good to grow Nanolux DE Chill The Nanolux DE Chill is the first DE commercial overlap fixture of its type on the market. The DE Chill is designed with an on-board ballast, is air cooled, and comes NCCS APP-ready. The air-cooled design removes up to 60 per cent of heat load in grow facility environments. This greatly reduces the air conditioning required to maintain the growing environment at desired temperatures. The fully enclosed design uses an optical quality glass lens, which only reduces light output by six per cent. This six per cent reduction is easily offset by the ability to lower your lights closer to your plants and therefore raising light intesities far above 20 per cent. If left at the same height, one would only require 104 lights in a facility that would regularly require 100 open-style DE lights. The 4,000 watts required to run the four additional lights and the small wattage draw for exhaust fans is minor compared to the savings from lower electrical consumption required to A/C the growroom. Chikamasa B500SKF Antibacterial Trim Scissors This new antibacterial Chikamasa is at the cutting edge of crop production and professional dried flower manicuring. In 2014, market research in Humboldt County, California led to Chikamasa and Dazey’s Supply (their US distributor) to envision and create the B500SKF, their now widely popular bonsai trim scissors with a curved blade. “Inspired” is the only word to describe the creation of these delicately sophisticated cloning and trim scissors. Equipped with a lab tested antibacterial coating, the B500SKF prevents the spread of 90 per cent of germs and bacteria including E. coli and staphylococcus aureus. This equals less contamination during propagation, which in turn results in a cleaner, safer product for end users. Progressive farms, processors, and propagation enthusiasts can all appreciate the delicate precision of Chikamasa’s elite scissors line.
