Factory calibrated, the Bluelab Truncheon is completely waterproof. The Bluelab Truncheon measures the nutrient strength of a solution. It is essential when growing hydroponics to KNOW what the strength of the solution is before feeding your plants AND while they are growing. The Bluelab PH Truncheon with it’s easy to read illuminated display, onetouch calibration system, super clear instructions and no buttons to push, makes measuring pH a whole lot simpler.You’ve asked for it... Bluelab built it! The flashing lights you love so much; the easiest calibration system ever; reliability only Bluelab products can provide; the longest lasting replaceable probe on the market; auto-on and off just like the Bluelab EC Truncheon; Automatic Temperature Compensation; a scale of 2.0 pH through 10.9 pH and it’s available worldwide. The Bluelab pH Truncheon carries a 3-year meter warranty and a 1-year warranty on the replaceable probe. The Bluelab Combo Meter is a conductivity, pH and temperature meter all in one. It comes with a pH probe and conductivity and temperature probe, which are simply placed into the solution and the selected reading is displayed on screen. As the Bluelab Combo Meter is portable and does not require a power supply to operate, it can be used anytime and anywhere to help you manage your crops daily nutrient requirements. Calibration of the pH is very easy, using the push buttons on the meter and fresh Bluelab calibration solutions. Conductivity and temperature do not need to be calibrated as this is locked in during manufacture. The Bluelab Combo Meter gives you the added benefit of being able to select the display options for °C or °F and EC, CF or PPM. Call in and see us for a Bluelab demonstration in our live indoor garden. You’ll find us straight in front of Amsterdam Central Station at Prins Hendrikkade 10-11. Website: www.dampkringshop.com
-Õ«iÀ v>ÃÌÊÌÀ }ÊÜ Ì Ê Ì iÊ iÜiÃÌÊ-ÌÀ ««iÀÊ For many years the Swiss industrial trimming machines from Strippers have had a high reputation for speed and reliability. After many years of continuous development of the successful The Big One model, there is now The Medium One, so that now every grower can profit from the ease of Strippers trimmers.
The fact that with all current carbon filters there is one thing or the other wrong with them was the motivation for the design of a new type of carbon filters, the Carboriginal air filters. The aim: to combine all the qualities of a top quality carbon filter and at the same time overcoming the known disadvantages of existing carbon filters. Here are the advantages spelled out in a part-by-part comparison: the Low Density-carbon has more air passages in it and therefore a greater filter capacity. As a result they last longer before they become saturated, and they are very well suited for use in a damp environment. The perforations in the steel outer wall are bigger, so the air suction unit has to work less hard. Wearing out more slowly also means a better return on the investment. The climate in the space in which they are used is also more easy to regulate. Carboriginal filters are designed so as to be able to be used in two ways. On the one hand they can be used as a suction filter, and on the other as an expulsion filter. The filter fabric is glued to the interior wall. This means that movement during its filling up is eliminated. By vibrating the carbon granules, more carbon is packed into a single filter and leakage due to trapped air is pretty much impossible. The filters are equipped with a springy foam ring that holds the contents of the filters even more securely in place. Carboriginal air filters have a maximum length of 1 metre and a maximum diameter of 50 cms, constructed from a single piece of steel. They have a larger capacity and are stronger and lighter than existing carbon filters of 1.5 metres in length. Thanks to this they are more easy to work with. On the underside of the larger filters is fixed a metal, tapering spigot. This “cone”, fashioned from a single steel plate, ensures a proportional air distribution, which in turn thereby prevents premature saturation. The strengthened, metal rim also ensures that there is considerably less damage done during transport and mounting. The curved edge of the rim prevents the flexible hose from coming loose. The filters are available in all common sizes and packed in an airtight, plastic protective sleeve and a sturdy cardboard box that is equipped with pre-punched handles that make lifting or moving a lot easier. Without doubt it is fair to call Carboriginal air filters the best and most complete carbon filters that are currently available.

Õ> > }Ê Each new season, bat guano proves itself anew as a trusty ally of the ecologically-minded cannabis grower. This product ensures in the most natural way that your plants will have access to royal quantities of the primary nutrients, enzymes and micro-elements they need for a successful bloom.
The new Medium Stripper is much smaller in comparison with the Big Stripper, as well as quieter and almost half the price, yet it still has the industrialstrength reliability and lifespan that have come to be associated with Strippers. Naturally the machine has been thoroughly tested for safety and has been awarded a consumer safety kite mark. There is also a bag that comes with the Medium Stripper that attaches to catch the trim waste, and the user can vary the trimming speed. The Big One Stripper is already available for hire at various outlets around the country, and given the qualities of The Medium One, it surely cannot be long before your grow shop is stocking it. Check the demonstration film clips at www.growside.com and see for yourself how much better the Strippers work. Grow shop owners please note: for prices, information or a demonstration make contact with the Growside wholesalers in Maastricht.

Guanokalong is created from select sources that create a feed of first class quality. It comes from Indonesia, where the bats feed on forest fruit and create a dung that is ideal or cultivation of cannabis. After top grower Soma recommended Guanokalong, there was a surge in the brand’s popularity, but the truth is that it had long before been a firm favourite with many growers on account of the refined, sweet taste that Guanokalong gives to plants fed on it. Guanokalong is available in two different varieties; Guanokalong in granule form is ideal for mixing with soil because they dissolve slowly, thanks to which they will provide nutrient for the duration of the grow cycle. Guanokalong in powder form ensures a rapid uptake. One way of serving it to the plants is by spreading a very fine layer of it over the surface of the substrate and then watering. Another way is by dissolving it in warm water and then irrigating the plants with the solution. Guanokalong is also available in liquid form for use as a supplement to the regular nutrients you give. www.guanokalong.nl
