good to grow Autopilot CO 2 Generators from Hydrofarm A Hydrofarm exclusive, Autopilot CO 2 Generators provide and maintain the carbon dioxide levels needed to meet maximum growing potential and cost very little to run. Safe and easy to operate, these highly reliable CO 2 generators are equipped with a safety feature that shuts off the gas source if the unit tips over. Autopilot CO 2 Generators are available in both propane and natural gas models, along with high- altitude versions in three sizes: four-burner, eight-burner, and 10-burner. They feature a solid-state electronic ignition module, which eliminates the need for a pilot light. NovaGreen “TKO” Phosphite 0-29-26 NovaGreen’s “TKO” PHOSPHITE 0-29-26 is the nutrient-packed knockout punch growers need in their arsenal. This solution stimulates growth, boosts plant immunity, and increases yield. TKO is a super water-soluble and highly concentrated phosphorous and potassium (P/K) solution that’s more effective than traditional granular fertilizers. Unlike other products that use phosphates, TKO uses smaller phosphites, which result in improved plant uptake capabilities and minimize product waste. TKO also quickly improves P/K imbalances and helps growers produce bigger, stronger, and heavier flowers. In a recent Growth Products study testing TKO’s effectiveness, the product reduced the incidence of downy mildew on cucumbers and squash by 68 per cent over the control group. When paired with Bravo Weather Stik, it reduced the incidence by 76 per cent over the control group. Versatile TKO can be used in soil and soilless mixes, inside or outside, as a foliar spray, in hydroponics and constant feed systems. TKO safe for the environment and workers. Grower's Choice 630W Double- ended CMH Grow Lamp Upgraded Flo-N-Gro Systems Flo-N-Gro hydroponic growing systems continue to evolve as new features are developed, like the innovative bottom drain that is now included in all Flo- N-Gro buckets. A distinctive notch in the bottom of the bucket captures every bit of water, which results in total drainage, eliminates standing water, and makes cleaning easier and more effective. The built-in bulkhead fitting in the bottom drain is ideally suited to Hydro Flow’s ½- or ¾-inch tub outlet fitting. It easily screws in and requires only a single washer for a leak- proof seal. This built-in tub outlet bulkhead is threaded in such a way that it allows the fittings to screw in and tighten, leaving the fitting in the optimum operating orientation. The bottom of the bucket has been elevated off the floor, which keeps the bucket clear of the floor and prevents the root zone water temperature from being affected by the floor temperature. Introducing the industry’s first 4K double-ended CMH bulb. The Grower’s Choice 4K CMH bulb runs in any double-ended, high-frequency ballast; just dim it down to 600 watts. Now, growers can enjoy all the benefits of costly CMH systems by simply switching out the bulb in their existing fixture. Thanks to our proprietary spectrum, the Grower’s Choice CMH 4K bulb offers an unbeatable CRI of 98, making it the closest solution to sunlight available on the market. The 4K bulb is a perfect veg bulb, offering thicker branches, tighter node spacing, and bushier growth, which leads to higher yields. With this incredible new product, you get the efficiency of a DE system and the spectral quality of a CMH combined into one. 46 tapped in
