slope for NFT channels – recommended slope for NFT is 1:40 to 1:20 (2.5cm to 5cm per metre). All joins, including end caps, must be sealed with silicon sealant to be watertight. Pump and Tank requirements, delivery and drainage plumbing – all the non-SureGrow parts, HydroGarden should be able to supply everything required, please ask your retailer for advice if unsure.

1 Tray and Lid

The 1 Pot System comes supplied with a tray that accommodates a 15 litre pot, a Marix Disc that is placed inside the pot (the Marix Disc is used to prevent soil/compost from leaving the pot) and a Root Control Disc that is placed under the pot in the tray cavity, gold face up.

1 x 1 Pot Kit Bag

The Root Control Disc or RCD will prevent roots from leaving the pot and discourage them from heading towards the AQUAvalve. An AQUAvalve, which controls the water supply, and 1.5 metres of 4mm pipe that supplies the water to the system, are also supplied. The 1 Pot System is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of plant types and sizes. Seasonal flowering plants and perennial shrubs thrive and produce an abundance of blooms and foliage because of the unique action of the AQUAvalve, which is designed to allow the plant to go through a wet and dry cycle. The 1 Pot System is easily extended, so many pots can be linked to a single tank. The pots and trays can be easily moved, so if the plants grow too large they can be spaced further apart with ease. Once set up and a tank filled with water and liquid feed, this extremely versatile system will completely take care of all your plants’ needs.

Kits and Systems

AutoPot AQUAvalve and Cover

AutoPot Discs AutoPot Root Control Copper Coated Disc

A Low Cost and Simple System, great for tents The AUTOtray system is a great DIY gravity feed system using the AQUAvalve. Put simply - a single AQUAvalve regulates the flow of water to the tray which controls the feeding and watering of each tray and the pots inside.

AutoPot Marix Black Disc

By growing in pots, the grower has the full advantage of being able to remove and change plants when and where necessary. Plants can be lifted from one system to another with ease and without causing stress to the plant. Extending and expanding the tray system can be done with ease at any time. Using connecting ‘T’s, join to the existing 4mm pipe of the system in use. Simply fix to a reservoir for a gravity fed system.

How it works A single AQUAvalve that regulates the flow of water to the tray controls the feeding and watering. By growing in pots the grower has the advantage of being able to remove and change plants when necessary. The use of pots offers the grower a wider choice of potting mediums such as soil mixes, coco fibre, Rockwool, Mapito, perlite, vermiculite and combinations of each. Extending and expanding the AUTOtray system can be done with ease at any time. Simply use connecting T’s and join to the existing 4mm pipe of the system in use. The sandwich of copper matting helps contain the root mass in the pot. This aids moisture uptake and stops the root mass filling the reservoir and blocking the AQUAvalve when the plants are mature.

Copper Matting

AUTOtray Root Controlled Coated Disc

Irrigation Float Switch AutoPot products are centred around its AQUAvalve technology, a simple mechanical device that is small enough to hold in the hand and can best be described as a ‘vacuum float valve’. The AQUAvalve is a simple, but very effective watering device. Keep the AQUAvalve and the tray it sits in clean, free of obstructions and soil particles and it will help you water and feed your plants for many years. The AQUAvalve is guaranteed for 12 months. The AQUAvalve is supplied with all AutoPot tray systems. Once connected to the water supply, the AQUAvalve will control the flow of water to the plants, by simple gravity pressure from a tank or reservoir. No pumps, electricity or timers are required. The AQUAvalve will open and allow water to fill the tray, to a pre-set level of 20mm. When the level is reached, the Product Name AutoPot AQUAvalve AutoPot AQUAvalve Cover

AQUAvalve will shut off and prevent any further water from entering the tray until all the water has been consumed by the plants. When all the water has been exhausted and the tray is empty, the AQUAvalve will open and allow more water to enter the tray. As the plants grow larger, the AQUAvalve will open and close more often and will perform in accordance with the plants’ needs. The AQUAvalve cover, if used in conjunction with the AQUAvalve, allows the grower to create their own basic, but very effective hobby watering system. All that is needed is a flat tray of any shape or size. The user simply places the AQUAvalve in the tray and places the AQUAvalve cover over the top of it. A small weight needs to be placed on the AQUAvalve cover to weigh it down. Ensure that you do not cover the small breather hole on the top of the AQUAvalve cover.

Fabric Pots Kits and Systems

PLANT!T Dirt Pots - Flexible Fabric Pots For a more compact root zone with more feeding roots. Ever tried the amazing benefits of air pruning? No? Well if you haven’t and you grow in coco coir or soil then you should. As your plant grows, it sends out roots into the soil from the main tap root and as they reach the bottom or side of a pot they will start to circle it. Having taken a plant out of a pot you will have seen a mass of circling roots at the base. This clumping of roots is commonly known as a root bound plant and it can seriously reduce nutrient uptake. If a root makes contact with light and air it will stop growing and this is known as air pruning. With the unique micro porous fabric that has been specially developed for the PLANT!T Dirt Pot, when your roots hit the side they will try to grow through the material and not circle around it. As the root grows through and reaches the air it is pruned and stops growing. It will now focus on sending out many secondary roots from the pruned root. These secondary roots will then also grow through the pot and be pruned and the same thing happens again. Eventually you get a pot that is full of active roots with no circling. Stronger roots, better roots, more roots = a plant that will grow better and have better nutrient uptake.

PLANT!T Dirt Pot benefits: No root circling = better nutrient uptake and growth More root development = increased nutrient uptake and growth Breathable fabric means superior aeration and manages plant temperatures, keeping plants cooler in summer and warmer in winter, compared with a black plastic pot Easy to use – use with soil; can also be used in a hydro system offering the same benefits with coir, mapito or clay pebbles Can be used outside, in or out of the soil, and can be used to control a root ball allowing you to lift and move plants out of the soil that has been dug in The unique micro porous fabric offers advantages over other plastic air pruning pots, which are harder to irrigate Larger sizes come with cane support loops Made from very heavy duty material that can be used time after time

Due to its breathable nature, the media needs to be kept moist. If the media dries out then the fabric can come away from the media, thus leaving a space for water to drop down the sides and a dehydrated plant. For this reason we recommend that you irrigate from the top with a PLANT!T Watering Ring or drippers. The planters have reinforced seams and strengthtested fabric, so they won’t tear when supporting even the heaviest crop. Incorporated into the design of the 4 larger sizes are handles to allow for moving your crops and loops to take canes for plant support.

Irrigation Fittings


Irrigation Fittings

Irrigation Fittings If you’re planning to water and feed several plants simultaneously you’ll need the right equipment for the job. An Irrigation system can easily be set up indoors or outdoors to regularly feed your plants, and the great thing is it can be arranged for just one plant or for hundreds. The HydroGarden range of irrigation pipe and fittings are supplied in 4mm, 13mm and 19mm sizes, and are ideal for pot culture, drip systems, homemade hydroponic irrigation systems and can also be used outside to water hanging baskets, pots and raised beds, etc. Filters, elbows, splitters, caps, reducers and connectors are just some of the useful irrigation fittings we stock. When creating your own irrigation system to feed your plants, these fittings can be used to arrange your pipe exactly where you want it to go. You’ll need a water butt or nutrient tank, and a submersible pump on a timer will automatically control the flow of water in your irrigation system. Use an inline filter just outside the tank to prevent tank debris from entering the lines and blocking them. The regularity and length of feed times you set will largely depend on the type of plants you grow and the pots and containers you are using. A wide selection of fittings that provide total flexibility are detailed on the following pages to help you design and create the perfect irrigation system for your needs.

Growing Media


Growing Media

Growing Media Growing media is the material in which you grow your plants. In any type of gardening, whether it is hydroponic or soil-based, you need media to anchor the roots and hold nutrient and moisture for the plant. There are two main categories of growing media – ‘Inert’ and ‘Soil and Soil-type’. The two most common ‘Inert’ media are clay pebbles and rockwool, whilst ‘Soil and

Soil, Compost and Soil Mixes Soil is nature’s best effort at a growing substrate and it acts as the support for plants as well as a source of food and water. Soil comes in a range of forms, from light and sandy to heavy and clay-like. Compost is the best example of a ‘Soil-type’ media, which has been formulated to emulate different types of soils to suit the plants that are being grown. There are a variety of soil mixes available on the market specifically developed to enable you to achieve excellent results. Many pre-mixed composts contain peat due to its high water and nutrient holding abilities. However, with the growing concern of peat bog depletion, some composts now contain less peat but have replaced it with ingredients that still provide high water and nutrient-holding capabilities.

92

Soil-type’ media cover an array of products including soil, compost and coco coir. We offer a range of growing media that have been selected due to their high quality and superior capacity for holding nutrient solutions whilst still retaining a good balance of oxygen and moisture.

Coco Coir

Clay Pebbles

Other media

Coconut coir is rapidly becoming the media of choice for both passive hydroponic and soil-based gardeners who are concerned with the depletion of rare peat bogs. It is a waste material from coconut production and is sustainable. Due to the structure of this growing media, it means that it allows for better drainage and air retention.

Clay pebbles are inert, baked pellets of expanded clay. The inner core is porous and will absorb and release nutrient and water to the plants as required. Clay pebbles will not compact, which means that there is excellent aeration around the root zone. Clay pebbles can be re-used, but it is important that they are thoroughly re-washed first.

There are other growing media that can be used, such as, gravel, vermiculite and perlite.

Coco coir has usually been pre-treated or washed to help eliminate the high levels of salts that can be found in this media. Naturally, coco coir has a slightly acidic pH and holds practically no nutrient content of its own apart from potassium. Due to the natural breakdown process, coco coir naturally releases potassium, which is one of the main nutrients plants need, and so it is important to compensate by using a coco-specific nutrient.

Clay pebbles are a pure hydro media that can be used in pot culture, mixed with other growing media (such as at the bottom of pots to aid with drainage and aeration) or as top dressing.

Tip: Always rinse your clay pebbles with fresh water before use. This will help to eliminate dust and small particles that can block drippers and pumps. It will also assist in ensuring that the clay is pH neutral before your plants are placed in the system.

However, whichever media you decide to use, it is important that you take into account the issue of compaction, and the air-to-water ratio.

Quality Horticultural Clay Pebbles

CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles are baked clay pellets that form an ideal substrate for use by experienced growers. Thanks to their unique structure, CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles offer the ideal basis for growers who want to control the application of nutrients and the humidity level of their plants throughout the entire process of cultivation in a simple way. CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles are manufactured from special types of clay that have a low soluble salt content. Because of this, they are particularly suited for use in hydroponic cultivation systems.

VitaLink Clay Pebbles offer the following benefits over competitor products.

We recommend using CANNA Aqua or VitaLink Max or VitaLink easy with this product.

VitaLink Clay offers a tumbled surface without sharp edges that can cut delicate roots and harm plants making them vulnerable to pest and diseases. Ensures good root aeration (non compaction). Extremely stable in both pH and EC and helps prevent excess acidity build up. Performs excellently in Flood and Drain systems where oxygen exchange in thick root mass is essential. Strong structural integrity means they are less likely to break and compact, which can lead to blocked dripper systems. The pebbles drain freely and do not hold any excessive water, which is why they provide good oxygen levels around the root and why they are particularly suitable for Flood and Drain systems. They are also used extensively for Multi Pot systems and drip-fed WaterFarm type systems.

Cultilène Mini Cube is a cube–like loose substrate, made of Stonewool. Mini Cubes provide a perfect water buffer, with a very high water-holding-capacity. The water content in a pot of Mini Cubes is at a maximum of 85%. Not only are Mini Cubes lightweight, they also provide large air-spaces, since there are always open spaces amongst the cubes. Mini Cubes maintain their cubic shape throughout cultivation. Due to these unique features, the substrate typically has an air-space volume of 30%, depending on the size and shape of the pot. This means that long irrigation cycles are possible without causing lack of oxygen to the roots.

1 metre and 1.33 metre slabs Cultilène Stonewool OptimaXX slabs are for the final stage of planting. Recommended for larger, long term crops with extensive roots like peppers, tomatoes or cucumbers.

Cultilène Mapito

The mainly horizontal fibre structure of the OptimaXX product ensures good root penetration throughout the slab. The fibre structure ensures optimum exchange within the slab and accurate control of moisture content and nutrition. Typically, seedlings in blocks are placed onto slabs.

Cultilène Mapito is a Stonewool substrate. Roots thrive in this mixture, which explains its popularity. It offers the grower a good air to water ratio and excellent nutrient retention.

1 metre and 1.33 metre slabs

Mapito is a very good hydroponic grow media for GHE AquaFarm and/or WaterFarm systems. Available in 80 litre bags.

Top Tip: Some growers recommend rinsing the Mapito out to lower the current EC value. Also adjust the pH value between 5.5-5.8. Once this has been done you can start with the desired EC value.

Cultilène Stonewool MaXXima MaXXima slabs are excellent for use in vertical growing systems as they have fewer linear fibres in their structure, which ensures more even nutrient distribution when drip feeding vertically.

Nutrients and Additives


Nutrients and Additives

Nutrients and Additives If plants are grown in ‘Inert’ media, the plant’s nutritional needs must be met by the nutrient solution supplied. Nutrients are the collective term for the mineral elements that a plant requires to grow. There are 13 essential mineral elements that a plant requires, which are split into three groups – primary, secondary and trace. It is vital to use a nutrient solution that is designed for the specific growing media, as it helps to provide a complete and balanced feed to your plant. Nutrient ratios are commonly noted as NPK ratios, which stand for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), which are the three main mineral elements

required for plant growth. Secondary elements are, for example, Sulphur (S) which is needed for photosynthesis and Calcium (Ca) to help with transportation of nutrients around the plants; whilst the trace elements are, for instance, Boron (B) for building cell walls. It is important that a balance of all of these elements are included to achieve the best plant results. All of our nutrient brands contain everything that a plant requires in exactly the right ratios to obtain maximum results. All the nutrients are mineral elements, which are water-soluble, so as to be readily available to the plants in the system.

Types of nutrients available There are a range of nutrients available that are tailored for all growing methods – whether that be hydroponically, in soil or in coco coir. These nutrients come in one-part, two-part and three-part combinations and the choice very much depends on the amount of control a grower wants over their growing. Vegetative and generative are the two different stages of plant development and depending on the type of crop you are growing your plant will pass through both stages or just one. The term vegetative is the stage your plant goes through when it is growing from a seedling into a mature plant and also encompasses all leafy crops – lettuce, for example - that do not produce flowers or 104

Additives fruit. Whilst generative refers to the ‘bloom’ stage of the plant’s life cycle, in which the plant flowers and reproduces seeds and fruit.

of Phosphorus, which is needed by the plant at the flowering and fruiting stage as it helps with flower and seed development.

Most nutrient manufacturers have developed separate ‘grow’ and ‘bloom’ formulations to help the plant at different stages of its development.

Some nutrients are also supplied in hard and soft water varieties. In the UK, most of the water is termed as being ‘hard’, and as such, contains high levels of bicarbonates, calcium and magnesium. In addition to this, by using hard water there can be issues with pH, as the pH level can rise and this can lead to some nutrients becoming unavailable to the plant.

The ‘grow’ nutrient is to be used for plants in vegetative growth, as it contains an increased level of Nitrogen, which the plant needs at this stage of development. This type of nutrient can also be used for plants which do not flower or produce blooms or fruit. The ‘bloom’ nutrient is specially designed for the generative stage of the plant’s cycle. This is because it has an increased level

In these circumstances, it is best to use a hard water nutrient mix, as this has less of certain minerals that are already in the ‘hard’ water and therefore compensates.

www.hydrogarden.com www.h yd drogarden.com

An additive is anything that is added to the nutrient solution to supplement the main nutrient, boost growth or improve the overall health of the plant. Nutrient additives come in a range of different forms – boosters, stimulants, beneficial microbes, health tonics and quality enhancers. All of these products can really boost the results you get from your plants and it is important to use the right one for your plant’s growth stage. Tip: To get optimum results, we recommend using additives alongside a plant nutrient as some additives work by encouraging more nutrient uptake. If there is little nutrient in your growing media, then you will not see the benefit of the additive.


pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline the nutrient solution is. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14; 7 being neutral, below 7 is classed as acidic and above 7 classed as alkaline. The majority of plants prefer it to be mildly acidic when growing hydroponically, therefore somewhere between 5.8 and 6.5, as otherwise nutrient availability can be affected and some elements become unavailable to the plant.

Soils

Strongly Acidic

Most tap water is between pH 7 and 8. Monitoring the pH is vital, as it helps to ensure that the plant has the optimum amount of nutrient mix available to it that it needs. As you can see from the chart, some elements are less available to the plant, when the pH is out of the optimum range. Please note that adding nutrient alters the pH of the overall solution.

Measurement of nutrient strength

Organic Feeds

As previously mentioned, some nutrients come in both hard and soft water varieties.

Different plants need differing strengths of nutrient mixes throughout the growth cycle, especially if fruiting or flowering is to occur. To measure the strength of a solution, a CF (Conductivity Factor) or EC (Electrical Conductivity) meter is needed. CF or EC is the measurement of how much dissolved nutrient is contained within the solution.

Here at HydroGarden, we offer several ranges of organic nutrient feeds – BIOCANNA and BioBizz. BIOCANNA and BioBizz are both 100% organic and are ideally suited to soil-based growing. Sugar Peak Catalyst is an especially useful organic additive that introduces beneficial enzymes and bacteria to non-organic nutrients.

The easiest way to tell what water you have is to look inside your kettle. If there is a build-up of limescale inside, then you live in a ‘hard’ water area. Whilst if you live in a soft water area, soap and shampoo will lather up easier than when using hard water.

Nutrients and Additives

What is pH?

Therefore the higher the number, the stronger the nutrient solution. In general, leafy vegetables like lettuces will need a weaker strength solution than a fruiting or flowering plant, such as, peppers, tomatoes or roses.

CANNA Nutrients CANNA COGr

2 part coir nutrient

A unique coco coir growing method for the experienced grower which produces bigger and better plants from coir

Coco Coir has a great buffer capacity. On the one hand this is an advantage, because it makes growing on CANNA Coco very user–friendly. However, this also makes it difficult to provide the slab or bag, from the beginning, with the right types and amount of nutrients. After years of research by way of soil, run-off and leaf analysis, CANNA was able to develop a fertiliser, which is specially adapted to the properties of the coco substrate. As CANNA Coco contains natural chelate, humic acids and fulvic acids, the plant can optimally absorb all nutrients. The market leader and best seller worldwide.

After years of research, CANNA developed 3 revolutionary nutrients for advanced coir growing; COGr Buffering Agent, COGr Vega and COGr Flores. These products, combined with the unique COGr Slab, provide the plant with optimal conditions for rooting, growth and bloom. COGr slabs can be reused up to 3 times without any loss of quality. The CANNA COGr range is a proven system that is rapidly becoming the method of choice for growing in coco slabs in Holland.

Nutrients and Additives

CANNA Coco

At the heart of this system are compressed unbuffered slabs of coco that require the grower to soak with special COGr Buffering Agent. Then feed with a dedicated COGr Vega feed during the vegetative stage, switching to COGr Flores during the flowering period. These nutrients contain added humic and fulvic acids for improved nutrient uptake as well as silicon for increased resistance to pests and disease. For growers wanting to use the system in pots, the slabs are simply buffered in the normal way and then the contents are emptied into pots. Each slab makes 21-25 litres of coco when decompressed. A 1 litre pack of COGr Buffering Agent dilutes up to 500 litres, one application per crop. A 2 litre pack of CANNA COGr nutrients (1 Litre A, 1 litre B) makes up to 250 litres of full strength nutrient. This is a universal formulation for hard and soft water.

BIOCANNA Bio Vega

BIOCANNA Products

Natural grow nutrient

With its introduction in 2003, BIOCANNA was the first EKO certified range of products for the organic cultivation of fast growing plants. Organically produced plants are better suited to the life philosophy of many enthusiasts.

BIOCANNA Bio Vega has been developed to meet the plant's needs during the growing phase and its organically compounded nitrogen (betaine nitrogen) is easily released in response to the plant’s needs. Complete absorption of the correct nutrients is therefore guaranteed from the start of cultivation. In this way, even the fastest growing plants have an optimum start to flowering.

Increased biodiversity – BIOCANNA contains organically compounded nutritional elements. In contrast with mineral plant feeding, these natural compounded nutritional elements keep the micro flora's biodiversity in balance. The development of soil pathogens in fungi and bacteria is reduced in a natural way and the plant’s defences are strengthened. This results in healthier plants and a higher yield.

BIOCANNA Bio Flores Natural flowering nutrient BIOCANNA Bio Flores ensures that a balanced range of nutritional elements are available, adjusted to the soil’s nutrient retention properties. Bio Flores stimulates the formation of fruits in this way and it also contains all the nutrients that the plant needs during its flowering phase. Hop extract is one of the ingredients in BIOCANNA Bio Flores and because of its characteristics BIOCANNA Bio Flores provides the necessary minerals for fast growing plants in natural proportions. Hop extract also contains lupuline, luparol, lupulon and humulon for extra flowering power.

BIOCANNA Top Tip Due to the presence of pH buffering fruit acids in BIOCANNA Bio Vega and BIOCANNA Bio Flores, the nutritional solution does not need to be acidified. Because the fruit acids serve as natural chelates, the nutrients can be absorbed across a wider pH course (up to pH 7). It is important to shake bioproducts well before use. Apply diluted nutrient solution 1 to 3 times a week. Not only the plants, but also micro-organisms really prosper in a diluted solution of BIOCANNA Bio Flores and BIOCANNA Bio Vega. It s advisable to use the prepared solution within two days. BIOCANNA Bio BOOST is not a nutrient, but a metabolism stimulator and for that reason supports the working of other CANNA products, such as PK 13/14. BIOCANNA nutrients give fantastic results when used with BIOCANNA Bio Terra Plus Soil Mix.

HALO Growth Promoter Nutrients and Additives

How does HALO work? HALO heralds a new technology in plant stimulants and health. HALO is the first product of an entirely new class of crop production technology utilising the Harpin Alpha Beta protein, a powerful new plant technology. Both laboratory and field studies have shown that HALO treated plants exhibit accelerated growth, early flowering, early fruit set and increased fruit set. These observed effects on growth and development can lead to increased yields and a shortened time to harvest. HALO is foliar applied, on application a message or signal is sent throughout the plant, initiating a sequence of physiological and biochemical reactions that activate plant growth and stress-defence pathways. The result is a healthier, more productive crop. The active ingredient in HALO is Harpin Alpha Beta, a naturally occurring protein that activates the plant’s natural defence system. This is not to be confused with Harpin EA which is used in a well-known product in the USA. Harpin EA is the first generation science with only a single receptor. HALO Harpin Alpha Beta is the latest generation of the Harpin protein with 4 receptors. This increase in both number and nature of these active sites upon the protein enable lower dose rates and a wider efficacy and positive effect on the crop. In addition to its main active, HALO also benefits from a blend of essential micronutrients: Iron, Manganese, Zinc and Copper. These micronutrients are specially chelated to be slow released over a period of 3-10 days. HALO® utilises a patented process for chelating the microelements with polysaccharides, which maintains the availability of the nutrients both on the leaf and within the soil, maximising the effects of the Harpin protein.

What is Harpin Protein and how does it work?

HALO (Harpin) HALO has been extensively tested throughout the world and will provide the following benefits:

Harpin Alpha Beta

a higher growth rate when using lights due to an increase in photosynthesis by up to 25%. In addition, nutrient uptake in plants is also increased. Ultimately, HALO provides value to growers by increasing yield and fruit quality activates growth mechanisms that result in improved plant vigour, increased plant stamina and an improved stress defence response activates cell wall expansion, cell elongation, protein and sugar transport and promotes flower initiation, fruit set and size activates defence mechanisms increasing the plant’s ability to defend itself against certain viral, bacterial and fungal plant diseases

1. The Harpin protein binds to the plant’s receptors. Plants are naturally equipped with early warning receptors that detect Harpin proteins.

pre-harvest applications reduce the incidence of Botrytis (bud rot) and extends crop shelf life

2. The receptors react to Harpin as if it were a pathogen – stimulating the plant to act. The plant responds by sending a signal (or message) throughout itself, initiating a sequence of physiological and biochemical reactions.

Application Method: Foliar Spray

3. The plant reaction activates both growth and stress-defence pathways within the plant. The growth response is most pronounced – increasing the plant’s current processes. This response increases nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, vigour and reproductive activity of the plant. The stress-defence response improves plant stamina, increasing stress tolerance. Plant stress can be caused by environmental events, physiological shifts in plant growth and outside biological agents. The benefit of stress-defence response depends on the severity and duration of a particular stress condition.

Timing of Application – Since the plant needs to convert the eliciting effects from HALO into biochemical processes, it is evident that best effects are obtained when the product is applied to physiologically active plants. Treatments are recommended around critical crop physiological growth stages, such as flower induction, fruit set, fruit enlargement and pre-harvest. In some perennial crops, the treatment of HALO in the previous season can affect the plant in the following growth cycle or spring and can also benefit cuttings/clones taken from the treated plant. This can result in earlier bud formation and hence, greater flowering. Trials are also showing great benefits as a seed soak in some crops and this research is continuing. Application Rates – Foliar applications: Mix dry, soluble HALO in water at a dilution rate of 5g (10ml) per litre of tap water. A 100g tub will provide 20 litres of foliar spray. A 2.5g (5ml) soluble sachet will give maximum benefit if mixed with 500ml of water. Mixed in 1 litre of water will be less concentrated, but will still offer good results. Apply every 2 weeks in flowering and once during the last week.

4. Growth and stress-defence responses interact and contribute to overall plant health. Improved plant health can result in one or more of the following outcomes: increased yield, improved quality and extended shelf life.


HALO Growth Promoter

A collaborative experiment has been carried out with researchers at the NASA Ames Center in California to measure HALO Harpin Alpha Beta Protein effect on photosynthetic activity in a closed system growth chamber equipped for simultaneous measurements of multiple physiological parameters. After treatment with Harpin, there was demonstrated significant increases in net photosynthetic rates that persisted for days.

Figure 2. Harpin treatment of tomato plants results in increased CO2 fixation. Three week old Marglobe tomato plants were sprayed to run off with 40 ppm Harpin. Untreated controls (UTC) were kept separate during the application. The photosynthetic rate was measured with the Li-Cor LI 6400 over a period of 6 days after application. All measurements were made each day between 10:00 am and noon. Photosynthetic rates increased 19.8% after 1 day and 25.4% after 4 days.

Nutrients and Additives

NASA – over the moon with the effects of HALO

A HALO treated plant will have accelerated growth, early flowering and fruit set and increased fruit set. All leading to an increase in yield and a shortened time to harvest

Figure 2.

The finding that net photosynthetic activity is elevated in response to Harpin provides important insight into how HALO produces enhanced growth and yield. A Li-Cor LI 6400 portable photosynthesis meter is being used to assess effects of Harpin on various crops in laboratory and field studies. Measurements made in tomatoes, grapes, asparagus and strawberries have all shown increased photosynthetic activity in response to Harpin application. Results of tests – Figure 1. Harpin treatment increases daytime photosynthesis and night time respiration in wheat plants. Wheat plants were grown through antithesis phase in a closed system growth chamber (NASA Ames Center) permitting continuous measurement of photosynthetic activity. Photosynthetic rates were monitored both before and after treatment with Harpin. Baseline measurements were made to establish the pretreatment level of photosynthetic activity. Leaves were sprayed with Harpin solution (20 ppm.) 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the daily photo period. Days 1, 2 and 3 represent the days following Harpin application. See the peaks in increased light usage. Figure 1.

Nasa Conclusions – Harpin treatments elicit increased photosynthetic rates in diverse plant species. All plant species tested have exhibited an increase in photosynthetic activity upon Harpin treatment as compared to untreated controls. Harpin treatment results in increased net CO2 uptake and therefore, increased photosynthetic rate for a wide range of plant species tested thus far including wheat, tomatoes, asparagus, grapes and strawberries. Elevated photosynthetic rates were demonstrated using two independent methods of measurement in controlled laboratory conditions and in field conditions. Photosynthetic rates remain elevated above basal levels for at least four days following a single Harpin treatment. For more information, go to www.halo-harpin.com

Air and Nutrient Control


Air and Nutrient Control

Air and Nutrient Control When growing using hydroponic methods, the plants are grown in an inert media and the plant's nutrition is supplied from the nutrient mix. In fact a plant obtains only 25% of what it needs through its roots, the other 75% comes from the air in the form of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The nutrients and water mix you use in hydroponic growing are the sole source for a number of mineral elements. It is important that you use nutrients that are made for hydroponics and that the water is good quality - tap water is usually fine. This means that nutrients are a key factor in hydroponic growing. A complete and balanced formula is needed to obtain the best results from your chosen system and for your plants. In soil-based gardening it is impossible to know how little or how much of a particular mineral is available to the plants. In hydroponics we must provide ALL the minerals necessary for successful plant growth. We therefore

136

use feeds that contain all of the 14 essential minerals required. For these reasons ordinary soil based garden plant foods are unsuitable for use in hydroponic systems. However, hydroponic nutrients are especially good for use on soil based plants due to the complete feed they represent. In general there are 2 types of nutrients available to the hydroponic grower - a 'Grow' nutrient and a 'Bloom' nutrient. The 'Grow' nutrient is used for young plants, plants in vegetative growth and for plants which do not flower or produce blooms or fruit. The 'Bloom' nutrient is used for flowering and fruiting when necessary. Some nutrients are also supplied in a Hard Water and Soft Water formulation. In the UK most of our water is termed as being 'hard' and as such contains high levels of bicarbonates. In these circumstances it is better to use a hard water mix which has less of the minerals that are already found in the 'hard' water.

www.hydrogarden.com

All of the nutrient brands supplied by HydroGarden contain everything that a plant requires in exactly the right ratios to obtain maximum results. All the nutrients are mineral elements that are water soluble so as to be readily available to the plants in the system. Nutrient ratios are commonly noted as NPK ratios, each representing the ratio of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K). These are the three main minerals required for plant growth, but are not the only ones. HydroGarden offers a complete range of nutrient formulations. This includes single pack nutrients whereby the complete nutrient is contained within one bottle or pack, twin packs, where each 'grow' and 'bloom' nutrient is supplied in an A and B pack separately, through to nutrient ranges that perform specific functions at each stage of the plants growing cycle.

Nutrient Controller Air and Nutrient Control

AutoGrow IntelliDose

How to use AutoGrow IntelliDose

Automatically adds nutrients and corrects pH as the plants feed, working tirelessly to keep your nutrient tank in perfect balance Simple to operate. The secret to its simplicity is that the controller can be configured to suit various systems and when this is done all of the irrelevant settings disappear from the menus and PC screens. In addition to this, the controller can even be instructed to set itself up!

IntelliDose benefits: Built-in USB – PC interface with USB cable and IntelliGrow software included Simple to operate – with AutoSet Good looking and smart – the perfect companion for your nutrient tank Up to 8 part nutrient dosing with variable ratios Schedule to automate A:B:C:D etc ratio and EC changes

This hydroponic doser sets a new benchmark in the small dosing controller market. The IntelliDose is absolutely feature-packed to enable it to cope with just about any hydroponic system. Knowledge is power: Once you have used the PC interface you will never go back to a controller without it. The reason is simple; you get to see all the settings in one list – no more fumbling around looking for a menu screen. You also get accurate logs of exactly what happened – you can see at a glance just what effect each dose is having and if anything starts to go wrong you will see it immediately. In addition, the PC can sound an alarm or even phone you if anything goes wrong. Special functions: The controller can be set to operate with a different EC for day and night. Plants need weaker nutrient when they are transpiring in the heat of the day and stronger nutrient at cooler times. Now you

can give them exactly what they need. An “add water output” can be used to reduce the EC as required. The irrigation output can be used to switch on an irrigation pump periodically to irrigate plants grown in pots. This can also have different settings for day/ night. AutoSet may be used to initially set the dosing timing. (Just fill the reservoir tank with plain water and stock it up with regular solution – then select AutoSet). The system will perform a series of tests (by dosing and measuring the results) in order to automatically set the system dosing times. For standard 2 part nutrients, proportional dosing may be selected so that it makes bigger doses when it is a long way from the set point and smaller doses as the set point is approached. A schedule can be entered that automatically adjusts the EC and even the nutrient ratios over the entirety of the plants' growth cycle. Now, that’s intelligent!

The complete PC interface provides a new level in user friendliness allowing growers to easily choose the components they are using, set the parameters for use and design their own data logging. Once they have selected their components (fans, air conditioner, CO2, dehumidifier, humidifier, fogger, multiple light banks, outside temp sensors, intruder alarms), there are 3 choices: AutoSet by Scheduling: This is the most accurate option. You simply click on the scheduling tab and fill in the boxes with light on/off times, day and night temperatures, acceptable humidity and CO2 requirements. You can lay out your entire crop cycle in one setting, with the IntelliClimate changing your settings in accordance with your schedule. AutoSet by Growth Stage: As your plants mature from seedlings to full vegetative growth and then into harvest, you simply click on the “growth stage” pull-down menu and choose between five different stages: cutting, vegetative, early flowering, late flowering or pre-harvest. The IntelliClimate is pre-programmed, utilising years and years of commercial greenhouse climate control experience. Your plants will love you for it! Manual: This setting is for growers who like to tweak their settings on a regular basis, reporting on the most current growroom conditions. In this setting, you decide your light timing, temperature settings, humidity settings and CO2 ppm manually, giving you the ability to change it easily.

The intelligent growroom climate controller with USB interface. Controls lights, fans, dehumidifier, air conditioning, heater, CO2 or humidifier The IntelliClimate is a truly smart growroom controller. Unlike simple dial set controllers, the IntelliClimate continuously adjusts fans, heaters, coolers, multiple light banks, CO2 injection and more, in an intelligent and integrated way. This achieves an ideal environment, without wasting valuable CO2, based on past dosage results. IntelliClimate also decides which types of cooling and dehumidifying are most appropriate for different growroom situations. The IntelliClimate is designed to mimic Mother Nature. When a plant is grown outdoors, it will experience gradual light, temperature and humidity changes. The ramping feature preset into the IntelliClimate will allow for slow changes in temperature and humidity levels, compensating for the addition of artificial lighting. For example, when your lights come on, you have the option of turning an air conditioner on a few minutes beforehand to cool the room down. Also, when the lights go off, you want your room temperatures to gradually decrease. The IntelliClimate is smart enough to leave the fans and/or air conditioners off for a few minutes, allowing the room a chance to cool down on its own. Both of these options are better for your plants and your electricity bill.

pH Automatic Doser Air and Nutrient Control

AutoGrow Mini Doser pH

How Mini Doser pH works

The Mini Doser continuously measures the pH in the mixing tank and adds either pH down (acid) or pH up (alkali) as required to maintain the pH set point. The controller counts the number of doses and in the event of the dose count per hour exceeding a set value an alarm can be sounded. In addition, alarms can be set to sound should the pH wander outside user set limits. If the dose count per hour exceeds a user setting, the controller will stop dosing. The solenoid valves are resistant to acids and alkalis at a concentration of 2%, which is adequate for most small systems. Special chemically resistant valves or peristaltic pumps are also available for larger systems. The Mini Doser pH complete kit comes with a sensor and one or two economy solenoid valves pre-wired on a small mounting panel. Choose one solenoid only if you know your background water only needs to be dosed one way either up or down.

These are great little machines aimed at the budget conscious and those who don’t need a computer interface. Ideal for hobby gardeners, schools, etc. Even large commercial growers use them – particularly for water pre-treatment (pH) or if they have a trial area with a number of reservoir tanks.

Warranty is for 2 years providing the controller is installed in a clean, dry position out of direct sunlight and is not damaged either mechanically or chemically. Solenoid valves and sensor probes have a 1 year warranty providing they have not been subjected to strong chemicals or misuse.

The Mini Doser EC nutrient controller can work in units of EC, CF or TDS. The complete kit comes with a sensor and two economy solenoid valves pre-wired on a small panel. The controller continuously measures the nutrient concentration in the mixing tank and adds A and B nutrients as required to maintain the EC set point. The controller counts the number of doses and in the event of the dose count per hour exceeding a set value an alarm can be sounded. In addition, alarms can be set to sound should the EC wander outside user set limits. If the dose count per hour exceeds a user setting, the controller will stop dosing. The solenoid valves supplied are resistant to acids and alkalis at a concentration of 2% which is adequate for most nutrients. Special chemically resistant valves or peristaltic pumps are also available. The Mini Doser EC complete kit comes with a sensor and one or two economy solenoid valves pre-wired on a small mounting panel.

Odour Control


NOdA Odour Neutraliser Odour Control

Odour Control Unwanted smells and outside air quality can be a concern for growers and we offer a range of products for use within the growing environment to help control this issue. Carbon filters (see Ventilation Equipment) work by filtering the exhaust air using activated charcoal. This completely removes the airborne odour and outside particles when used as an air intake. Carbon filters will last between 9 months and 3 years dependent on the quality of the charcoal used.

We also offer ozone-producing products, such as, the Hydrozone which introduces a small amount of ozone into the growing environment, reproducing a natural freshness, killing unwanted smells and disinfecting surfaces. Now we offer odour neutralisers as well. The Odour Neutralising Agent (O.N.A.) range - available in spray, liquid, gel and block form - not only masks the smell, but traps and neutralises it, therefore, getting rid of the problem.

NOdA Odour Neutralising Sprays Welcome to the NEW, next generation NOdA odour eliminators. When you use NOdA you are not masking the nasty smell with a different fragrance, the advanced odour elimination technology traps and neutralises nasty odour, eliminating the problem. NOdA sprays naturally without fluorocarbons or propellants of any kind and the range now contains the great new scents of Crystal (notes of mountain breeze), Candy (notes of a sweet shop) and a sure fire hit - WashDay (notes of laundry & washing powder). NOdA Spray is environmentally friendly and safe to use.

NOdA – a range of odour eliminators – one spray goes a long way Neutralise unwanted organic and inorganic odours with NOdA fresh fragrances. Spray NOdA whenever you require a clean, fresh scent to replace and neutralise unwanted odours. Use against bins, kitchen smells, smoke, offices, pet smells, stale odours and more...

Odour Neutralising Agent (O.N.A.)*

The History of ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) starts in Australia in the 1980’s. A group of scientists developed a product that was extremely effective at locking onto odour molecules and actually neutralising them. This technology then spread to Canada and the UK in the mid 1990’s. ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) is the original UK formulation. Originally designed for industrial applications, ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) was developed as a treatment for potent odours from natural waste facilities, animal rendering plants and sewage treatment works. It exploits relationships between 3 processes adsorption, absorption and ‘Pairs’ Theory to create the final formula that cancels out most organic and inorganic odours.

Odour Control

About Odour Neutralising Agent (O.N.A.)

Odour Neutralising Agent (O.N.A.) Gel This gel-based product is ideal for larger room applications due to its controlled release formula, which offers a constant treatment of odours over a longer time frame. Simply place in your target area and take off the lid. The product effectiveness can be speeded up with the use of a fan to blow air over the product. This will aid the agent deployment into the atmosphere of the room but will use up the product quicker, so regulation is needed depending on room size. The product can also be decanted to have small amounts around a room, avoiding the need for a fan. Available in a 1 litre tub or a 3 litre jar, the product can be regenerated with ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) Liquid. For a 1 litre tub, when it is fully used up, fill with 250ml of ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) Liquid and top up with tap water (ph neutral). Shake well and leave for 1 hour to allow for gel reactivation before use. Please note, to keep the gel working at its best, make sure you shake the product before use and every other day to allow the neutralising agent to fully mix with the gel. Ideal for home or office and pet safe.

The product is extremely flexible; there are no limitations to its usage for odour control. ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) is available in 4 different versions to fit your needs: Spray – for when you need a quick localised fix for an odour. Gel – ideal for longer term deodorising of closed spaces. Can be used with a fan for greater effect. Solid Block – ideal for ventilation systems and small closed environments such as closets. Liquid – used for recharging the gel product or in its own right in misters or as a wash-down product.

07-320-405 07-320-410

Odour Neutralising Agent (O.N.A.) Solid Block ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) Solid Block is ideal for placing in internal ventilation systems to eliminate odours in office or household environments or used in small areas such as cupboards and closets or even cars and caravans (for larger spaces not in a ventilation system we would recommend the Gel). To use, you simply remove the lid or cover and place in the target area. The block works by surface area exposure - the more surface area exposed, the faster and stronger the effect. To regulate this, you can either lessen the effect (if in a small area) by drilling holes in the lid and keeping the lid on or for larger ventilation areas, you can take the block completely out of the tub exposing the entire block. The ‘Odour Neutralising Agent’ (O.N.A.) Solid Block will release its unique neutralising agent into the atmosphere to treat undesirable odours. Replace when depleted.

Lighting


Lighting

The reflector is needed to direct light to your plants.

Lighting Light is the most important environmental factor to consider, whether you are growing indoors or out. Depending on where you live and where you want to garden, the sun will not always be there for you. With the right grow light, you can grow literally any plant, anywhere and at any time, therefore making gardening a year-round hobby!

HID Grow Lights – How Do They Work? Based on proven horticultural technology, you need three individual items: 1. A reflector, which protects the lamp and directs the light to where you want it.

All HID lighting systems requiree n a ballast to run p. the lamp.

2. A ballast, which contains the components necessary to ignite the lamp and to regulate the current when the lamp is running.

Select a hanger to hang and adjust reflectors

3. A lamp. Horticultural lighting is easy to install and cheap to run. All units are supplied wired and are ready to use – simply hang your chosen reflector, install the desired lamp and plug the reflector into the ballast unit. Once this has been done, plug the ballast into a 230v power supply, via a contactor and switch it on. The majority of reflectors are designed to be lightweight and can be hung from a simple ceiling hook or hangers.

HID Grow Lamps – HPS and MH Sunlight is undoubtedly the cheapest source of light for growing plants. However, there are times when there is insufficient or no natural light available - for instance when growing indoors, in winter, or at night.

Choose from sodium or metal halide lamps and select a wattage that matches your ballast wattage

The High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps that we are most concerned with are High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps and Metal Halide (MH) lamps. HID lamps are very bright, require external ballasts and can be used as a substitute for natural sunlight, as they have a similar colour spectrum. HPS lamps are used by commercial growers, to supplement natural light and to extend the ‘day length’ that a plant is subjected to. This type of lamp puts out a ‘redder’ light and can be compared to the light of an autumn sunset. The addition of HPS lamps enhances flowering in many crops and are the preferred option, if natural daylight is also available.

164

Metal Halide lamps give off a ‘blue’ light which is more suitable for young plants and vegetative growth. www.hydrogarden.com

High Pressure Sodium Lamp


CFL’s are high-output flourescent lamps which run at lower wattage and generate significantly less heat than HID lighting. They are available in a variety of light “colours” to suit different stages of the growing cycle. We have a range of compact fluorescent lighting that offers growers the choice of low energy growing where heat or cost is a concern. Our Envirogro compact fluorescent unit is a top of the range propagating and overwintering unit. It features ultra-high output and compact fluorescent lamps that are powered by a dedicated integral power unit. The lamps can be easily interchanged from Cool White to Warm White, by simply screwing the new lamp into the same reflector unit. This offers the ultimate in energy efficiency, flexibility and affordability.

The EnviroGro PRO CFL Reflector can be used for side lighting or mounted over the plant for intense growing power and offers a low energy alternative to HID lighting units.

Lighting

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL)

T5 Lamps T5 lamps are long, glass fluorescent tubes that are available in a variety of lengths. During the first few weeks of existence, seedlings and cuttings can be rooted under fluorescent strip lights. These lamps provide much less light than HIDs, which is why they are ideal for this particular stage of a plant’s life. They promote developmental growth by supplying cool, diffused light to cuttings and seedlings. However, they can also be used for vegetative, low level plants where even distribution is required and supplementary flowering.

Colour Spectrum The range of light energy emitted from any light source is measured in nanometres (nm) and ranges from ultraviolet to infrared. This information is critical for the correct lighting of your plants. Certain plants and plant growth stages respond better to certain wavelengths of light.

Quality, Value and Safety

Chlorophyll b

Our specially designed horizontal reflectors direct all the light down to your plants, therefore ensuring a broad, intense spread of light. All PowerPlant and LUMii reflectors are made using highly reflective material that is anodised and manufactured exclusively for the lighting industry. The anodising protects against corrosion and is scratch-resistant. Some suppliers use low-cost flat mirror or other unsuitable reflector materials in their products, neither of which are meant for use in HID lighting. Mirror reflectors are not ideal, as they simply reflect the hot spots produced by the HID lamps, therefore giving a less even distribution of light. This in turn causes unequal growth or produces ‘hot spots’ of light and heat. Mirror shades should only be used for low intensity flourescent lighting.

Relative Absorption

There are many different reflectors on the market today. Some reflectors are more efficient than others when being used for specific growing environments. Reflectors can be made from aluminium, steel sheet metal or stainless steel. Aluminium dissipates heat more quickly than steel. The steel is either cold rolled or pre-galvanised prior to the application of a reflective coating.

Always use the correct wattage of lamp to the power selected. A 400 watt lamp running at 400 watt will offer better spectral output than a 600 watt lamp at reduced power. Other ballasts on the market claim that they are 400 watt or 600 watt, but when tested they produce less power. This is because some brands cut costs by using inferior components or by reducing the amount of copper in the windings – resulting in less power, less light output and smaller yields. When using LUMii ballasts, you can rest assured that the power stated is what you will get, no corners cut, just optimum growing results.

The LUMii Compacta and LUMii Compacta TIMA ballasts, available in both 400w and 600w, have been redesigned for improved quality and high output, and continue to boast fully enclosed and potted cases. As with all LUMii ballasts, you are able to get the true output that your plants need. Many ballasts on the market are underpowered to save money, but not LUMii! All Compacta units have digital ignition that is timed and intelligently monitors your lamp. It will not ignite old lamps that have a danger of overloading.

They run high-pressure sodium and metal halide lamps, with LUMii True Power meaning your 600w lamp gives a true 600w of power. The LUMii Compacta ballasts have the most windings on the market costing more to produce but meaning they will run cooler and more efficiently, offering a high power factor (pF). Some inferior ballasts use less internal winding, deliver less power and therefore less lamp output.

Digital Ballasts Lighting

LUMii DIGITA ECO Dimmable Ballast A fully electronic ballast

High frequency output – nature’s way

The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast is a fully electronic ballast. This technology is micro-processor controlled and works at higher frequency (hertz) than the standard magnetic ballast, meaning more light gets to your plants. It is also more efficient meaning more output per watt of energy consumed. The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast is dimmable and also has a boost setting for each lamp size, meaning you can take control of the light output.

Magnetic ballasts work at 50-60 Hz. This means the light output from the lamp cycles, and is lit only 50-60 times per second. The LUMii DIGITA works at almost 40,000 Hz which means the light is lit 40,000 times per second. This is experienced as almost continuous light output from the lamp. This is far closer to the natural frequency of light experienced by plants for millennia. This more efficient excitement of the gases allows for increased efficacy of the ballast. Simply put, you get more lumen output for each watt of electricity consumed. Over many lights this energy saving is substantial. LUMii DIGITA ballasts can be controlled to adjust light output to suit the conditions required with great accuracy, thus providing further significant savings in energy consumption.

Available in 400w/250w, 600w/400w and 1000w/600w/400w variants.

Ultra quiet The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast is one of the quietest ballasts on the market with no hum or vibration (this is common with magnetic or fan cooled electronic technology).

Ultra compact and cooler operation The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast is one of the smallest and coolest running available, we have achieved this by creating a component set that

How does the dimmer switch work?

Ultra lightweight

Although it looks similar to the non-dimmable ballast, the features of the LUMii DIGITA dimmable ballast gives the user the ability to control the light output using the phase controller. The dimmable has four settings including a boost setting - giving the user great control. For best results, use the correct lamp per wattage setting.

400w/600w

The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast is very lightweight, the 600 watt is only 3kg compared with 8kg for a 600 watt magnetic ballast.

Safe operation The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast has safety features built in that protects the unit’s circuitry if a short is detected. When the ballast detects an abnormal input or output voltage due to an old or damaged lamp, it will not attempt to ignite the bulb. The LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast is resin covered on the inside, helping to protect from dust ingress to the components and creating even heat distribution, meaning there is no need for a fan. This means the product is more robust and has increased longevity over fan based ballasts.

106mm

295mm

75mm

With the new LUMii DIGITA ECO ballast less wattage is lost in the transmission of power from the wall socket to the lamp. Better power management means more light to the plant and less energy consumed. The quality of the light produced is also a lot more stable thanks to LUMii’s power management software built into the unit that monitors for lamp degradation and power fluctuation from the grid, this produces a higher hertz rate and optimum light levels. The lamp is very quick to ignite, using less power at the ignition stage and giving your plants a full spectrum light source within 5 minutes (magnetic ballast technology takes up to 20 minutes for the lamp to come up to full brightness).

does not generate a lot of heat. Less heat and a welldesigned body shell means you can have less airspace inside the body, which allows the design to be smaller. In addition, less heat means more efficient use of power and better environmental control.

Helps protect and even out growth The HeatShield cleverly redirects light and heat from the central ‘hot spot’ created beneath all horizontally mounted lamps towards growroom extremities. This enables your horizontal reflector to be placed much closer to plants to increase light levels and penetration, whilst maintaining similar (often greater) areas of production under each lamp.

LUMii Hanging Kit and MAXii Reflector Kit LUMii MAXii CFL Reflector Kit The LUMii MAXii is a simple and easy-to-use Dutch barn-style reflector. It is an open-ended, highly polished and dimpled lightweight reflector, which gives an efficient and even distribution of light. Unlike others on the market, the LUMii MAXii includes a unique lamp holder that is adjustable and designed to fit all E40 lamp types. All earth requirements are incorporated into the lamp holder itself; this safety feature means that there is no need for additional components. A unique feature of this reflector is that with the addition of the LUMii HID to CFL Converter Set, it can accept a CFL lamp. The LUMii HID to CFL Converter Set contains a short additional cord set to convert the supplied IEC to a conventional power supply, as well as an innovative support device to assist with the additional weight of a CFL lamp and to make sure the lamp stays horizontal.

Dual Spectrum! For plants on a long term flowering or fruiting cycle, we have found it beneficial to use both a cool white (6400k) and a warm white (2700k) bulb within the same unit. This provides a more complete spectrum, and caters for both the plants ongoing growth/flower initiation (cool) and the continued fruit set and ripening (warm). Thus keeping plants compact and bushy whilst still maintaining high flower density and fruit yields.

It can be hung horizontally for propagation or supplementary lighting for season extension, or vertically for side lighting full term plants. The Everbrite aluminium reflector has a durable, corrosion resistant mirror finish that give 9799% reflection while maintaining the lamps colour rendition. The EnviroGro Propagation Light has a 2m mains lead and plug and two hanging hooks. Lamp information (when supplied): The bright Sylvania Lynx-LE lamps should last for an average of 20,000 hours, giving maximum output for 11,000 hours (over one and a half years at 18 hours per day). Daylight colour of 6500k. Using these 55w high quality compact fluorescent lamps is the most efficient way to obtain sufficient light levels using a low level of power. This means you get:

To propagate seeds and cuttings: We recommend the unit is placed 30cm (12”) above the height of the seed tray. If using with a propagator, ensure the lid does not come into contact with the unit. Use a timer and run on for 18 hours and off for 6 hours continuously, or as required. To provide supplementary light:

Valoya LED Lighting Lighting Valoya LED units are high quality, commercial grade lighting systems that are built to exacting standards in order to offer a long and stable service life. Whilst LED lighting is significantly cooler running than HID or even fluorescent lighting, an optimal temperature must be maintained within the unit to ensure a consistent quality of light in both overall output and spectrum. The majority of LED luminaire’s available achieve this by means of computer cooling fans, which can be both noisy and prone to failures. The Valoya range of LED manages to maintain a stable internal temperature without the use of fans by having more than adequate heat sink capabilities. This ensures not only a very stable light source, but also goes a long way to providing a long life span (>50,000 hours). This also means that the Valoya lighting systems have a very high ingress protection rating (IP), which make them perfectly suited for use in schools and research facilities that require this level of safety.

Specify the correct spectrum! Valoya lighting is available from stock in two different spectrums, AP67 and AP673. The AP67 is the original wide spectrum version that is suitable for growing and flowering plants in a full term crop. Recent studies have also shown that the far red part of the spectrum has a positive effect on root development and root growth. The AP673 version is a tuned spectrum that does not initiate generative flowering as quickly and although it can be used for full term growing is better suited to leafy greens or stock plants. Other specialised spectrums are available to order - please ask your retailer. For more technical information, go to www.valoya.com

Growroom Lenses and Light Meters Lighting

LUMii Growroom Lenses

Active Eye Analogue Light Meter

LUMii Growroom Lenses allow you to see and work in your growroom under more natural light.

Since light is the most important single factor affecting your plants’ life cycles, quality light meters are an essential tool in accurately determining if your crop is receiving the optimum light required for healthy growth. A light meter allows growers an accurate means of adapting to their plants’ needs as the light conditions change during a full growing season.

LUMii Growroom Lenses are specifically designed to reduce the glare from HID and CFL grow lamps and protect the eyes. Identifying pest and plant disease issues is even easier as there is no longer a need to switch off your grow lights. LUMii Growroom Lenses have a s pecially developed blue lense that corrects the orange hue of sodium lights. This makes the sodium lit growroom appear as if lit by natural daylight.

Reflective Wall and Floor Coverings Lighting

How does ORCA Grow Film work?

Unrivalled performance

ORCA Grow Film’s patent pending white plastic microfibre structure effectively scatters light from highly reflective crystalline structures within the substrate. The same principal is found in snowflakes, where the geometry of ice crystals reflects light well. ORCA Grow Films’ microfibre structure is naturally diffuse, a characteristic that is recognised by its highly reflective, ultra-matt surface.

ORCA Grow Film is 94% reflective across the full visible spectrum, averaging 94% reflectivity for all wavelengths that are relevant for plant stimulation.

Diffusing reflection is important for hydroponic growers because it eliminates hot spots and creates the even, efficient distribution of light that plants desire. ORCA Grow Film incorporates the latest reflective technology from the engineered synthetic materials field, similar to those found in solid-state lighting, flat panel TVs and PDAs.

The chart below demonstrates the reflectance vs. wavelength performance of several popular brands and materials used in hydroponic growrooms. Many products in the hydroponic industry are associated with false or misleading performance claims and this is true of reflective films. PET film products are marketed to hydroponic consumers with performance claims as high as 99%

reflectivity, despite historically testing in the low to upper 80% reflectance range in the visible spectrum. Manufactured to the highest standards, ORCA Grow Film blocks out harmful UV light with wavelength below 400 nm, it does not yellow, it is waterproof and both tear and puncture resistant. ORCA Grow Film is seriously tough and is 280 microns thick. Other benefits of this high performing film is that not only is it mould and algae resistant, it contains no halogens, no plasticisers and no VOC’s, giving a safe and clean growing environment.

Whether the surface is microscopically rough or smooth has a tremendous impact upon the subsequent reflection of a beam of light. Light reflects off surfaces in a very predictable manner. The microscopic geometry of ORCA Grow Film microfibre and pore structure provides a rough surface, offering each individual ray of light a different surface orientation. As such, ORCA Grow Film is a natural diffuse reflective material. Unique reflective surface As the diagram shows ORCA Grow Film is made from threads of a high density specialised reflective plastic, which are bonded together creating a unique surface. This makes ORCA Grow Film more reflective and gives up to 50% more lux than other grow films on the market. 500x Mag. of Microfibres

Utilising patent pending nanotechnology, ORCA Grow Film reflects 94% of light across the full visible light spectrum. Providing a consistent performance for all wavelengths relevant to plant stimulation.

ORCA Grow Film will not let you down. No light will escape and the reflected light maintains its original colour spectrum and wavelength, so there is no colour shift or iridescence.

ORCA Grow Film nanotechnology reflects light evenly regardless of the angle. The isotropic surface luminance reduces hot spots and does not have to be hung flat. It really is simple to use.

Independent tests show that compared to other reflective material on the market, ORCA Grow Film produces more lux and more useable light. No other film gives you more lux for your bucks!

Manufactured to the highest standard, ORCA Grow Film blocks UV light, is non-yellowing, waterproof, tear and puncture resistant, mould and algae resistant and contains no halogens, no plasticisers and no VOCs.

Ventilation Equipment

Growing Environment In order to minimise potential growing problems, it is important to consider the growing environment into which you are going to place your hydroponic system. There are many factors that need to be considered, but we are essentially referring to the atmosphere and air in which your plants grow.

Air Exchange As previously mentioned, it is not just the nutrient solution that is an important source of nutrition for your plant, but also the carbon dioxide that is made available to the plant in the growing environment. In a typical plant, water accounts for the vast majority of its total weight, with the rest being made up of ‘dry matter’. The vast majority of the ‘dry matter’ is in the form of carbohydrate, which is sourced from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide and then, converted by the plant. It is, therefore, extremely important to maintain adequate air exchanges in the growing environment, so as not to starve your plants of the carbon dioxide that they vitally need. In addition to this, air exchange also helps to control the levels of temperature and humidity within the growing environment.

Long-life filters (see page 217)

These factors are usually, but not exclusively, controlled by ventilation.

Ventilation and air circulation are vital in controlling temperature and humidity. Plants often grow best in a temperature range of between 18°C and 23°C and in a humidity range of 40%-75%. If you are unable to control these factors, you are likely to experience problems with your plants in terms of disease, lack of acceptable growth, yields and problems associated with various insect pests. When growing in an enclosed space, it is advisable to use both an extractor fan and an intake fan. An extractor fan will remove the moist (high humidity), warm air as well as other respiratory byproducts produced by the leaves.

Ventilation Equipment

Ventilation

This helps to replenish the carbon dioxide-deficient air and reduce plant stress. The size of the extractor fan depends on the size of the growing environment, the number of HID lamps in use and whether carbon filters are being used to help with odour control. It is recommended that you place an intake fan (in a low position) at the opposite end of the growing environment to the extractor fan (positioned higher up), as it helps to control both the humidity and temperature and introduces carbon dioxide into the environment. We supply a range of ventilation control equipment, including the RAM AIR-PRO Fan Speed Controller, which will control the intake and extractor fans. More complex atmospheric control products are also available, such as AutoGrow IntelliClimate (see Air and Nutrient Control). In a larger growing area, we recommend the use of air circulator fans, which assists in reducing the temperature fluctuations and increases the CO2 distribution throughout the growing environment.

CO2 – Carbon Dioxide It is possible to increase your plant’s rate of photosynthesis and therefore, growth rates and yields by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide available in the growing environment. Double the growth rates are possible by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide from 350 ppm (normal atmospheric levels) to 700ppm. We supply a complete range of carbon dioxide enrichment products (see Air and Nutrient Control), including sophisticated CO2 monitoring and dosing products. Remember that carbon dioxide is an asphyxiate and can be dangerous if levels are too high in the growing environment when entered.

MountainAir Filters Ventilation Equipment

MountainAir Filters

VOTED NORTH AMERICA’S BEST FILTER – FIVE TIMES

Long Life Carbon Filters from MountainAir 3 year life, go for quality and peace of mind. MountainAir filters are a range of filters which have been designed to give maximum quality, performance and durability. No other filter has been able to last more than 3 years of constant use so, you can be assured it will give you long lasting odour control. Its simple functionality contains complex interior designs using the most unique materials. MountainAir filters require little maintenance and reduce noise levels considerably, ensuring an effective and efficient growing life cycle. They also offer superior air flow when compared to normal filters due to the very low density, but yet high mechanical strength of ‘activated’ carbon used, which in turn gives better result and peace of mind. These special activated carbons contain unique chemistry, different granular size, shape, texture and hardness to offer longer life and prevent blockages, which will help maintain an all round cleaner filter system for improved durability. MountainAir filters are extremely economical, the bigger the size the more economical it operates, giving you a huge saving and more value for money. We believe this is the most efficient filter on the market

today that will guarantee to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). Supplied with 2 filter sleeves which are hand and machine washable. They are ready boxed, easy for shipping. Product data brochure available. For more detailed advice on carbon filters, see our READY RECKONER below. Why choose MountainAir? Superior carbon compaction = longer life and more effective odour removal. MountainAir carbon is non-uniform, allowing maximum tortuosity of air flow through the filtration medium to occur. This ensures uniform and complete absorption throughout the entire carbon bed over the life span of the filter.

It is best to suspend your carbon filter from the ceiling using chains and hooks, or our new filter stand. MountainAir benefits: Lasts longer

Carbon filters work best with a humidity of less than 80%. Over 85% RH they don’t work at all. Always use a fabric sleeve with your filter and replace it when it

Removes more contaminant Eliminates odours completely Reduces noise through its muffled design

MountainAir Filters use the highest quality carbon and under normal circumstances you can expect them to last up to 3 years. You know when the carbon within your filter has reached the end of its useful life as it no longer works. There are no merits in using cheap carbon.

*Max Air flow – This is a conservative estimate of the maximum air flow each size filter can handle while still providing 100% odour control. The limiting factor is almost always the fan. Some manufacturers provide very high maximum numbers to mislead. We base our maximum air flow figures on a decade of observation and research. Be aware that the dynamic air flow is most relevant to the grower.

We use virgin Australian RC412 Carbon, widely considered to be one of the superior carbons for air filtration. 65% CTC carbon – this means the specification of RC412 carbon used takes on board 65% of its own density in volatile airborne molecules (smell). The RC412 carbon has a very low ash content of less than 13% and is a virgin granulated product. The granulated form of this carbon means it can be compacted very tightly leaving no air spaces where organic compounds (odours) can escape. The RAM Pro Active Carbon Filter features a carbon pore size of 0.02 micron, which is very high in carbon specification. Basically, it means the carbon is far more absorbent to volatile organic smells and is more attractive to them making the odour element stick to them like glue and become absorbed. The carbon filling process used in the manufacture of these filters includes inline drying and dehumidifying to make sure the carbon is in peak condition before the filter is compacted. We also use special expansion foam on the neck making sure that the compaction rate of the carbon remains high at all times. Lower quality filters have poor compaction, meaning volatile smells can escape before contact with the carbon.

Technical Specification Pressure Loss Curve The air flow capacity of a fan is commonly measured in metres cubed per hour (m3/hr). Pressure within the ventilation system has a direct effect on the flow rate of a fan, so all fans will have a pressure loss curve contained somewhere in the literature that is supplied with the fan. Pressure is measured in pascals (Pa) and in all cases a fan’s maximum flow rate is measured at 0 Pa. Adding ducting and/or a filter to a ventilation system will increase the operating pressure and as such will lower the flow rate of the fan. It is critical that that you understand this in order to specify the correct filter for your area. As a rule of thumb, when you purchase your filter, make sure its cubic metre capacity is 20% greater than the fan output. This will assure you have the best filtration efficiency.

NOTE: Some filters use a sales gimmick stating you should switch the ends as the top of the filter gets used before the carbon at the base. When air is under pressure within the filter, this has been demonstrated to have no factual proof!! 38mm Carbon Bed

Can-Lite Filters

The smaller options are plastic filters sold without the flange allowing the customer to choose between 100mm and 125mm depending on the size of fan he intends to use.

Thermal activation In thermal activation, the base product is brought to temperatures higher than 900ºC. To avoid burning the material (the flash point of coal is around 570ºC) dry steam is added. This results in a very porous product, with pore sizes ranging from small mesopores to very small micropores - perfect for air filtration.

RAM Ducting RAM ALUDUCT Low Noise Ducting

RAM SONODUCT Acoustic Ducting

A 3 layer multi-ply reinforced aluminium and polyester laminated ducting with an encapsulated high tensile steel wire helix. This means it holds its shape very well offering less drag than competitor products, thus less noise when in use and less pressure drop. Individually boxed in 5m or 10m lengths. In the event of fire, no toxic gases are emitted.

RAM Combi-Duct Lightproof Ducting A 4 layer multi-laminated construction with an encapsulated high tensile steel wire helix ensures strength and durability. The black PVC outer is totally plant safe and is a strong vapour/light barrier ensuring extra air tightness over standard alloy ducting while still being very flexible. Due to the 4 layers this ducting, when fully extended, holds its shape with a seamless void delivering low pressure drop and no particulate clogging and low noise when in use.

Pest and Disease Control


Pest and Disease Control

Pest and Disease Control Pests and disease can have a damaging effect on the health of your plants. A disease can be genetic, bacterial, viral or fungal – the latter being the most likely.

This is also the case when taking cuttings. Always make sure you have cleaned your scalpel and board with ESSENTIALS RoomClean, otherwise you risk not giving them the best possible start.

When removing plants for cleaning, perform a preventative treatment with Bud Rot Stop before re-introduction to the growing environment.

Therefore, it is important that you employ good practice in your growroom to help prevent pests and disease.

Take care not to leave decomposing organic matter in your nutrient solution or any trays as if it is not removed it can cause depletion in oxygen. Lack of oxygen around the root zone is a leading factor contributing to root death. Roots need oxygen, so that is why it is important to get rid of any decomposing organic matter. In addition, roots should never sit stagnant in nutrient solution; always aerate it with an air stone or air pump.

Keep an eye out for insects, which may attack your plants. Always hang sticky fly traps in your growroom or greenhouse to trap any unwanted visitors. This will also allow you to identify and treat any possible infestation at an early stage. Avoid using inorganic chemicals whenever possible, especially if you are nearing harvesting. Some insecticides and fungicides are highly toxic and could have a detrimental effect on your plants.

Keep the floor clean and keep all algal biomass off the surface of your growing media, as this can provide the perfect breeding ground for pests. Growers’ tools often carry many microscopic pests, diseases and fungi that could ultimately destroy your crop. This means regular sanitary precautions must be taken. A separate set of indoor tools are easy to keep clean. Disinfect these after each use by soaking in or washing with ESSENTIALS RoomClean.

232

To limit outbreaks of Botrytis (But Rot) and Pythium (Root Rot), it is good practice to wash down all equipment, reservoir, walls and floors with ESSENTIALS RoomClean in a concentrated form and flush irrigation lines in between crops; then allow to air dry.

If you use an insecticide, be sure to use one based on natural active ingredients, such as Guard’n’Aid PestOFF; after all, you will probably be consuming part or all of your plant – don’t poison yourself!

Spider Mite

Thrips

Aphids (Greenfly)

Fungus Gnats

Whitefly

These tiny mites are difficult to see with the naked eye. They are devastating to a wide variety of plants. The first sign that your plant may have Spider Mite is speckling on the leaves, followed by distorted leaves and stunted growth. In the case of a severe infestation, webbing may appear. Spider Mites prefer it hot and dry, so it is important to raise the humidity around the plant.

They are very small insects that leave silvery brown ‘dry’ patches on the leaves with black dots. The adults are tan and dark with wings and are difficult to spot due to the fact that they ‘flick’ off easily. They deposit their eggs on young leaves and in flower buds and this can lead to shoot tips and flower buds becoming distorted if they have been damaged by the insects feeding.

Aphids – of which the most well-known is greenfly - are small sap-sucking insects that can be green, peach, black or almost seethrough. Often the first sign that a plant has greenfly or aphids is the appearance of white shells that these insects shed at each stage of their development. They produce a sticky waste called ‘Honeydew’ which quickly develops a black sooty mould that coats the leaves. This will lead to new growth being distorted or stunted.

Most species are black in colour and are very small (less than 1.5mm), although a few species may reach up to 7mm long. Their key identifying features are long legs and long thin wings. They lay their eggs in the root zone, the larvae hatch and then they eat the plant roots.

These insects are kite-shaped ‘white’ flies, which means they are easy to see on green leaves, but difficult to catch as they fly off. Whiteflies can leave a sooty mould on the leaves which can lead to distorted and stunted growth. In addition, they also carry fungus and disease.

Fun ngus Gnat Off

Nite Nite SpiderMite

Eradicates Fungus Gnat (Black Fly) Fungus Gnat Off is a high potency larvicide for black fly control. A unique natural product for the hydroponic industry and growers in general, Fungus Gnat Off is a safe, non-toxic means to eliminate fungus gnat infestations. Fungus Gnat Off is made using natural organic plant extracts that are suspended in a naturally derived liquid. This product is suitable for use in organic cultivation. Fungus gnats or sciarid fly can cause damage both directly and indirectly. Direct damage results when the larvae produced nestle within the root system where they devour the roots of the plant. When the root system is eroded in this manner, the plant has difficulty taking up water and minerals, resulting in the roots/plant dying off. Indirect damage occurs by the larvae spreading mites, nematodes, viruses and various larvae spreading disease. Young plants are particularly susceptible. Fungus Gnat Off contains the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, which produces a toxin that prevents the larvae from feeding. This results in their death and subsequent eradication of the problem. Fungus Gnat Off is highly effective against Fungus Gnat infestations, it is also: Non-toxic Fast Acting

Bud Rot Stop

BioBizz Leaf-Coat Lays a barrier against fungal and insect attack BioBizz Leaf-Coat 100% Organic Plant Strengthener is a ready-to-use product that can be applied to plants growing in soil, coconut substrate and rockwool up to two weeks before the end of the flowering period. It is made from natural latex which was developed to restrain evaporation. Within a few hours after application, a very thin elastic layer of 1.5micron, which contains the nutritious elements for the plant, is formed on the leaves. Its effect will last up to two weeks until it is decomposed by light or sunlight. BioBizz Leaf-Coat strengthens plants and gives them a powerful expelling effect on harmful insects. It also prevents damaging leaf fungi. It has a pleasant smell, contrary to synthetic and toxic products. It gives no irritations and can be used safely. BioBizz Leaf-Coat is extremely suitable for use as an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticides.

Eliminates Bud Rot (botrytis) Bud Rot Stop is a broad application leaf conditioner that conditions the leaf to ensure it is able to defend itself against fungal attack. Bud Rot Stop contains a strain of naturally occurring bacteria that grows for a short time (requires a minimum of 4 hours growth) on the leaf of the plant. During this growth, the bacteria produce secondary metabolites that work on one level by forming a physical barrier on the leaf surfaces to prevent attachment of the pathogens to plant cell tissues. On a second level, the lipopeptides form mixed micelles on plant surfaces that perforate the membranes of fungal Product Name Bud Rot Stop Concentrate 250ml

Used to stimulate a plant’s l b built-in l immune system, thereby h improving overall plant health and increasing resistance to attacks from pests and diseases

Controls plant pests by environmentally friendly physical means. Stimulates growth as a leaf nutrient. You can use CANNACURE when you have heavy infestation e.g. whitefly, spider mite or mealy-bug. Repeat spraying after 3 days and again, if necessary, after a further 3 days. Then weekly thereafter. Heavy infestation will not occur when CANNACURE is applied thoroughly to upper and lower leaf surfaces on a weekly basis, from the early commencement of your plant to harvesting time. CANNACURE is a very safe product and can be used without intervals between spraying and harvesting. Like any other foliar spray, it is always advisable to wear appropriate clothing although CANNA Research Laboratories have not discovered any type of skin irritation. CANNACURE is biodegradable and can be used on edible as well as ornamental crops.

With conventional horticultural practices i.e. soil, most bacteria are beneficial to plants in terms of breaking down organic matter, enabling the mineral elements contained within to be readily absorbed by the plant. In a hydroponic situation, these beneficials are not present, therefore the potential for problematic airborne or soil borne micro-organisms attacking hydroponic crops can be high. Microbial is a wide-ranging aqueous solution derived in part from naturally–occurring plant extracts. Microbial is nontoxic to humans, animals and plants and is totally biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Microbial acts as a micro–cleanser and plant conditioner, which cleans roots and rejuvenates plants. This allows the plant to naturally withstand attacks from common pests and biological contaminants like bacteria, fungi, algae and viruses.

Aquaponics


FishPlant Complete Systems Aquaponics

FishPlant Living Food Ecosystems Raise fish and grow plants in the FishPlant enclosed ecosystem to eat or to enjoy, the choice is yours. Ecological Educational and fun Healthy produce Raise Fish and Grow Plants at home Developed in combination with universities and leading horticultural companies, the FishPlant range brings hydroponics, aquaculture and education to your home. The technique of growing plants and raising fish together and creating a symbiotic relationship is called aquaponics, the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. You can raise fish and grow plants in an enclosed ecosystem with beneficial microbes providing the bridge that converts the fish waste to usable plant nutrients. When you feed the fish, you are also feeding the bacteria and the plants.

How do the FishPlant systems work? The system is based around a plant bed and a fish tank, both working together. The fish water feeds the plants which filter the water for the fish - all you need to do is feed the fish. The PlantBed of the FishPlant system is based on the ‘Flood & Drain’ hydroponic technique – the ‘Flood’ bringing water and nutrients to the plants roots, the ‘Drain’ drawing fresh air (oxygen) into the root zone. It is ideal for growing your favourite herbs and salad crops. The design ensures constant water circulation and helps oxygenate the water for the fish.

PlantBed – filled with inert clay growing media that the plant roots bind onto and in which the beneficial bacteria can thrive.

FishTank – which is kept clean and fresh by the PlantBed that also acts as a natural water filter. The plants keep the fish healthy.

What species of fish can I farm? This depends on whether you intend to eat them or just keep them for pleasure. While the principle of aquaponics is primarily to grow food, it may be that you prefer to grow ornamental fish, such as, Koi Carp or Goldfish and just eat the plant produce. If you want to farm edible varieties then you can successfully and consistently farm Tilapia, Carp, Perch and, with practice, even Trout.

You feed the fish, the fish produce waste. The waste goes into the water.

To find out more go to www.fishplant.co.uk

The water in the PlantBed rises until it reaches the overflow.

The water is then siphoned back into the FishTank until the PlantBed is empty and air gets into the Siphon.

The PlantBed fills up with water again and repeats the cycle.

278

www.hydrogarden.com

The waste water is pumped through a pebble plant bed that cleans the water for the fish. The fish get fresh oxygenated water.

The waste water sits in the pebble bed feeding the beneficial bacteria, which in turn feed the plants allowing them to flourish.

FishPlant is finely balanced. As you raise the fish they produce more waste, this provides more food for the plants, the plants grow larger taking up more waste product, cleaning the water for the fish. Fish and plants grow in harmony with each other.

FishPlant Plant Care Kit Make sure your water contains enough nutrients for your plants. The kit allows you to test for Nitrates, Phosphates and General Hardness (GH). Quick and easy to do, the kit contains dropper bottles and easy-to-read colour charts.

FishPlant pH Test Kit Maintaining a stable and correct pH (acidity/alkalinity) of the water is very important for fish health. pH should be tested frequently, and should be in the range of 6–8. The test is very easy to use - 3 drops into your test sample and match the colour to the chart.

FishPlant Fish Care Kit Monitoring water quality closely is vitally important, especially in a new system. Fortunately, it is very quick and easy to do with the dropper bottles and colour charts. Included in this kit are tests for Ammonia, Nitrite, pH and KH.

Growing Bed media Clay Pebbles are a popular hydroponic medium around the world. Manufactured in Italy, they are derived from a renewable and plentiful source (clay), and are considered an ecologically sustainable medium. The clay is formed into pellets and then fired in rotary kilns at 1200°C. This causes the clay to expand inside, like popcorn and to become porous - high surface area for colonisation by beneficial bacteria. FishPlant Clay Pebbles are light in weight, do not compact and are completely reusable - they can be cleaned and sterilised after use. They are also inert, pH neutral and contain no nutrients. They provide good oxygen levels around the root zone because the pebbles drain freely and don’t hold excessive water.
