Maximum Yield Canada July/August 2017
While hydroponics is unlikely to overtake traditional agriculture economically anytime soon—current US annual crop production is estimated at $143 billion while hydroponics is valued at a mere $600 million—it’s not so much as how much is being grown but where. Today, nobody knows what society will be like in 2100. We hope it will be a peaceful, healthy, and happy place.

SunBlaster Universal Light Strip Hanger<br />
Getting more light where you need it has never been easier. The<br />
unique design of the Universal Light Strip Hanger makes it a snap<br />
to mount the light you need. Eliminate the need for cumbersome<br />
metal shades that not only weigh a lot, but also trap heat and block<br />
the view of your garden or propagation areas. Add as much light as your<br />
crop—desires, up to seven T5HOs or LEDs—with this simple, easy-to-use, and<br />
easy to suspend lighting accessory from SunBlaster. Each kit includes two strips and<br />
two V-hooks for easy suspension. SunBlaster Universal Light Strip Hangers can also be wall<br />
mounted or back-to-back to provide optimal supplemental side lighting between your rows.<br />
SunBlaster Universal Light Strip Hangers accommodate any length of SunBlaster T5HO combos and our new LED strip lights.<br />
PreGrow Plant Sprayer<br />
Unlike common garden sprayers,<br />
the PreGro Plant Sprayer is easy<br />
to control, eliminating under- or<br />
overdosing plants. Gardeners can use<br />
the PreGro Plant Sprayer with their<br />
own pesticide or fertilizer solution<br />
to deliver a precise, continuous,<br />
and uniform spray to only those<br />
plants affected by unwanted pests.<br />
The portable PreGro Sprayer was<br />
designed to be an affordable<br />
and better alternative to trigger<br />
sprayers for plant laboratories and<br />
professional users. The PreGro Plant<br />
Sprayer also fits the needs of ecoconscious<br />
gardeners and provides<br />
optimal plant surface coverage<br />
while simultaneously avoiding harsh<br />
chemicals and waste. The sprayer<br />
atomizes up to 18 ounces of liquid<br />
and covers up to 120 square feet.<br />
Each PreGro Plant Sprayer comes<br />
fully pressurized and secured to a<br />
6-ounce glass container. Simple to fill,<br />
attach, and spray.<br />

SCROGGER’s P SCROG Six-pack Primary ScrOG Kits<br />
SCROGGER have announced the release of new P SCROG Primary portable ScrOG grow<br />
kits in a six-pack option. The new six-pack option comes packed with six P SCROG Primaries<br />
layered into one box. Priced at 15 per cent below single unit pricing, the six-packs provide a<br />
substantial savings to the grower. The P SCROG Portable Grow Kit is an easy way to grow using the<br />
ScrOG (screen of green) method, which results in bushy, horizontal plants that develop buds in unison.<br />
The system is completely reusable and can accommodate virtually any container. With the P SCROG, all<br />
buds receive optimal light intensity and are never stunted due to upper-growth shading. Plant energy<br />
is focused solely on bud development, resulting in maximum yield per plant. In addition, the P SCROG<br />
screen is a clear, tough, polycarbonate that allows 99 per cent light penetration. The unique, patented<br />
P SCROG design is made in the USA and assembles in minutes without tools. No more DIY bamboo<br />
or trellis netting required. Users can easily rotate or move their plants within a grow space.<br />
