BIOAVAILABLE SILICA

A fully soluble, highly concentrated, and effective silica fertiliser. Gro-Silic is made of silica in the form of mono silicic acid,  the only silica compound known to be bioavailable.

The benefits of using Gro-Silic are many:

• Strengthens plant cells, structure, and reduces the impact of abiotic stress.
• Reduces plant uptake of heavy metals, increases soil pH, and induces oxidising capacity of roots. 
• Contains boron that strengthens cell wall synthesis, structure, and lignification to promote growth and development. 
• Features molybdenum to improve plant response and resistance to cold, drought, and salinity.

When you hook up your new fan to a speed controller, the last thing you want to hear is an annoying, whiney electrical hum in place of where there could be peace and quiet. Rather than crudely chopping and splicing the electrical input to your AC fan, the CF Frequency Controller precisely changes the frequency of the input signal, meaning whisper-quiet fan control and a prolonged unit lifespan.

With a user-friendly interface giving versatile options to precisely control 2x AC fans via the remote temperature sensor, do your plants a favour and ensure you make this your next grow room upgrade!

Ducting is a crucial aspect of any ventilation system, although sometimes an overlooked one. A grower can spend a fortune focusing on fans and filters, but then sometimes neglect the quality of the ducting tying it all together.

The outer sleeve precisely wound over a metal spiralled spine provides excellent rigidity and an airtight seal. Available in all typical diameters and with options of 5m or 10m, Maxiflow ducting ensures all your hot air is safely and securely blown away.

Use this highly concentrated blend of three growth-promoting rhizobacteria with organic or conventional growing practices. Increases crop quality and quantity from seedling through harvest, in any cultivation system.

These bacteria work symbiotically with the plant by producing enzymes and other biochemicals that maximise nutrient availability and uptake, improving root and stem growth and increasing the plant’s growth rate and yield.

Tribus® Original can be used on seedlings and can be applied up to the day of harvest.
