HYDROPONICS WE RECOMMEND

CFL HYDROPONIC STARTER KIT

If  you're looking for a low cost, everything included, idiot-proof solution to hydroponic gardening, this is the unit you should get.  It contains everything you need:  grow tent, nutrients, hydro pots, pH kit, extension cord, timer, three 85W CFL bulbs and socket cords.    Just add dirt and clones and you're good to go. 

This is a very clever indoor gardening solution for the beginning grower.  The grow tent provides the necessary light-tight growing environment for flowering, and by using hydro tubs (which require dirt and manual watering) they've managed to keep costs under control by eliminating the need for air pumps, air stones, water pump and reservoir.

Definite thumbs up for the CFL Starter Kit.



HYDROPONIC NUTRIENTS

There's a lot of hype and volumes of material written on hydroponic nutrients.  We have found most of them practically require a science degree to use.  Remember, we're hydroponics for dummies, we want foolproof, easy-to-use solutions.  Our recommended Grow, Bloom and Micro nutrients have been formulized so that they maintain a pH of 6.5. That's just one reason we recommend these nutrients. 

Not only are they inexpensive to begin with, but because they come in powder form, you'll save a ton on shipping too and won't need a big closet to store them in.




DELUXE GROW BOX

If you want to get serious about hydroponics--in other words you want to graduate from hydroponics for dummies and get serious about growing then we recommend the Grow Daddy from Hydroponics Group. 

Grow Daddy defines the gold standard for hydroponic growing.  Made of cedar on the outside and insulated inner reflective surface for maximum light dispersement and mold resistance.  Lighting is from a 400W metal halide bulb housed in a cool tube with inline fan.   Odor control, 12 station hydroponics reservoir, air pump and stones, ventilation fan, clone dome and six months of nutrients are all included.

Grow Daddy requires a compact 12 square feet of floor space yet provides 70 cubic feet of growing space.





GROW POD

The ultimate in set if and forget it technology, Grow Pod is designed for the grower who wants to keep things simple but still expand their growing capacity.  Designed to completely control all aspects of growing for two grow units, Grow Pod's computerized timer can be adjusted for all growing cycles. 


Complete with ballasts, HPS and MH bulbs, Grow Pod operates lighting, CO2, fans, irrigation, air pumps and all other electrical aspects of the growing process.
