good to grow Oasis Grower Solutions Rootcubes Rootcubes growing medium is an engineered hydrophilic foam specifically designed for optimal callus and rapid root development. This cutting propagation medium was designed specifically with the perfect balance of air and water to encourage plant growth and get unrooted cuttings off to a strong start. Rootcubes growing medium contains just the right amount of starter nutrients and is an especially economical propagation medium. With a low cation exchange capacity, Rootcubes allows for rapid nutrient availability without danger of salt accumulation. It is pathogen-free, providing an environment that helps reduce disease and insect problems. Rootcubes growing medium is manufactured in sheet form, with individual cells shaped like cubes. Perfect for a wide variety of crops, Rootcubes medium is available in sheets of various configurations that fit conveniently into a standard 1020 plastic tray. Black Dog LED PhytoMAX-2 600 At 630 actual watts and 961 μmol/s total photon flux, the patent- pending PhytoMAX-2 600 LED grow light will outperform any single-ended 1,000W HID light. Covering up to 6.5x6.5 feet for vegetative growth or 5x5 feet for flowering, the PhytoMAX-2 600 can also provide an average 990 μmol/m 2 /s PPFD over a 3x3 foot area. Black Dog LED’s proprietary full-cycle Phyto-Genesis Spectrum includes UV and IR to go beyond PAR and maximize canopy penetration and resin production. It uses only the highest-quality LEDs from companies such as Cree and Osram to evenly cover the entire lighting footprint for unprecedented yields. South Cascade Organics SLF-100 SLF-100 is the only 100 per cent organic, OMRI Listed, and Clean Green Certified enzymatic formula designed with system health in mind. It can effectively break down salts, proteins, lipids, calcium, and any other organic residue that could result in system issues if left unchecked. The goal with SLF-100 was to provide a well-rounded enzymatic product that would tackle many different obstacles, not to produce a product that would target one specific material. It is effective in all phases of the growing cycle and is compatible with all nutrients, fertilizers, and rooting compounds. Thanks to a proprietary blend of naturally occurring enzymes, SLF-100 is pH neutral in concentrated form and has no added sugars or N-P-K. Bioline Agrosciences Biological Control Stick Sachets Amblyseius cucumeris, Amblyseius swirskii, and Amblyseius andersoni are predatory mites that control twospotted spider mites, hemp russet mites, broad mites, and thrips. Successful biocontrol for pests such as these starts early in the production process, so the best results are achieved when the predatory mites are introduced early. After all, pest populations are already established by the time growers observe symptoms. Amblyseius swirskii is for thrips and broad mites, while Amblyseius andersoni is effective for twospotted spider mites, hemp russet mites, and broad mites and has some effect on thrips. Also, Amblyseius species are the only ones that prey on immature thrips (the first larval stage), so prevention is your be
