2-part Optimum Hydroponix® Coco Nutrient

Introducing a new two-part fertilizer designed specially for growing in coir.

• Balanced formula for optimum growth
• Easy to follow directions
• Optimum quality at a reasonable price

This nutrient formula is derived from Optimum’s many years of experience developing specialty fertilizers. It is perfectly balanced for growing in coir or coco fiber, a natural material derived from the outer husks of coconuts.

Optimum Hydroponix® for coco supplies all the required nutrients in the proper ratios to plants grown in a variety of coir or coco fiber based growing media. It is available in a 2-part Grow and a 2-part Flowering formula.

The 2-part Grow formula is designed for use from the earliest stages of plant growth until the flowering stage begins. (For non flowering plants, use throughout the plant's life cycle.) For flower and fruit bearing plants, switch to the 2-part Flowering formula as the flowering phase begins and use to maturity or harvest.

Manufactured using laboratory grade mineral elements, pure osmotic water and pH buffers to ensure optimum availability of all nutrients.

Available in 4 formats: 1 litre, 4 litres, 10 litres and 20 litres.

Aerococo - PlantOasis
AeroCoco is made of 90% graded coco fibers combined with 10% perlite to create a superior growing medium that is pre-rinsed and ready to use. The result is an optimal water to air ratio, giving plants an ideal growing environment. Aerococo is pH neutral and has low salt content. The 100% organic coco fibre is manufactured from coco husks an environmentally friendly, renewable resource. AeroCoco is reusable and can be recycled as an outdoor soil conditioner. 50L
Purple Maxx
Works well in soil or hydro, indoors or out. A proprietary blend of organic acids and amino acids that directs nutrients toward flower and colour development. Works well with your favorite nutrients.
 
Gravity
Kelp-based nutrient component with added signaling compounds that force flowers toward complete development at an accelerated rate by increasing cell division. No more slow finishes. A little goes a long way. Just 1 or 2 treatments in late bloom. Works with all popular nutrients.
BushMaster
BushMaster speed-shifts plants into bloom by eliminating the stretch phase of the growth cycle. Plants finish 7-10 days sooner. Expert growers are using BushMaster as a shape-shifter. By applying early in the grow cycle, plants can develop tight baseball-shaped or popsicle-shaped clusters of flowers so more plants can be grown in a smaller area. 
Brix Plus
Brix Plus by Green Planet is a unique formula designed to achieve maximum flowering. Scientifically designed using only the best ingredients, Brix Plus is readily available for direct absorption into your favorite flowering plant. This 100% totally organic product contains naturally derived active ingredients. 1L, 4L
SugarDaddy
Supplies essential components in a rapidly available form to enhance the fragrance and essential oil production of flowers and fruits during all stages of plant growth. Suitable for use in soil, soilless and hydroponic growing media. Fully compatible for use with any premium quality soluble fertilizer. 1L, 4L, 10L, 20L
 

Adjust-A-Wings Reflectors
Considered one of the best reflectors available on the market. Made from high quality materials including glass-coated flexible aluminium (95% reflective) and colour-bonded spring steel (indestructible). These precision-tooled reflectors are designed to provide years of excellent service. The "minimalist" design does not require reflector end-plates to maintain its shape; therefore, airflow around the lamp and wings is uninhibited, significantly reducing heat buildup within the reflector and the entire grow-room, producing a "cool" broad uniform spread of light, with unmatched power and efficiency, for a wide range of applications.


Merlin Garden Pro®
When starting with a clean base of pure water is important to your garden, use this high-flow reverse osmosis system. Removes 95% of chlorine, hardness (calcium and magnesium), excessive minerals (iron) and other contaminants. Produces up to 114 litres (30 gal) per hour or 2,839 litres (750 gal) per day (based on 25º C, 50 psi, 750 ppm feed water). Wastes 40% less water than other RO systems. Everything is included in the box to start producing bottle quality water for your plants. Exclusive configuration for hydroponics and gardening. Easy to set up. Comes with complete instructions.
 
Tall Blue®
The Tall Blue® pre-filter unit provides protection for the Merlin-Garden Pro® RO system. Removes up to 99% of chlorine and 90% of sediment, rust, silt, etc. Filters chloramines and particulates down to 5 microns. Recommended when Merlin-Garden Pro® is producing more than 530 litres (140 gal) of RO water per week avg. Essential for protecting Merlin-Garden Pro’s® RO membranes by producing ultra clean feed water. Extends the life of the Merlin-Garden Pro’s® pre-filter by 3 times, allowing for less frequent changes - about every 17,000 litres  (4,500 gal) of RO water or 6-9 months.
StealthRO 200
Maximize nutrient uptake and minimize nutrient lock-out with this easy to use reverse osmosis system. Produces up to757 litres (200 gallons) per day of ultra pure, low ppm water. Removes 98%+ of chlorine and other contaminants. Wastes approximately 25% less water than other RO systems. 4-stage system uses 2 RO membranes, 1 carbon filter and 1 washable sediment filter. Everything in the box ready for quick hook-up. Customized for gardening and hydroponics.
Eco System garden
Unique cylindrical planting concept uses vertical rock-wool slabs to grow. Access doors on each side of the growing cylinder allow easy access to all plants at all times. Lights hang down the centre to provide optimal coverage. The 48 sq. ft. (4,45 m²) of vertical growing surface would require three times as much equivalent floor space.
Lumatek Digital Electronic Ballasts
Lumatek is the world’s leading supplier of digital ballasts to horticulture. Tests have shown that the stable light output produced by Lumateks make them up to 27% brighter and more efficient than common core-and-coil ballasts. Lumateks are also 10-15% brighter than most other brands of digital ballasts on the market. The result is more lumens produced per watt of energy consumed. Lumatek ballasts are silent and produce less heat than standard core-and-coil ballasts. They are also very compact and much lighter in weight. The microprocessors built into Lumateks allow the ballasts to properly detect and power both Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs. They are programmed to allow a “soft start” that does not create power surges and will allow lamps to reach full brightness in less than 1 minute. Lumateks also include a safety feature that protects the ballast and the bulb against sudden power loss, power spikes and brownouts. 400-watt (120V or 240V), 600-watt (120V or 240V), 750-watt (240V) and 1000-watt (240V) models. All Lumateks come with a 15 ft. RF shielded output cord. Lumateks have proven to be very reliable and offer the best guarantee in the industry with a 5-year warranty (full 3-year guarantee + 2-year prorata). All units from Brite-Lite also come complete with a universal socket cord compatible with most reflectors.

Sun Pulse Lamps by Life Light Technology
These lamps are specially formulated for plants and other living things. They are designed specifically to work with high frequency digital ballasts. They are available in 3000K, 4000K, 6400K and 10,000K. The choice available allows growers to mix and match to create perfect blends of light to meet the specific needs of plants from new seedlings to mature plants ready for harvest. These lamps are suited to all manufacturers of electronic ballasts and are engineered to withstand the high frequencies generated by these systems (25Khz – 130Khz). A lighting schedule to show to mix and match these bulbs at different stages of plant growth is available. Using Sun Pulse lamps with electronic systems assures long and even lamp life with little colour shift or loss. The Sun Pulse line is available in the 4 Kelvin spectrums noted above in 400-watt and 600-watt sizes. 750-watt and 1000-watt versions are in development and coming soon.
