The lamp’s enhanced energy spectrum is specifically designed to provide optimum light for plant growth from flowering to full maturity. The lamp is environmentally friendly, passing EPA criteria as nonhazardous waste. It is completely lead-free and contains less mercury than standard HPS lamps.
Grow With The New Flow
Midwest GROmaster, Inc.:
A new patent-pending overhead Ebb-Flo system was developed to solve two grower problems. Either they didn’t want to tear up existing floors to install new plumbing or they wanted the option to remove some benches to use the space for displays. The new Ebb-Flo system does this while still offering the benefits of the standard Ebb-Flo benches including savings of water, fertilizer and labor; lower humidity; lower disease levels; and less need for fungicides.
Extreme Sprayer
SOLO, Inc.:
With a heavy duty SOLO 25cc two-cycle gas engine and a high-performance, push-pull piston pump, the new SOLO 433 High Pressure Sprayer can reach a controlled operating pressure of up to 435 psi (30 bar) and achieves fine spray mist applications even at extreme heights. The sprayer is one of a new generation of “intelligent” high pressure backpack sprayers, which can achieve a flow rate of up to 2 liters per minute, has more than a 5-gallon (20 l) capacity and uses a 2-foot (60 cm) stainless steel spray lance.
