New! Atami Rootbastic

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:06:01 +0000

Excellent new product to come from atami, customer feedback has been great, we definitely give it the thumbs up!

Atami Rootbastic, Rootbastic ensures a healthy and proper development of the root system of the plant. Following the successful and popular Bloombastic, Atami now presents with great pride a new variant, Rootbastic.

This high quality root supplement ensures an explosive root production.

This means a larger root system and many small capillaries causing the plant to absorb the nutrients more easily. Aslo Rootbastic increases the resistance of the plant which makes it less receptive for envirom,ental stress.

it is VERY concentrated and has a high NPK rating (3-14-3) so you don’t have to use much of the product at all. The dosage is 0.3mL per gallon of water and using any more than that would be detrimental to your plants

Atami Rootbastic is available in 100ml 250ml 500ml & 1250ml

New Range of Led grow lights now in stock!

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:55:00 +0000

New range of Led grow lights now available to purchase in store and online from www.hg-hydroponics.co.uk

Led Grow lights for indoor growing are now available in 135w 240w 350w and 700w versions

Led Vs Hps Comparison

135w led = 250/400w hps
240w led = 400w/600w hps
350w led = 1000w hps
750w led = 200-2400w hps

There has been a lot of false promised from less the past few years but it looks like the manufactures have finally got them selves in to gear and are producing great lights that produce great results, if you are aware of leds already then you will know they have always worked but in the past suppliers have promised results the lights simply could not produce ( down to new technology )

It looks like a lot of work, research has happened in the last 2 years allowing less to finally come in to there own market, after very good feed back recently for major companies, suppliers and growers we have decided that now might be the time to be finally giving leds that big push in to the market.

NEW! Budget eurolux 600w hps light kit

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 20:51:17 +0000

Eurolux Budget 600w hps light kit Our cheapest 600w light kit. we know other companys offer even cheaper options but we are NOT willing to sell anything less than quality or products we wouldnt use ourselves.

When you buy extremely cheap lighting… unfortunately its what you get, cheap components and cheap equipment not built to the required standards to save money. At hydro grow we understand hydroponics and the plants needs and we know that cheap 600w lights through testing and customer feedback that they tend not to be the 600watts you are expecting and thats not even mentioning the life span and lack of built in safety features of cheap lighting….

The bottom line is if you buy ultra cheap imported lights by non reputable manufacturers then you may save £20 -£30 but your end results will suffer 10 x that amount. Trust us! ( and if you dont get your self a light lumen meter )

About the Eurolux Budget 600w hps light kit

The Eurolux 600w magnetic ballast comes with a 1 year guarantee
cool running
Comes with eurolux 600w lamp
Comes with eurowing reflector with 3m cord
