Lumileds LUXEON SunPlus CoB Purple
Customer success and market adoption of the LUXEON SunPlus 35 Purple and the need for even
greater photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) in a single device led to the development of the LUXEON
SunPlus CoB Purple (12.5 per cent blue). Greenhouse lighting requires deep penetration
into the plant canopy, which is achieved with a directional CoB. Available with 15-,
19-, and 32-millimeter light emitting surfaces, the SunPlus CoB Purple can
maximize PPF to as high as 350 micromoles per second. The CoB
portfolio complements the LUXEON SunPlus 20 and 35 Lines, which
offer a variety of colors to optimize the spectrum for greenhouse
applications. The CoB form factor also means that standard optics,
holders, and drivers are available to help manufacturers accelerate
time to market of their fixtures.
Divine Hydroponics Paradise Six-site System
Deep water culture hydroponics has been reinvented.
The Paradise Six-site System by divine hydroponics was
engineered with the grower in mind, with the goal to
make it easy for anyone to plant, grow, and thrive. The
patent-pending innovations include the ability to easily
expand the plant rows and/or number of sites, adjustable
plant spacing (18, 24, and 36 inch), and three points of
circulation (the most in the industry). It’s also easy to
assemble, drain, flush, and clean. The system features a
bottom-draining reservoir and double Mylar-insulated
site tops, for which there are two options: one 10-inch
net pot or four four-inch net pots. The system
is bottom draining with raised plant sites,
has a water chemistry distribution portal
and a water flow meter, and comes with a
seven-year warranty. The system is
also available in four-, 12-, and
18-site configurations.

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. SLF-100 can
effectively break down
salts, proteins, lipids,
calcium, and any other
organic residue that, if
left unchecked, could
result in system issues.
The goal with SLF-100
was not to produce
an enzymatic product that would target one specific
material but to provide a well-rounded product that
would tackle many different obstacles. 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 NPK.
Calcium (Ca) is a vital element for plant cell integrity. Acting as a secondary messenger, it is
necessary for the reduction of intracellular oxidative stresses and essential for cell signalling
and functioning. Calcium is immobile in plants and used up to alleviate stresses, resulting in
a deficiency that, though not visual, significantly reduces the potential of the plant for yield
and quality. Technology Calcium (Tecal) is an innovative Ca product containing an integrated
patented technology for inducing calcium absorption. It works synergistically by blocking the
inhibition of Ca absorption by cellular substances and by increasing the cytosolic Ca, which
is redeposited in the plant’s calcium stores, including the vacuole. Tecal effectively increases
Ca absorption, resulting in the strengthening of plant cell walls and an increased tolerance
to abiotic and biotic stresses. Calcium abundance by foliar application of Tecal improves
cell functionality and optimizes plant physiological processes for growth and development,
resulting in increased fresh produce yield, quality, and shelf-life.
