Dry storage of pH electrodes is the most common cause of pH meter failure in hydroponics!

“pH electrodes last several years when stored properly”

pH electrodes should be stored in a specialized solution when not in use. This helps prevent dehydration of the glass electrode and porous frit (or wick) while preserving the electrode’s filling solution.    pH buffers and distilled water are not suitable for storing pH electrodes as they can upset electrode calibration.  Electrode storage solutions are carefully structured formulations that do not interfere with the chemical composition of the liquid/gel that is contained within the electrode.

Flairform’s pH Electrode Storage helps:

• Maintain electrode accuracy and response time.
• Eliminate reading ‘drift’.
• Maximize electrode life-span.

For pH & conductivity electrodes

“We have not needed to re-calibrate our pH meters for over 3 years!”

Analytical Laboratory

In many situations, Flairform’s electrode cleaner eliminates the need to re-calibrate.

Electrode cleaners are usually made from acids, alkalis or chelates. However, these chemicals are largely ineffective for cleaning electrodes that have been contaminated by nutrient solutions.

Flairform’s Electrode Cleaner is:

• Suitable for both pH & conductivity meter electrodes.
• Removes both inorganic and organic contamination.
• Restores electrode accuracy and response time.
• Maximizes electrode life-span.

Unlike with other cleaners, the electrode does not require ‘rest’ time after being cleaned.

Easy to use:   Soak electrode for 5 minutes.

Electrode care:  Avoid placing electrodes in oily solutions as they can “coat” the electrode.  Further, avoid measuring (or leaving electrodes for too long) in harsh chemicals. For example, highly caustic or concentrated solutions such as raw nutrient, pH Up and silica additives.

Flairform's buffers are formulated with NIST specified ingredients. Stabilised to resist algae or growth formation: Growths' can contaminate pH electrodes which in turn affects the "slope" value beyond the software's ability to compensate.

House & Garden Multizyme is a useful stimulator, rich in enzymes, co-enzymes and vitamins. Multizyme accelerates and simplifies the growth process and strengthens the plants immunity. It breaks down and dissolves dead root material when watered and also increases the plants resistance to disease and stress. The enzymes convert the base nutrient into ready to use micro nutrient which is far more easily assimilated by the plant.

Information:

House & Garden Multizyme is a collective term for a wide range of useful enzymes, which are very important for the plants to metabolically exchange their plant sugars. Enzymes are small catalysts that trigger these processes and keep them in tune with the plants growth rate.

Dilution Rates:

Dilution rate of Multizyme is 1ml/L

Application:

House & Garden Bud-XL has a unique ability to extract sugars from the leaves of the plant and transfer them to the fruit. The fruit is made sweeter and its taste is improved. Bud-XL will also increase the size and robustness of the flowers, resulting in an increase in fruit production and greater turnover.

Top Booster is a seriously powerful PK13/14 Booster to truly enhance your flowers!

Production horticulture studies have shown that plants utilise less Nitrogen (N) and thrive when given precisely calculated increases in Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) during the generative (floral) period of growth. This accounts for the reduction in leaf and stem growth as more energy is directed towards the flower sites. 

Top Booster ensures that your crop receives the perfect ratio of PK nutriment for increased fruit set development and fruit bulking. 

House & Garden Shooting Powder is the secret behind every successful grower. This sparkling bud expander is the absolute best in the field of flowering stimulators. It gives visible results and works brilliantly with all base nutrients. It is packed in handy sachets, is simple to use and has been extensively tested by our research team. It has already gained great respect in the horticultural industry and, moreover, has earned our customers’ complete satisfaction.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

House & Garden Shooting Powder forces your plants into starting a new flowering cycle after the regular cycle has stopped, significantly increasing the fruits’ total weight. The extra yield after applying this agent will surprise even the most seasoned grower, as it actually creates a new layer on top of the existing fruit. Output increases of up to 20% can be reached this way.

APPLICATION

Use Shooting Powder at the end of the flowering period for the last three weeks.

Prepare your nutrient container by first adding your base nutrient (e.g Cocos, Hydro or Soil) to the water container. Adjust your EC of the nutrient to 1.2 and then add your Shooting Powder. Adjust the pH value to harmonise with the nutrient solution.

• 1 sachet to 100ltrs during the last three weeks before harvest
• 2 sachets to 100ltrs during the last two weeks before harvest
• 2 sachets to 100ltrs during the last week before harvest

Only use Shooting Powder when your plants are sufficiently healthy as it is a very strong agent that requires a lot from your plants. Always adjust the EC value of your base nutrient to 1.2. Do not use Shooting Powder in combination with any other booster.

House and Garden’s Amino Treatment is a new, unique, and revolutionary product that increases both the quality and quantity of your fruit yield and keeps your plants strong and healthy throughout their growth cycles. Amino Treatment contains high quality micro silica particles that strengthen cell walls and increases your plants resistance to diseases and insect infestations. It regulates cell breathing and increases the efficiency of plant perspiration. Your plants will also have a better salt tolerance preventing nutrient lock-out and they will adapt better to climate fluctuations. That means a higher resistance to stress.

SUCCESS THROUGH DESIGN

Amino treatment has a unique natural growth and flowering stimulator from an extract taken from plant seeds. Plants always add a buffer to their seeds, a kind of plant base with high-quality enzymes and amino acids, which stimulates root development, growth and fruit formation in a significant way. Amino Treatment contains oligopeptides which allows for quicker uptake of nutrients and faster distribution of those nutrients throughout the plants Use of Amino Treatment results in better nutrient distribution in the leaves, a higher photosynthesis ratio, stronger stalks, increased root activity, increased fruit production and a higher sugar content in the fruit.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Use Amino Treatment from the first day of vegetative growth until three weeks before the end of the flowering cycle.

H&G Drip Clean is unlike any other product on the market! It helps with the efficiency of any existing nutrient regime! Drip Clean uses a uniquely polarised potassium compound that effectively bonds onto other minerals to ensure solubility and efficient uptake by the crop.

Drip Clean helps to prevent ‘salt’ accumulating in coco and soil substrates, and is ultra effective in all hydroponic and aeroponic system designs. We strongly recommend the use of drip clean when using inferior base nutrients as this will help to prevent potential toxicities.

House & Garden Drip Clean is also an extremely useful agent for anyone working with drip irrigation systems or gravity feed systems (e.g. Auto pots, IWS Dripper systems). Drip Clean works as a magnet, removing any dirt particles from your piping with every nutrient feeding. This allows pipes and drains stay open and clean. Furthermore, Drip Clean gives your plants a boost, improving their greenness and vitality. This is done through ensuring there is no salt build up, so plants can work at peak production throughout their life. Drip Clean can be used to keep pot systems in perfect nutrient balance and reduce the need and length for flushing.

House & Garden Drip Clean is a safe agent for use in medical facilities.

Drip Clean reduces the need for flushing, as drip clean actively removes salt and dirt build up.

To produce a heavy Laden Harvest a plant must first develop a profuse & powerful fruit bearing structure.

Nitrozyme has been proven to effectively relieve stress, provide a more vigorous and healthy plant, which increases yields and profits.

WHY USE NITROZYME?

Crops under normal growing conditions achieve only 30-40% of their genetic potential. Growing conditions such as low or high moisture levels, hot or cold temperature variations, soil imbalance and nutritional deficiencies contribute to plant stress and result in underperformance of the crop.

Plants under stress are unable to produce sufficient cytokinins, the natural plant growth hormones which are necessary for plant growth, nutrient mobilization and distribution, germination, cell division, root development, flowering and seed formation. These naturally occurring hormones have a very pronounced effect on the growth of plant cells and regulate delicate physiological plant processes.

After many years of research and field testing, the natural cytokinins in Nitrozyme can be put to productive use on your plants. Natural cytokinins such as those found in Nitrozyme will help control and regulate: germination – root development – nutrition uptake – plant tissue composition – tillering – flowering -seed and fruit set.

HOW DOES NITROZYME WORK?

Plants progress through a cycle of growth stages. Using the example of wheat, the plant starts out as a seed, germinates and goes through the seedling stage, through the three, five and seven leaf stages, and finally forming a head and producing new seed.

When a plant is under stress at any given stage of growth, reduced levels of cytokinin growth hormones are produced. If this reduction occurs at certain key stages of growth such as the tillering stage, yields can be affected.

By making available extra hormone to the plant at these stages, you can influence the crops final yield.

Timing of the application is essential.  If you apply a hormone to a plant, the result will be stimulated growth of the type which the plant is currently undergoing.  If the plant is forming roots, more root growth can occur. If tillering is underway, more tillers will be formed. If stem growth is in progress, that is what will occur.  If flowering is in progress more flowering will occur.

WHAT ABOUT NITROZYME AS A SEED TREATMENT?

Nitrozyme is very effective as a seed treatment. Many gardeners and researchers have been experimenting with Growth Plus as a seed treatment because it contains certain hormones which can help promote early seedling vigor, and up to 40% increase in root mass. More root mass leads to a healthier and a more vigorous plant.

APPLICATION:

Best applied early morning or late afternoon.

Mix only for immediate application.

FOLIAR SPRAYING:

Use in conjunction with normal fertilizer program.  Dilute 3 ml Nitrozyme to 1 Ltr water.  For a more effective treatment use a wetting agent (surfactant).  Spray plant early (2-4 Leaf). Continue weekly for 2-3 weeks.

HYDROPONIC NUTRIENT TANK ADDITIVE

Add 1 ml per Ltr.  Monitor pH levels closely as pH will drop.

Do not foliar feed Nitrozyme if you are adding it to a nutrient tank.

IMPORTANT

It is most advisable that Nitrozyme applications are ceased prior to the flowering period

Optic Foliar REV is an exceptional nutrient solution for fast-growing plants. After the application of Optic Foliar WATTS, the plants will grow markedly faster and require additional nutrients. This is where Optic Foliar REV steps in to provide additional nutrition to the plant to help supplement the high rates of growth created by WATTS. REV is best used with TRANSPORT Optic Foliar REV helps the plant maintain its highly accelerated growth and flowering rates, resulting in greener and healthier plants, as well as higher-quality crop yields, by providing most of the micronutrients, organic vitamins, amino acids, as well as carbohydrate sugars and B1 as key additional building blocks for flower development, quality, taste and flavour.
Best used with distilled water

• Shake products well before use
• Spray while lights are on
• Do no adjust pH of foliar spray
• Avoid spraying any electrical or lighting
• Long term stability when mixed
• Can also add atak or natural pesticide (link) to mix for multipurpose solution
• Can also add pesticide / fungicide
• Can also be used on cuttings/seedlings

Optic Foliar transport is a spreader and wetter that allows anything you combine with it to be absorbed by the mesophyll palisade layer inside leaves – directly to where the chloroplasts are that complete the photosynthetic functions for the plant.

The thing that makes transport stand out over other foliar additives is the fact you will be able to spray your plants WHILE LIGHTS ARE ON! without the risk of any adverse impact on your plants. No scorching. No burning. No residues. No post-spray wash.

Gone are the days of making special visits to your garden when the lights are due to go off, by using transport you can spray plants during your normal day-to-day visits and checks, with no risk to the health of the plants.

Not just a nutritional spray, Transport is an efficiency spray as it allows your active ingredients to penetrate the leaf surface, so you don’t have to make as strong a solution. Optic foliar recommend using your pesticide or fungicide at ¼ strength as transport boosts the efficiency so you don’t have to use as much & it’s still as effective as a full dose.

Nutrition passes through plant structures such as the stem at a very slow rate while ingredients in optic foliar allow the compounds to be delivered directly into the plants structures where it’s being used. The growing tips of plants consume most of plant resources in active growth and spraying these sites will facilitate growth in these areas. The almost immediate uptake also allows you to treat deficiencies much quicker than via nutrient solutions fed to roots.

Designed to work with any other foliar products from any nutrient range, transport facilitates your chosen ingredients uptake by the plant. It doesn’t replace your nutrient range but actively increases the available nutrients for the plant. If your just feeding nutrition to your plants via the roots, your missing out on an entirely different route of feeding and you should consider adding optic foliar’s range to your arsenal.

Optic foliar Transport should be used if you intend on mixing it with other ingredients. If you want a ready to use spray, check out Optic Foliar Overgrow which combines several products into a RTU spray that has a wide range of action.

How to use:

Mix 7.5ml of transport to each 1l of water.

Mix with distilled or Reverse osmosis water.

Use any additional products at ¼ strength.

Do not adjust the pH of the solution.

You only need to spray the tops of leaves.
