Air Comfort – Use Anywhere You Want to Control the Environment

Soon to be available in North America, this little device has been on the market in the UK for a couple of years. I recently received a few to try and fell in love — what a fantastic tool. Don’t let its size or price (less than 20 quid) fool you; this little guy is powerful and straightforward to use. I hung four in the garden; one just above the canopy, one inside the canopy and two on the opposite sides of the room. I downloaded the app, named the monitors, and just like that, I had a graphical representation of the Temperature and Humidity in my room, in four different areas. It is always working, recording data points at intervals that are yours to control. 

The data is only accessible when you are within 10 metres from the devices. At the press of a button, it syncs with your device, and the up-to-date graphs are ready to analyse. The app only stores 100 days of data, so don’t forget to take pictures of the charts to compare one crop to the next, seasons, lighting changes, plant number changes, whatever! 

For the price, there is no reason why every grower should not have an AirComfort. And it is also great for monitoring rooms in your home as well!

New Branding for GHE’s Tried and True Flora-Series®

After the organic line, which transitioned to the new brand Terra Aquatica® in March 2019, GHE’s fertilisers and mineral additives will be available starting in January 2020 with new labels featuring the T.A. emblem, as well as new names that more clearly evoke their uses. This is an essential step in the transition that GHE has been working on for several months.

Flora-Series®, the brand’s bestseller since its creation in 1995, will now be called T.A. TriPart Nutrient® (Grow/Micro/Bloom), a more precise name for this professional-quality and tripartite fertiliser.

The formulas, as well as the product sources, will remain the same.

The kit contains a SuperLumens 600W Ballast, a reflector, and a Superlumen 600W HPS Lamp.

The high-quality Super Lumen 600W Ballast is very efficient and affordable, giving excellent value for money with outstanding performance and reliability. The ballast has the option of four different output levels that can be switched (250W, 400W, 600W and SUPER LUMEN) with a dimming selector illuminating your grow. The fanless ballast helps prevent any dust or moisture from entering the housing.

Maintain Proper Grow Room Humidity

Everything you could ever want from a reliable humidifier; the Gorilla Humidifier helps lift relative humidity (RH), reduces static electricity, and purifies the air. The adjustable output-volume allows for greater control of the humidity level in a grow room, one of the critical factors for a plant’s success. 

Use it in grow rooms, offices, restaurants, greenhouses, grow tents, or in any area that requires extra humidity.

20 YEARS AHEAD!

If you haven’t heard, there is new silicon in town: mono-silicic acid, and it is becoming one of the most talked-about additives in the world.  

Grow Genius 40% Mono-silicic Acid concentration is stabilised in a proprietary blend of ethanol derivatives that delivers a highly concentrated 3ml per 100L dilution rate. Mixes with any nutrient regime and can also be applied with a foliar feed.  

Indoors or out, plants grown with silicon are bigger, stronger, and yield more. They will also fight disease and stress better!

Not all silicon sources are equal. For a limited time, ask your local grow store for samples.
