CX Hydroponics Bio Balancer for Root Zone Health

Written by Web Hydroponics on October 29, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Regardless of whether we are talking about conventional gardening with soil and sunshine or hydroponic and indoor gardening systems, bacteria in the root zone is an important consideration for a successful harvest. Some inexperienced hydroponic gardeners like to believe that their gardens are bacteria free (because they are not growing in dirt) and prefer not to consider the possibility that a pathogenic storm may be brewing beneath the surface. In this blog bost, we’ll discuss the importance of beneficial bacteria and one of our favorite products regarding this subject, CX Hydroponics Bio Balancer.

Pythium and Hydroponic Gardening

The old “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” way of thinking can be very costly in hydroponic gardening because: in garden devoid of bacteria, the first micro-organism to enter the root-zone can quickly dominate the environment. If those bacteria are pathogenic, a crop can be lost within several days. Pythium, one of the most common root zone pathogens, can attack and wipe-out the entire garden very quickly.

Bio Balancer Encourages the Growth of Native Beneficial Bacteria in Hydroponic Gardens

Bearing in mind that it is virtually impossible to keep a thriving hydroponic garden free of bacteria and micro-organisms, the team of agronomists and chemists at CX Hydroponics in Western Australia decided that the best approach was to work with the native micro-flora that develop in each garden and encourage the dominance of beneficial and symbiotic organisms. The result of this research is Bio Balancer.

The Team at CX Hydroponics was searching for the Ultimate Beneficial Bacteria

The horticultural experts at CX Hydroponics were initially very eager to find the ultimate micro-organism – good bacteria – that could be introduced into the grow media of any indoor-garden around the world. This “super bug” would be able to dominate the vacuum, neutralize bad bacteria and work symbiotically with plant roots to facilitate the absorption of nutrients. The findings were very convincing in the lab, but, out in the field or indoor garden, the results were very inconclusive.

Overwhelming evidence pointed to the fact that foreign beneficial micro-organisms failed to perform in thriving gardens because they often conflicted with native micro-flora. Too much “noise” in the root zone often led to mixed results in studies and underperforming harvests. Stepping away from the search for the ultimate formula of beneficial bacteria, The CX Hydroponics team focused all attention on Bio-Balancer and creating the ultimate formula for feeding and encouraging the growth of beneficial native micro flora.

Bio Balancer is the Perfect Food for Beneficial Bacteria in Hydroponic Gardens

Bio Balancer is a synthetic compound that was developed to mimic the composition of the exudates of plants. As such, it is the ultimate food for beneficial bacteria. In using Bio Balancer, it is important to closely follow the dosage instructions because too much Bio Balancer can lead to an oversupply of bacteria that may over load the hydroponic reservoir and root zone. Clogged pipes are common in these cases.

Regen-a-Root,Wilt Guard and Bio-Balancer: The Three Amigos

On the other hand, the right dosage of Bio Balancer will ensure the right balance of beneficial micro flora in the root zone; beneficial bacteria will dominate the root zone and keep pathogenic micro-organisms at bay. It will ensure healthy roots, improved plant health and record breaking harvests. Since CX Hydroponics utilizes Fusion Nutrition technology , Bio Balancer is recommended for use with Regen-a-root and Wilt Guard by CX Hydroponics to create and maintain the perfect root zone for your plants. Fusion Nutrition is a suite of products that, when used as a system, produce synergies that generate that extra lift that increases production, improves quality and is guaranteed to outperform both conventional and organic competitors.

Here’s a video by the genius behind CX Hydroponics, Mike Biggs, explaining the importance of beneficial bacteria in a healthy root zone. We’ve met Mike at a few Maximum Yield Trade Shows and he is one of the nicest and smartest guys in the industry. He has a wealth of knowledge of hydroponics and agriculture and with it, created a great line of products in CX Hydroponics.

If you want a healthy root zone full of beneficial bacteria and the perfect food for those beneficial bacteria, then Bio Balancer is the perfect addition to your grow room.

Bud Plus is the Perfect Additive for Huge Yields!

Written by Web Hydroponics on October 22, 2015. Posted in Blog.

In Eastern Canada and all over North America, knowledgeable and experienced growers are using Nutri Plus Bud Plus as a powerful hydroponic bloom booster to get the most out of their plants during flowering. Manufactured by Floracorp in Canada, Bud Plus is the primary mid-bloom additive in the Nutri Plus lineup of premium hydroponic plant nutrients and supplements.

Bud Plus Powder and Bud Plus Liquid are easy to use to enhance your garden yield!

This unique mid-bloom enhancer for hydroponic gardening enables your plants to achieve extraordinary yields generated by specific chemical triggers in the flowering stage. For those who are have only a basic knowledge of how to stimulate maximum plant growth in bloom, understanding how Bud+ works can revolutionize your grow strategy and provide significant benefit to the bottom line yield of your indoor garden.

Modified Plant Light Cycles and Plant Nutrition Stimulate Bloom; Bud Plus Optimizes Flowering

In basic indoor gardening, most growers stimulate flowering in plants by changing their light cycles from 18 to a 12 hour schedule. It is also considered basic to modify the plant nutrient program and adjust the NPKs to a formula that supports blooming. New horticulture studies are pointing to the fact that specific chemical reactions are responsible for enabling plants to burst into full bloom; with an impressive 70% to 100% of plant nodes budding and flowering into full bloom. Bud Plus is all about consistently triggering these reactions and optimizing the yield of your indoor garden.

Bud Plus Delivers luxury Amounts of Phosphorus and Potassium to Stimulate Enhanced Flowering

According to numerous horticulture studies on hydroponic growing, overwhelmingly conclusive results point to the conclusion that elevated levels of potassium (in the form of: potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, and potassium phosphate) and phosphorus contribute to enhanced yields when strategically delivered in the early and mid-stages of flowering. By adding a generous serving of 12 ml per gallon of liquid Bud Plus to your plant nutrient solution (throughout 4 weeks of mid-bloom), elevated levels of potassium and phosphorus are made available to your plants. In turn your plants will pack on weight and explode into full bloom with an abundance of thick, clustered buds and blooms that translate into record breaking yields.

Nutri Plus Bud Plus also delivers Magnesium and Amino Acids

Bud Plus contains 7% magnesium, which facilitates the synthesis of amino acids and cell proteins. It is also contains 10% amino acids, which facilitates the assimilation and the migration of phosphorus in the plant, provides a higher content of vitamins A and C, and increase a plants disease and stress resistance to drought or fungal diseases.

Blossom Plus, Bud Plus and Final Drive Yield Extraordinary Results in Flowering

Unsophisticated growers can usually produce an average harvest with reasonable sugar and resin levels by using a basic plant nutrient for vegetative growth and bloom. By working with a complete and well-balanced plant nutrient program like Nutri Plus Grow and Bloom, and then adding premium (potassium and phosphorus rich) bloom boosters like Blossom Plus (for early bloom), Bud Plus (for mid-bloom) and Final Drive (for the perfect finish), a disciplined grower can achieve yields that exceed all expectations.

Bloom Final Yellow Bottles Review

Written by Web Hydroponics on October 6, 2015. Posted in Blog.

In the Bloom Final Yellow Bottles review we’ll discuss what makes this such a unique additive that every grower should have! Bloom Yellow Bottles from Agricultural Organics are fantastic nutrients made from organic based ingredients, mostly derived from plants, fungi or the earth. Often thought of as being a ’boutique’ nutrient line, Bloom makes products that will take your plants and flower to the next level. While they may be expensive, in our minds, they are worth every penny. Each product in the entire Bloom Yellow Bottle line contacts organic plant hormones, fulvic acid (one of our all-time favorite ingredients), vitamins, amino acids, rare earth minerals and natural bio-stimulants. Now let’s talk a little bit in this Bloom Final Review Blog Post about a very special product from the Bloom Yellow Bottle Line….Bloom Final.

Bloom Final is their finishing product and it should be used in the last two weeks of flowering (before you use a flushing solution) to increase flower weight and gain extra yield. It is our favorite product from the Bloom – Yellow Bottle line. They are not lying about their claims of ‘seeing results’ because we’ve seen visible results in two to three days. It really does make the plants “whiten” up and get nice and frosty. It extends the harvest time but forces the plants to push out more fibers and swells up your flowers beyond what is usually achievable in the last two weeks of flowering. This is an additive that is worth the money. It is super concentrated at a 1:1000 dilution ratio so you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. The one quart bottle will make 266 gallons and the 2.5 quart bottle will make a whopping 665 gallons!

Bloom Final is formulated from Triacontanol (the organic equivalent of plant steroids) and rare earth minerals. Triacontanol creates a massive final bloom of flowers that get nice and juicy. Triacontanol has a multifaceted affect that stimulates the natural production of plant hormones that are present during the flowering stage while also increases the sensitivity of a plants hormone receptors. Using no Plant Growth Regulators (PGR’s) and only all natural materials, Bloom Final provides crazy good results in the final stages of your plants flowering cycle.

Did you know? Triacontanol is an alcohol-based sugar that is known for being found in high concentrations in alfalfa.

Bloom Final Yellow Bottles Run-Down…

Visible results in 2-3 days
Contains natural Bio-Stimulants
Contains Rare Earth Minerals
Contains Sugars and Amino Acids
Improves Flower Quality and Scent
Derived From Plant and Fungi Extracts
Whitens Up Flowers
Increases Weight of Flowers

0-0-0 NPK Value
Guaranteed Yield Increase

This product is no joke. Bloom Final may be a tad on the expensive side but it is well worth the cost. We’ve experimented with every product from the Bloom Yellow Bottle Line and this particular additive is by far our favorite and in our mind, their best additive in the line (Bloom Ooze Yellow Bottles is a close second and Bloom Phat Yellow Bottles is a close third).

Here is the mixing chart for reference…

Bloom Final is available in multiple sizes…

CX Hydroponics Head Masta Higher Quality Yields

Written by Web Hydroponics on September 24, 2015. Posted in Blog.

A high yield is important in indoor gardening, but you also want high quality no matter how much you yield. CX Hydroponics Head Masta can deliver that need. A high quality yield can be very elusive and when a yield is increased by mediocre products your plants will have higher water content, larger cells, thinner cell walls and lower desirable solids, diluting the quality of your plant and giving you a lower quality end product. Various environmental and physical ailments can reduce the quality of your grow. Many growers get high quality at the expense of high yields or vice versa and it’s uncommon to get both a high yield and high quality. Head Masta, the most popular and best-selling bloom booster and enhancer in the UK, can solve your problem and give you both.

What is in CX Hydroponics Head Masta?

It contains essential organic acids, silicates, proteins and naturally occurring plant hormones for your indoor garden. Head Masta stimulates plants to produce more essential resins and oils and at the same time produce an increase in yield. Head Masta does not contain PGRs! It just works so well that people think it contains PGRs. In fact, Head Masta is an unregistered organic product. From what we hear, CX Hydroponics is planning on registering Head Masta as an organic product in 2017.

How does CX Hydroponics Head Masta work?

Head Masta increases the quality of your yield by stressing the plant to think it’s going to die. When a plant thinks its dying it throws its energy into production increasing resins and oils. Don’t worry, this is done slowly over time so your plant isn’t too stressed. You’ll want use Head Masta early in your indoor gardening process so it accumulates around the roots and causes the plant to go into a stress situation. You’ll notice an increased yield but you’ll really see a real difference in the quality of your yield.

How does Temperature Differential affect Head Masta?

Temperature differential is essential for a high quality yield. Night temperature should typically be 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit lower than your day temperature. If your indoor garden has the same temperature during the day (when the lights are on) and at night (when the lights are off), or night temperatures are higher than day temperatures, your quality will falter. Head Masta stimulates your plant so it overcomes this problem. It provides the balance that otherwise isn’t naturally occurring.

What should I know about CX Hydroponics Head Masta and my water?

If you’re a grower you should know that the right water balance is essential for your plants. While a water shortage is much dangerous than excess water, excess water upsets the plants internal osmotic balance which damages the quality of your end product. Head Masta can overcome this and restore the proper ratio of solids to water.

Here’s another video by CX Hydroponics explaining Head Masta…

Head Masta is one of the best selling supplements from the CX Hydroponics line, and that’s because the science behind it is sound and it works really well. No bells and whistles, just a quality bloom booster that will give you a noticeable difference. Bloom Enhancers are one of the most popular additives used by growers, and Head Masta definitely deserves a go on one of your plants in your next cycle.

Seaweed Nutrients for Hydroponics

Written by Web Hydroponics on September 17, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Although it is commonly recognized as fish-food or the black wrapping paper that keeps our sushi together in Japanese restaurants (personally I love seaweed salad…nomnomnom), seaweed is a magical renewable ocean resource. It is one of the world’s most important producers of oxygen, through photosynthesis, and it is overwhelmingly rich in iron, zinc, copper, manganese and boron, as well as more than 60 other macro and micro-nutrients. This rootless, free floating ocean plant contains all the wealth of nutrients from the sea as well as an abundance of powerful hormones that trigger massive plant growth and condition soil for maximum productivity. Seaweed has been used in conventional gardening for centuries; because of its highly malleable constitution, seaweed and seaweed extracts are now being incorporated into a wide range of liquid plant nutrients and additives for hydroponic gardening.

Seaweed Nutrients Provide Record Yields and Immediate Relief to Stressed Hydroponic Plants

Long ago it was discovered that fresh seaweed required time to break down in the garden in order to release all the vitamins, minerals, organic acids and hormones that supercharge plant growth and vitality. By first composting and liquefying the seaweed extract, gardeners have discovered that a foliar spray of this extract can make the all the richness of seaweed immediately available to your plants. Studies conclusively show that generous doses of seaweed extract – through regular feeding or by foliar spray – can quickly reverse nutrient deficiencies, reduce the impact of environmental stress (frost and drought) while generating plant yield and vitality that is unobtainable with only conventional fertilizer.

Seaweed Nutrients bring all the Richness of the Ocean to Your Indoor Garden

The richness of seaweed stems from the fact that it floats on the surface of the ocean photosynthesizing sunlight all day, while absorbing nutrients from the sea. Since the ocean is a giant receptacle for runoff from the entire planet, it contains all known trace elements and minerals. As such, it contains over 60 recognized minerals and various plant hormones, but it is not a complete plant nutrient. Although it contains a good amount of nitrogen and potassium, it is known to be low in phosphorus – a macro-nutrient required for plant growth. As such, seaweed extracts have found a place in indoor gardening as an essential source of vital trace elements and hormones to be used in conjunction with a complete and balanced plant nutrient.

Enhanced Hydroponic Plant Growth with Seaweed

In order to recognize the survival abilities of seaweed and the supernatural properties that it makes available to your plants, it is essential to observe that seaweed is constantly washed up by invincible ocean tides and eaten by fish. In order to survive seaweed must grow rapidly. Studies have shown that seaweed can grow up to a foot per day! The same growth hormones that enable this extraordinary growth in seaweed can increase the elongation and the speed of cellular division in plants.

When applied to the roots of plants, these hormones can trigger increased root mass as well as larger and faster plant growth. A recent university study in outdoor (soil-based) gardening concluded that crops treated with seaweed extract exhibited increased root growth (between 67% to 175% greater than untreated plants). Roots soaked in seaweed extract provided evidence of reduced transplant shock and studies on seedlings demonstrated faster rates of germination and greater survival rates. Further studies revealed that foliar spraying of seaweed extracts promoted earlier flowering and fruit set in addition to stronger and faster stem and leaf development.

Seaweed Conditions Soil and other Grow Media in Hydroponic Gardens

It was recently discovered that mannitol compounds in seaweed enable increased efficiency of nutrient absorption in soil and other media. Other studies revealed that seaweed enables speedy breakdown of sugars and carbohydrates while stimulating the growth of nitrogen-fixing beneficial bacteria. By promoting the development of these beneficial bacteria, seaweed is indirectly responsible for increased absorption of nitrogen and other nutrients.

Seaweed Nutrients increase the Shelf Life of Fruits and Vegetables and Fends off Pest in the Indoor Garden

The benefits of seaweed and seaweed extracts on conventional hydroponic gardens continue to multiply as every new study reveals another advantage of this miraculous resource. Current studies suggest that antitoxins in seaweed products (for indoor gardening) can have a powerful impact on common garden pests. It is reported that these powerful chemicals can repel certain insects, mildew and bacteria in much the same way it fends off bacteria and virus in the ocean.

Another university study determined that foliar seaweed extracts can increase the shell life of fruits and vegetables by preventing mold growth. Based on this and all the other compelling evidence, it is easy to conclude that any plant nutrition program that excludes seaweed supplements is surely incomplete. pure ocean seaweeds

Ok, now that you understand how important seaweed nutrients are for your garden, which nutrient is the best?

We carry Nutri-Plus Pure Ocean Seaweed Extracts, imported from Holland, and containing over 60 naturally occurring macro and micro elements; extensive amino acid compounds; Vitamins A,C,F, B-12; Gibberellic acid, Auxins and Cytokinins.

Trimpro Rotor vs Trimpro Automatik

Written by admin on September 3, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Should you get a Trimpro Automatik, Trimpro Rotor or some other automatic trimmer? What to do? Harvesting time is around the corner and it is finally dawning on you that you lack the man power and the will power to trim your harvest by hand. If you are like most of us, at this point you scramble for information – you scan the web with determination and ask around for the best solution in mechanical trimming equipment.

First things first, check out this Pro Video for the Trimpro Rotor to get a feel of how powerful yet gentle this automatic trimmer is…

Now here’s a Pro Video for the Trimpro Automatik…

Why a Trimpro Trimmer?

You need a trimmer that will surgically remove all excess leaves and twigs without damaging your valuable flowers or buds. As you discover that there is a huge variety of hydroponic trimming equipment available on the market, your next move is to figure out the processing power you require and cross-check it with your budget. Figure in your research, advice from friends, tips from your local hydro store and pointers from all the self-proclaimed indoor gardening experts online – like me – and now you are thoroughly confused…

Trimpro is the obvious choice for Automatic Trimmers…

Let’s clear the fog. When in doubt about hydroponic trimming equipment you must go with the most trusted, reliable and highly recognized trimming machines on the market; Of course I am talking about Trimpro. Trimpro Trimming Machines such as the Trimpro Original, the Trimbox, the Trimpro Automatik, the Trimpro Rotor and the Trimpro XL offer a variety of features and benefits all wrapped up in a state-of-the-art design with unparalleled reliability. They are the most trusted bud trimmers on the market and are considered the industry standard for clean, gentle, precise trimming.

This brings us to our next Question, which Trimpro Trimmer should you choose?

Now that we are clear that Trimpro is our answer, we can proceed with a few more questions. The following questions were posed by Jason- a hydroponic grower from Michigan: “Hi I’m interested in two of your trimmers; the Trimpro Rotor and the Trimpro Automatik. The price difference is not a big factor for me.” His main concerns were as follows: Which trimmer is the most precise and gentle on buds and flowers?

Which trimmer is the best for handling larger buds and greater volume? Which trimmer is fastest?? – Trimpro Rotor v Trimpro Automatik

With regard to flower trimming, precision and delicate treatment of flowers are one and the same. The Trimpro Automatik spins flowers around a powder-coated grill using airflow, while the Rotor works with leather fingers that rub and rotate the harvest against the grate. In both systems, Trimpro’s high caliber tempered-steel blades hoover below the grate and trim excess leaves as the buds align with the slots in the grate.

Some people prefer to have fingers to roll the flowers while others like using air pressure. There are no conclusive studies that prove one system to be gentler than the other. In terms of precision, both trimmers allow for variable blade height by merely loosening a few screws on the blade hub. All kinds of fine-tuning is available – all just a question of personal preference.

For large flowers it is recommended to use a Trimpro Original and trim the flower by hand. (Nobody wants to cut down a foot-long flower just to fit it into a trimmer.) On the other hand, smaller and medium size flowers easily fit into the Trimpro Automatik and the Rotor for speedy and precision trimming. When it comes to speed of processing, the Trimpro Automatik delivers results significantly faster. In fact the Rotor has about ½ to ¾ the processing abilities of the Trimpro Automatik in equal time.

Trimpro Rotor with Workstation — The new TRIMPRO ROTOR has been designed and developed at the request of end users who are looking for yet another gentle and efficient Trimpro quality product.

As you can probably tell, Trimpro makes a trimmer for every possible bud trimming situation. It’s time to stop wasting energy, money, time and your fingers and get an automatic trimmer. When these machines are used properly and well taken care of, we haven’t seen anything that cuts through volume at such a high rate. We love them!

Only Trust Grozone CO2 Generators and Climate Controllers for Indoor Gardening

Written by Web Hydroponics on August 13, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Don’t get me wrong, I love saving money on inexpensive products, but there are too many variables in indoor gardening to take chances with cheap, unreliable products; it’s not the right way to become a successful indoor grower. With this in mind, it doesn’t matter whether I’m dealing with odor control, climate control or water control, I purchase reliable controllers that may cost more than their imported counterparts at first, but they will repay dividends because they will last many years and cycles of growing. And if something happens, I want a product that has a long-term reliable warranty.

CO2 Enrichment is Essential in Optimizing Green Houses and Grow Rooms, but it Can be Dangerous

Almost all school children know from science class that CO2 is an essential ingredient in the equation of photosynthesis; all experienced indoor growers know that a key way to increase yield in an optimized grow room is to increase availability of CO2. This statement is perfectly logical. The only curveball associated with CO2 enrichment is the fact that it can be downright dangerous if a grower is careless. Many inexperienced growers are quick to pick up cheaper, more-affordable CO2 propane burners in order to “save” a few dollars. We often end up hearing about these growers on the late night news or in the local papers under the heading “Investigation of Grow House Explosion Underway” or “Explosion Blows Lid off Local Grow House”.

North American Made and ETL Certified Grozone CO2 Burners are the Ultimate in Reliability and Safety

On the other hand using safe and reliable propane burners for CO2 enrichment can provide huge benefits: increase yields by 10 to 30% while reducing growing times by 10 to 30%. For CO2 burners, I recommend the Grozone LP5 (15 000 BTU/hour propane burner) or LP10 (30 000 BTU/hour propane burner). These Canadian-made units feature an electronic smart valve which lights the gas nozzle only when necessary; this smart valve is monitored by built-in Honeywell components that reduce waste of propane and generate a shutdown if ignition fails or when required. Grozone CO2 Burners are built with unique collapsible enclosures which are protected by a high temperature coating. With all these safety mechanisms in place, Grozone CO2 Burners are among the only ETL Certified propane burners available on the market and they come with a Grozone 1-year, no hassle warranty.

Let’s look at the specs of their CO2 Generators…

Grozone LP5 CO2 Generator

The LP5 generator is a 15 000 BTU/hour propane burner activated via a 120Vac power cord. The electronic smart valve lights the gas nozzle only when necessary reducing waste of propane as regular standing pilot. The unique collapsible enclosure design enables space and shipping cost savings and is protected by a high temperature coating. The unit can either rest on the floor or be suspended to ceiling. The LP5 model will generate about 17 cubic feet of pure CO2 every hour of operation. ETL Listed. The accessory kit includes a 10-ft hose and gas regulator assembly, two “S” hooks, Two 3-ft chain sections and one replacement fuse (1A 250V Slow Blow) tied to the power cord

Grozone LP10 CO2 Generator

The LP10 generator is a 30 000 BTU/hour propane burner activated via a 120Vac power cord. The electronic smart valve lights the gas nozzle only when necessary reducing waste of propane as regular standing pilot. The unique collapsible enclosure design enables space and shipping cost savings and is protected by a high temperature coating. The unit can either rest on the floor or be suspended to ceiling. The LP10 model will generate about 35 cubic feet of pure CO2 every hour of operation. ETL Listed. The accessory kit includes a 10-ft hose and gas regulator assembly, two “S” hooks, two 3-ft chain sections and one replacement fuse (1A 250V Slow Blow) tied to the power cord.

Nutrient Notes: Vegamatrix by Kyle Kushman

Written by Web Hydroponics on June 18, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Kyle Kushman, famous cultivator and writer, has developed a veganic nutrient like no other in Vegamatrix. In this blog post, we’re going to explore what it’s all about.

What is Veganics?

Veganics is a natural way to grow plants without the use of any animal products. As we continue to pollute our Earth, the animals we grow for profit are becoming contaminated with antibiotics, hormones and pesticides (do you know what’s in the poop you’re using to grow your plants?). Not to mention, there is also the frequent threat of our food supply by cross contamination of dangerous pathogens like e-coli and salmonella. Veganic cultivation is 100% safe and non-toxic for all living things.

What’s in Vegamatrix?

Vegamatrix is 95% natural and organic. So what’s in the other 5%? 2% is synthetic and 3% is mined minerals. The synthetics are simply Potassium Hydroxide as a solubilizing agent for kelp, some minerals and vitamins B1 and PP, all of which qualify for organic food production. That extra 5% is needed to make the products work well and preserve shelf life. On the label it says the product is 95% natural and organic. Even though Vegmatrix is listed as OMRI approved, they’re not hiding behind an OMRI listing and disguising what is actually in their products unlike some other well-known nutrient lines.

What is Vegamatrix derived from?

Vegamatrix is derived from NON GMO soy and grain solubles which are fermented and homogenized. Plant extracts, rock phosphate, kelps, humic and fulvic acid complexes, essential aminos, macro-nutrients and vitamins complete the formula.

How did Vegamatrix get its start?

Kyle Kushman’s team worked for 4 years to create a Veganic nutrient line that is easy-to-use and suitable for growers of any skill level. It’s virtually non- burning and formulated so you can feed with every watering thus eliminating the guesswork to feed or not.

So what’s in the line?

The base nutrients are a 3 part system – grow, bloom and boost (cal mag). The additives are Prime Zyme Enzymatic Complex which gives you your enzymes, helps keeps roots clean and catalyzes all your unused nutrients. Amp-It is their micronutrient supplement and Hard N Quick is their foliar spray. Hard N Quick contains the only EPA approved PGR. This natural PGR is derived from 2 types of kelp.

Grozone Control: Climate Controllers and Cycle Timers for Indoor Gardening

Written by Web Hydroponics on June 10, 2015. Posted in Blog.

Good intentions and doing the right thing are often two very different approaches. This difference is most obvious in the arena of climate controllers and cycle timers for indoor gardening. With technology, we have the ability and the responsibility to control every element of a grow room to care for our plants. (Elements include: temperature, humidity, CO2, oxygen, water, pH, plant nutrient strength, ventilation, light and pests). In managing all the elements of a hydroponic indoor garden, one fact stands out as an undeniable and unforgiving truth: “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” This means that any weakness or oversight in your grow room will have a significant impact on your plant health and crop yield – regardless of outstanding management of all other elements.

Cheap Cycle Timers and Climate Controllers can have Expensive Consequences in your Garden

With climate controllers for indoor gardening, good intentions means setting up a complete grow room and implementing strategies to manage most every variable properly. The problem with these good intentions is that, most often, the one variable that is overlooked or is the one that cripples your garden. Good intentions means buying a cheap cycle timer that fails after a couple feed cycles. Good intentions also means cooking your plants by buying an unreliable high-temp shut-off controller to manage your lights. Good intentions and cheap CO2 controllers can lead to burning rooms and exploding CO2 burners.

Grozone Control has the Lowest Return Rate for Climate Controllers in Indoor Gardening

In hydroponics and indoor gardening the margin for error is close to zero. Good intentions may help you sleep at night, but only diligent management and reliable climate controllers and cycle timers will ensure healthy plants and consistent harvests. With this reliability ethic in mind, the team of engineers at Grozone Control in Quebec, Canada set out to design an entire line of climate controllers and cycle timers that – above all – manage temperature, humidity, CO2, lights, and plant feeding and watering with the lowest failure rate in the industry.

Grozone Control was inspired by shortcomings from CAP, Growing Innovations and Titan

Inspired mostly by a shortage of options in reliable hydroponic cycle timers and climate controllers, the team at Grozone Control set out to do what C.A.P. (R&M), Growing Innovations, Plug-N-Grow, Sentinel and Titan (Sunlight Supply) had failed to do. They know that garden health and crop yield are directly related to successful management of all the elements of your indoor garden. Plants can’t tell if everything set-up right or if you are using the best equipment. But, they will quickly let you know when something is wrong or if you’re unreliable equipment fails.

If you are a serious grower, you must not work with any controller that offers anything less than the absolute confidence to walk away from your valuable garden. Grozone Controllers were designed to follow this creed and give you a fully-functional, climate-controlled grow area with CO2, ventilation, temperature, humidity, automated watering, feeding and lights.
