Speedee Trimmers for Precise Flower Trimming

Written by Web Hydroponics on November 2, 2017. Posted in Blog.

Alex Nikas, the creator and founder of Speedee Trimmers, wanted a better way to trim than the tedious process of hours and hours of scissor trimming. His goal was to create something that gave you the precision of scissors but had the strength of a large scale industrial trimming machine. What resulted was Speedee Trimmer hand trimmers. They combine the efficiency of a trimming machine with the precision of hand trimming. This allows you to maximize speed and quality to create a high quality flower.

Speedee Trimmers have motorized blades that allow someone to trim up to two pounds an hour. Traditional hand trimming typically takes seven to eight hours per pound! As you can see, you are drastically cutting your trimming time when you use a Speedee Trimmer!

Whether you’re in your home or a commercial space, there is a use for Speedee Trimmers. They are great for precise hand trimming for the home gardener or for a commercial setting after flowers have gone through an automated trimmer. In the old days, scissors would be used for the precision cutting after a machine trim, Speedee Trim allows you to achieve the same results in a fraction of time.

speedee trim piranha blade — Piranha Blade

Speedee Trimmers come in a cordless or corded model, with four different blade attachments, that can be used to trim wet or dry. Each Speedee Trimmer comes with a blade cleaning box for easier cleaning after each use. It’s important to clean your blade after each use to keep the motor working properly.

Hammerhead Blade – Great for de-leafing and pruning overgrown plants during a grow cycle. Dual sided with the widest spacing between the teeth out of all the other blades. Best paired with the cordless motor for easy maneuverability around the grow site. Available as a corded or cordless model.

Butterfly Blade – This dual sided blade is a precision bade that has forward angled teeth perfect for trimming around tight spots or in tight places. The Dual sided blade allows for multi directional high volume manicuring. Forward angled teeth are specifically engineered to maneuver around tight spots giving you full control of what you take off and leave on your plants. This blade is best utilized on large densely grown freshly cut wet flowers. Available as a corded or cordless model.

Sabertooth Blade – Great control and perfect for trimming wet flowers. Thin wide spaced teeth are slanted forward with a tapered tip allow for spot-on precision manicuring of freshly cut wet plants. The custom teeth allow the user to remove very small amounts of material without touching the surrounding foliage. The main body of the blade can be used for volume trimming the entire circumference of the flower. Available as a corded or cordless model.

Piranha Blade – The perfect blade to remove small leaves to better the appearance of flowers. Shorter blade length gives users optimal control. Thinner blades for cleaner cuts also facilitate the ability to get into even tighter places than any of the other models. Custom forward angled tip allow the user to manicure with near surgical precision. Smaller micro edge teeth make this blade ideal for manicuring dried flowers. Available as a corded or cordless model.

How do I use Speedee Trimmers?

Trim flowers with the stem pointed either toward or away from you so that the flat part of the leaves catch in between the teeth. Move the blade in a sweeping motion across the plant going around the stem. The amount of material removed is determined by how close the blade is held to the flower and the angle of the blade in relation to the stem. The closer the blade is angled toward the stem, the more material you will remove and vice versa. Spot trimming can be done by angling the teeth at the blade tip so that it’s only the tip contacting the plant. Small precision cuts can be made by this action without touching the surrounding flower.

How do I clean Speedee Trimmers?

Clean blades by filling cleaner box 3/4 capacity with isopropyl alcohol. Dip blades in box with repeating up and down motion. NEVER SCRAPE THE BLADES WITH ANYTHING METALIC AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THEM! Be careful not to drop or bend the blades as this can throw the alignment off.

Cure UV Grow Room UV Sterilization

Written by Web Hydroponics on January 27, 2017. Posted in Blog.

Cure UV is the easiest and most efficient way to disinfect your grow room and combat pests and diseases with UV sterilization!

Anyone who has lost their harvest to spider mites or powdery mildew is familiar with the perils of failing to disinfect a grow room. High temperatures, increased humidity and abundant organic materials are an ideal breeding ground for bacterial, fungal or pest epidemics. There are traditional methods to sterilize a grow room that involve hydrogen peroxide, bleach, toxic chemicals and intensive labor. These methods are widely used despite the hazards and limitations. Many growers are discovering a simple, chemical free alternative technology to disinfect their indoor gardens. This technology is known as Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilization.

Most of us think of UV Sterilization in connection with hospitals, operating rooms and ultra-hygienic laboratories. Some of us have seen the modern free-standing UV sterilizers that fire intense UV light in 360 degrees; to wipe out all bacteria and fungus from an entire room in a matter of seconds.

Ultraviolet sterilization has proven itself as an alternative to harsh chemical treatments to control bacteria, mold, mildew and pests. UV lights destroy disease-causing pathogens throughout a grow room or grow tent. UV-C Light sanitizes micro-organisms and biological pollutants, including viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, dust mite and flea eggs by penetrating their cell membranes and attacking and deactivating their cellular DNA, stopping their reproductive capabilities and killing them. A properly installed and well-designed UV sterilizer will lower the incidence of disease and increase longevity and overall health of your garden.

CUREUV and GERMAWAYUV offer cutting-edge chemical free ultraviolet disinfection systems. They include mountable, handheld and tabletop UV sterilizer models that kill germs on virtually every surface including air and water. They effectively wipe-out 99.9% of surface bacteria and viruses within 10 seconds of exposure. This technology is safe and has been approved for use on everything from cellphones to toothbrushes to public restrooms.

Nutri Plus the Beast and Stopping Vertical Growth

Written by Web Hydroponics on April 15, 2016. Posted in Blog.

The distinct NPK reading of 6-6-6 alludes to something evil or the work of the devil, but the truth is that The Beast by Floracorp (the makers of Nutri-Plus) serves the critical function of limiting excessive vertical growth or elongation of your indoor hydroponic garden – and nothing more unholy than that. The Beast and similar growth regulating products are used in everything from golf courses and outdoor turf grass to conventional commercial agriculture and indoor plants. It seems counter intuitive to want to limit the growth of your plants if you are a grower who is aiming to sell your harvest, but, experienced growers know that yield, weight, and profit are in dense, tightly packed healthy plants, with maximum flowering sites in minimum space. From a horticultural point of view, it makes sense that longer plants require more time and energy to transfer vital minerals and energy throughout the plant.

How the Beast Works in Indoor Gardens

The Beast works by altering, restricting or inducing the production of common plant growth hormones and thus generating or halting plant growth. Most of these chemicals or variations of these growth inhibiting or inducing chemicals already exist in plants. The difference here is that we decide when plant growth should halt – not Mother Nature.

Why use The Beast in your Indoor Garden

Halting vertical plant growth at precisely the right time is essential for maximizing yield in most optimized indoor gardens. Plant growth hormones are present through-out the plant and produced in every cell. They can induce root growth, stem and leaf growth, and even the on-set of flowering and fruit production. Experienced indoor gardeners know that mastering control of these plant hormones can determine the success of the harvest.

The Beast: Flowering treatment for Regulating Plant Growth

Limiting excessive elongation is critical in all commercial agriculture and especially important in indoor gardening when space and light are in limited supply. Limited space and light are especially significant factors in most hydroponic vertical gardens. As such, hydroponic gardeners tend grow plants that are suitable for the space and light conditions. They seek out strains that perform best in their indoor garden systems. In addition to seeking the right genetics, experienced indoor gardeners, leave nothing to chance and work with the most mild and non-toxic, yet effective, plant growth regulators they can find. That is what The Beast is all about.

The Beast by Nutri-Plus is a blend of fruit enzymes and mild chemicals that, when applied in bloom, dramatically reduce elongation and stretching. While keeping internode space tight, The Beast also supports the development of healthy and abundant flowering while hardening the stem of the plant. The Beast is a highly concentrated and easy to use product that indoor gardeners across North America have learned to trust. Available in 500 ml and 1 liter, The Beast has become known as the go to bloom treatment for vertical gardens and for commercial and hobby indoor gardening.

Nutri Plus vs Advanced Nutrients Nutrient Comparison

Written by Web Hydroponics on April 10, 2016. Posted in Blog.

Growers and legalization activists love them for their cavalier honesty. Plant nutrient wholesalers and other suppliers in the indoor gardening community envy their success and hate them for some of the negative attention they have brought to the industry. Hydroponics retailers and growers agree that they can be a disaster to deal with offering way too many products at outrageous prices. One thing is for sure: Advanced Nutrients has made its mark in the indoor gardening industry and controversy is not something they are afraid of.

Nutri Plus is the Friendly and Affordable Alternative to Advanced Nutrients

Also for sure: many Advanced Nutrient growers are looking for more affordable and consistent alternatives. Regardless of whether or not you love them or hate them, the recent changes is formula consistency, in addition to the recent changes in (or failure to honor) warranties has many convinced that it is time to look for other plant nutrients and additives to work with. In search for a friendlier alternative, many experienced growers are turning to Nutri Plus.

Why Nutri Plus instead of Advanced Nutrients?

Made with superior ingredients in one of the most clean, complete and concentrated two part plant nutrients on the market, Nutri Plus proves that you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars and buy dozens of additives to produce large and healthy plants. Nutri Plus A & B Grow and Bloom quarts retail for $20.95! Yes – for the pair. (We’ve found Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom priced as high as $35.95 for the pair!)

Compare Advanced Nutrients and Nutri Plus Plant Growth Supplements

Apart from the super-concentration and unbeatable value of The Nutri Plus AB base nutrients, Nutri Plus offers a line-up of plant additives that optimize plant growth and quality at every stage of development. They appeal to Advanced Nutrient growers because there are a variety of products that can be directly compared to the AN alternative yet, they are more affordable with higher concentrations. These include: Start with Jump Start, Thrive with B52, Blossom Plus with Bud Blood, Bud Plus with Big Bud, Final Drive with Over Drive, Nutri Plus Clear with Final Phase and CM Plus with Sense CalMag. In the case of Advanced Nutrients H1 and F1, Nutri Plus has Pure Black and Pure Gold. One could say that they are comparable, but the difference in quality and concentration make Nutri Plus humic (20%) and fulvic (31%) acid infinitely superior and in a class by themselves.

No matter what your view of Advanced Nutrients and the indoor gardening products they offer, it is certain that the Advanced Nutrients line is prohibitively expensive. Nutri Plus is an obvious alternative for growers who are familiar with Advanced Nutrients program. That aside, Nutri Plus is perfect for beginner and advanced growers because it guarantees consistent outstanding results at a minimum cost.

Plant Growth Enhancers for Your Indoor Garden

Written by Web Hydroponics on March 1, 2016. Posted in Blog.

Hydroponic gardening can prove difficult when it comes to accelerated plant growth and maximized yields. There are many different ways for a grower to increase their plant yields and harvest a healthier crop by use of a few simple plant growing tips. A high quality plant growth enhancer is just one of the many options that hydroponic gardeners must take into consideration to maximize their returns.

The Immune System Booster for Hydroponic Gardens

A plant growth enhancer can significantly improve your hydroponic garden in more ways than one. Apart from the obvious stimulation of plant growth, effective plant growth enhancers often involve chemicals or solutions that combat or prevent pathogens and other harmful diseases which can halt plant growth. Growth enhancers that contain Salicylic acid are known in gardening as immune system boosters. They work by improving the plants overall health and by guarding against unwanted exposure to diseases that can devastate crops, and neutralize all gardening efforts.

Root Enhancers and Hydroponic Gardens

Growing strong and healthy roots throughout the entire cycle of vegetative growth and bloom is a critical issue in optimized indoor gardening. Hydroponic crops that have a restricted or unhealthy root system will not produce the results required to ensure maximum productivity and profitability; even when proper lighting, watering, and feeding is done. A quality root enhancer or powerful indoor gardening root stimulant can be highly beneficial, with effects that trigger significantly larger plants and better quality harvests. A root stimulating plant growth enhancer generally works by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, which strengthen the root system while facilitating the absorption of plant nutrients.

Web Hydroponics Recommendation: If you have read any previous blog posts, you know how much we love Regen-a-Root by CX Hydroponics. It is our favorite root stimulator on the market. It does what the big brands do and more, at a much better price point. Try it today!

Foliar Feeding: The Plant Growth Enhancer That Can Improve Crops

Foliar feeding a quality plant growth enhancer is another essential method of improving your crop yields for a larger and higher quality harvest. Foliar feeding works by simply spraying a growth enhancing nutrient mist on the leaves of your plants. Because of their special epidermal structure, leaves absorb supercharged plant nutrients and additives, inducing maximized hydroponic crop yields (improved by up to 50%). For optimized plant growth and health, it is said that a good surfactant and a high quality humic acid or fulvic acid should be used in foliar feeding.

Web Hydroponics Recommendation: Our favorite foliar spray is Organic Rescue Mist. We use other nutrients for base/additives, but for foliar, nothing beats Organic Rescue Mist. Effective, concentrated (31% fulvic acid!!!), affordable, and it comes in a slick, durable Ready-To-Use aluminum bottle for easy foliar feeding when it’s needed. Pick up a bottle and leave it in your grow room for future foliar feeds! Original Formula through Veg, Rapid Flower for transition into flower. It’s that easy!

Hydroponic Growth Maximized by Basic Pruning

Pruning your plants can also help to improve and increase plant growth in a hydroponic garden. Withering, under-performing, or old leaves and branches (when connected to plants), can draw the nutrients and energy away from the healthy section of the plant; resulting in fewer nutrients that can be absorbed. Pruning dead or dying leaves or branches can drastically help to improve growth rates because the nutrients will no longer be drawn away from the healthy section of the plant. This method is one of the easiest and most cost effective plant growth enhancing options available to indoor gardeners. These tips and tricks are sure to improve your garden health and productivity.

Web Hydroponics Recommendation: We have a couple different options for pruning. We use Giros orange curved scissors. Pretty standard, yet highly effective.

Fulvic Acid and Foliar Feeding

Written by Web Hydroponics on February 11, 2016. Posted in Blog.

Fulvic Acid is an essential element to all life on earth.

Fulvic Acid is a part of the humic structure of rich, composting soil. It is created by microbes working on decaying matter in a soil environment. For this reason, it exists in all rich soils which have not been degraded through ill-advised farming methods and the use of pesticides and various chemical-based fertilizers. It originates from humic deposits and each Fulvic Acid molecule carries 60 or more minerals and trace elements in organic complexes that are necessary for life.

Fulvic Acid is a natural organic electrolyte in that it is both a complex organic molecule that would contrarily not be soluble in water, but it is also covered in negative charges that enable solubility in water. Because it is smaller and more electronegative than other humates, Fulvic Acid readily complexes with itself, other organic molecules and inorganic materials like metals and minerals making them all become more readily available to plant roots.

Fulvic Acid acts like a tiny claw that grabs everything your plant may not be able to take in on its own and helps the roots utilize and process these essential molecules. For example, it aids in the absorption of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. These elements are transported into the plant tissue faster and easier with Fulvic than without, resulting in a plant that is able to achieve more rapid growth and produce larger yields.

Utilizing Fulvic Acid on a regular basis means that nutrients are immediately absorbable and more transportable within the plant given appropriate pH scenarios. It is recommended to use Fulvic Acid in all stages of a plants development as it will help boost your plants health while aiding in nutrient absorption.

Simply put, every plant should be receiving a regular dose of Fulvic Acid, one of the essential building blocks of carbon-based life.

Hydroponics and Fulvic Acid…

Transcellular. Fulvic Acid can be absorbed directly into the plant itself, giving it transcellular properties. Being able to enter a plants cell and chelate nutrients directly in makes the fertilizers that growers use more efficient.

Efficiency in Correcting Deficiencies with Foliar Feeding. Since Fulvic Acid can easily be absorbed through a plant’s stomata and act as a highly efficient chelator, it can instantly begin correcting deficiencies and boosting plant health. If your plant is experiencing a nutrient deficiency, often foliar feeding with Fulvic Acid and a specific mineral supplement is the quickest and most effective way to counterattack. By applying the needed nutrient in combination with Fulvic Acid via foliar application the grower ensures that the highest amount of the needed nutrient is absorbed as fast as possible.

I use Fulvic Acid as a foliar feed from clone to veg all the way through week 2/3 of flowering (Fulvic Acid has auxin like abilities so it’s a wonderful, organic way to help start clones). Be cautious when foliar feeding your plants during flowering after about week 3 because this can spur the formation of botrytis amongst denser colas and areas of the space that receive inadequate air circulation. Some growers don’t like to Foliar Feed, which I don’t understand because it’s such an effective method of feeding your plants. If you really want your plants to reach for the sky, foliar feed with Fulvic Acid on a regular basis.

I foliar feed with one of my favorite new products, Organic Rescue Mist. This is the highest quality Fulvic we’ve found at a great price and it comes in a sturdy aluminum bottle that we’ve been using for months. Pick up a bottle of concentrate and your Fulvic requirements will be good-to-go for multiple cycles. I use the Original Formula from veg until transition and then I switch to the Rapid Flower formula and use that from last week of veg until week 2/3 flower. Another great way to use Organic Rescue Original Formula is to mix it with other nutrients to correct deficiencies of boost a certain additive. For example, we like to add it to CX Hydroponics’ Head Masta (increases quality of yield) to make this additive work even better to produce even tastier results. For less than $100.00, my grow room is stocked with high quality Fulvic Acid and my plants are happy!

-Web Hydroponics

For those that want even more information, here’s a study we found on the efficiency of Fulvic Acid in nutrient uptake and yield.

Effect of Foliar Application of Fulvic Acid on water use, nutrient uptake, and yield in wheat

Abstract: Spraying with Fulvic Acid (FA) resulted in a higher level of chlorophyll in the leaves and a greater uptake of Phosphorus by the roots. Spraying with FA increased the yield of stressed plants to 97% of the irrigated controls. Field trials demonstrated that when FA was used to decrease the water stress or the stress imposed by hot, dry winds during development, grain yield increased by 7.3 – 18.0%.

Nutrient Notes: Organic Rescue Mist – Rapid Flower

Written by Web Hydroponics on January 17, 2016. Posted in Blog.

When talking about Organic Rescue’s products, you first must talk about foliar feeding. First, like most folks that talk about foliar feeding, we must first look at the past…

If you foliar feed, the names Dr. H.B. Turkey and Dr. S.H. Wittwer may ring a bell. In the 1950’s, they used radioactive isotopes of known plant nutrients and ran a few experiments. They made some startling conclusions…

1. Foliar feeding provided approximately 95% nutrient uptake efficiency compared to only 10% from soil applications.

2. Plant nutrients moved at the rate of one foot per hour throughout all parts of the plant and could be found within the roots in less than an hour (depending on size of plant).

3. Foliar feeding stimulates nutrient uptake through the roots. After foliar feeding, the plants’ leaves generate more carbohydrates that will be transported to the roots and released as exudates. More exudates equals more microbial life which means more available nutrients.

4. Speed of absorption. The absorption from foliar feeding was determined to be immediate, much faster than standard root nutrition.

5. No nutrient lockout. When foliar feeding, you can get essential trace minerals into your plant when sudden fluctuations in pH may be preventing maximum absorption.

Foliar Feeding is a great way to supplement any nutrient regiment you are currently using. Obvious questions are….Which foliar spray should I use? How often should I foliar feed? Will it actually help? I’ve heard foliar feeding is a waste of time from my brothers’ friends’ cousin, is that true?

Well, there’s a very simple answer for all of those questions and it is…Organic Rescue Mist. They make easy to use foliar sprays in durable aluminum bottles that have helped our plants since the day we decided to start foliar feeding again.

Organic Rescue Mist – Rapid Flower

One of the most important ingredients in Organic Rescue products is high quality fulvic acid. According to the manufacturer, they use “31% concentrated fulvic acid”, which is better quality than we’ve been able to find in any standalone fulvic product. That’s pretty awesome to start. As far as the “proprietary formula to ease your plants transition into flowering” I was assured it is “a combination of essential trace minerals that have been researched for decades in the commercial agriculture business to increase flowering quality and abundance.” With a WSDA organic certification, there’s no reason not to believe that this is a quality product made with the best ingredients nature has to offer. WSDA is the gold standard in organic certifications and they have a pretty rigorous registration process to get certified.

Fulvic Acid is nature’s most powerful organic chelator. Because of its small molecular size, it has the ability to increase efficiency in foliar feeding. It is easily absorbed through a plants’ stomata (and the entire plant, for that matter) and since it can ‘claw’ essential nutrients that may not be easily absorbed, those nutrients piggy back on fulvic acid into plants in a much more efficient way. Because it’s nature’s most powerful organic chelator, having it as an ingredient in a nutrient is a very good thing because it increases the efficiency and absorption of the essential trace minerals contained within Rapid Flower that are needed by plants during their transition stage. One other benefit, it won’t affect your pH so there are no worries about this important input variable when using Rapid Flower.

How to use Organic Rescue Mist – Rapid Flower?

The best part of Organic Rescue Mist is the Ready-To-Use aluminum bottle. It’s made of durable aluminum and can last forever in a grow room. The sprayer is solid and works just fine (we’ve been using the same bottle for 8 months with no issues). You only have to mist your plants 1-2 times a week during the last two weeks of veg and the first week of flowering. That’s it. Very simple instructions. A ready-to-use transition foliar spray for under $25 that will last you plenty of grow cycles sounds good to us. Furthermore, they make a concentrate that can be used in larger pump sprayers if you need to treat more plants. We love this bottle. It really looks great. Solid marketing from Organic Rescue with a fantastic looking product.

Benefits of Organic Rescue Rapid Flower…

Rapid Flower is the perfect foliar for your plants transition stage. Grab a bottle of their Ready-To-Use foliar and you can begin misting your plants immediately. Not only will it provide your plants with essential trace minerals for your plants to explode into flower, but the high quality fulvic acid will also enhance the intake of whatever nutrient you are currently using. It is a win-win.

You may have a favorite nutrient line, but this should be your favorite foliar. No matter what nutrient line you’re using, grab a bottle and use this as a foliar supplement during the next transition stage for your plants. You will not regret it. We will be using it with every. single. grow. from here on out.

Spend 15 minutes foliar feeding your plants once and you will never stop. Once we started looking into the science behind it and having warehouse conversations about various radioactive isotope tests and foliar feeding we knew we were hooked! I don’t know why people knock foliar feeding because the science behind it is sound. Honestly, we were not big foliar feeders but the Rapid Flower changed our minds.

Other benefits of Rapid Flower…

1. Ease your plants transition from a vegetative to a flowering state

2. Increase amount of flowering sites and surface area of foliage

3. Helps plants in producing excess trichromes and sugars

4. Promotes tight nodes which produces thicker, denser flowers

5. Increases stem thickness for greater nutrient uptake

6. Decreases internodal stretching or spacing

We hope you give this product a try! We love it and highly recommend it. At under $25.00, you really can’t go wrong. Also, you have to love a company that uses the Big Lebowski when promoting their products (from their Facebook)….the Dude Abides!
