PolyMax Dutch Bucket System
Ideal for small- and large-scale hydroponic growing, the PolyMax Dutch Bucket System from Growers Supply is designed to be watered through a drip system where the plant’s roots are suspended in a medium. The nutrient solution is then dripped onto the medium near the plant’s base. These buckets offer increased water efficiency and proper root aeration. Accessories can be added to the system to offer an ideal growing environment, including Horticultural Perlite, SuperFlex Polyethylene Tubing, Angled Arrow Dripper Stakes and more. SERVICE #52

Propagation medium
OASIS HORTICUBES XL: Hydroponic Seed Propagation Medium improves root penetration and increases speed-to-transplant flexibility. The cubes can provide 100 percent root penetration in seven days instead of the typical 10. Created for the specific needs of pro-hydroponic growers, the medium’s density and drainage properties provide uniform moisture throughout the media for both overhead irrigation and sub-irrigation. Different configurations of XL are available to suit different crop management needs and growing systems. SERVICE #54

pH monitor
Compatible with iPod, iPhone and iPad devices, the PH-1 ph meter measures and records pH values in the lab or field. Developed by Sensorex, the monitor plugs into the standard Apple dock connector and uses a Sensorex pH electrode to measure pH with accuracy to 0.01 pH. The free app displays pH, millivolts, ambient temperature and solution temperature in real time. The CE-marked device supports one, two, three, or more calibration points, and it sends readings by email for later analysis. When used with a GPS-enabled device, the pH meter app will record measurements with both a timestamp and geographic coordinates. Data history can be grouped by date or location and exported individually or in a .csv format via email. SERVICE #56
