    • The Jumpstart Grow Light Systems

      by hostApril 14, 2011
      In this video we explain how to assemble the Jumpstart grow light system. In addition, we cover a few ways to setup the the system for a successful indoor garden.

      The Jumpstart system is ideal for seedlings, cuttings, flowers and house plants. You can grow seedlings faster with 15-20% more lumens. It's simple toggle clamp for easy lamp height adjustment. Not to mention that it's super easy to assemble.

      When germinating seeds, the fixture can be kept just inches away from the seeds (or humidity dome). After sprouting, keep the fixture 3-6" away from the plant canopy.

    • Phantom Dual 315W CMH System w/Philips Lamps, 120-240V

      by hostMarch 28, 2018
      The Phantom Dual CMh System is a highly versatile system that allows you to run a single 315W lamp or both at the same time for 630W of high-PAR CMh light. The dual reflectors can be used in the standard position or rotated 90 degrees downward to give a low-profile hanging configuration that is ideal for tight spaces. Four angled reflector positions can also be set, if desired. The reflectors feature multifaceted 95% reflective European hammertone aluminum, giving excellent light uniformity and diffusion.

      The attached Phantom Dual CMh 315W ballast features low frequency, square-wave technology and is silent, reliable, and energy-efficient. It has two discrete channels and power switches, and a USB port for PX1 controller compatibility. Input voltage options are 120V, 208V, and 240V.

    • Autopilot PX1 Digital Lighting Controller from Hydrofarm – Controller and Ballast Set Up

      by hostMay 16, 2016
      The Autopilot PX1 Digital Lighting Controller from Hydrofarm provides centralized, dual-zone digital control of your DE lighting, allowing you to switch, dim and boost multiple USB-compatible Hydrofarm ballasts at once—up to 256 in each of two independent zones for a total capacity of 512 ballasts. The trunk-line cable connections ensure perfect communication between the controller and all ballasts in the chain.

      The PX1 has two dedicated temperature sensors—one for each zone—that provide real-time data for automated temperature-based dimming, as well as a high temperature shutdown feature that protects your garden while you’re away. The PX1 replaces traditional analog lighting relays, and eliminates inrush current. Each of its dual zones provides precise and independent:

      • Photoperiod timing to control light and dark cycles

      • Wattage output control, which allows users to control the intensity of the light being emitted from fixtures

      • Auto-dimming when temperature exceeds set points

      • Emergency auto-shutdown of lights upon user-defined over temperature events

      • Configurable restrike delay times, which eliminates lamp-damaging hot starts

      • Sunrise/sunset simulation settings, which provide a gradual ramp-up and down at both ends of your photoperiod

      • Includes 2 - 20' temperature probes

      • includes 8' 100v-240v 50/60hz power adapter

      The PX1 Digital Lighting Controller is easy to set up, and is compact and lightweight. It is a true digital ballast interface that makes multiple-ballast control easy and affordable to achieve. It is simply more powerful, more reliable, and more capable than competing controllers. The PX1 is designed to work with any Phantom or Hydrofarm ballasts with USB connectivity, and are ideally paired with PARsource DE reflectors and Agrosun DE HPS lamps.

      (*RJ12 connection cables and splitter are included in the ballast box)

    Active Aqua Submersible Water Pump
    Choose a pump that was built to go below the waterline! Active Aqua's entire collection of pumps complete any grow setup. You can't beat the submersible line, as it is built for hydroponic systems. All of Active Aqua's submersible pumps include multiple hose fittings so you get an exact fit every time. Each pump's powerful mag drive construction includes removable foam filters, impellers, rubber mounting feet to reduce vibration, and a 6-foot heavy duty power cord. Adjust the pump's flow to get things moving at your preferred rate.
