Atami Rokzbastic Ripener / Finisher

Rokzbastic is a high-quality cocktail of minerals and biostimulants which is the perfect partner for achieving rock-solid frosty results. Get firmer, heavier and more compact flowers and fruits thanks to its PK value of 10-20, unique compared to other liquid flowering products on the market.

Rokzbastic has a P:K ratio of 1:2. This high potassium concentration especially favours the flowering of plants with a long flowering phase. Thus, its 10-20 PK value is the key to producing denser and firmer flowers and fruits. In addition, Rokzbastic is enriched with 1% iron and other essential elements to support many vital plant processes.

And like its family member Bloombastic, Rokzbastic is low in ballast substances (sodium and chlorine).

WHAT TYPE OF PLANTS IS ROKZBASTIC SUITABLE FOR?

Rokzbastic is a universal nutrient suitable for different types of vegetables and fruits, and is especially developed to meet the needs of plants with long flowering periods or high potassium requirements such as bell peppers, chillies, citrus fruits or red tomatoes.

It can also be used for ornamental plants with large flowers (e.g. hibiscus, roses or orchids). Experienced growers can measure the required dosage per plant, based on NPK values.

Suitable for cultivation in hydroponics, coco and soil and in manual and automatic irrigation systems.

Atami Rokzbastic Ripener / Finisher APPLICATION

Apply in the last 4 to 6 weeks of flowering throughout the whole fruiting and ripening phase together with your basic nutrients. Can be used in combination with Bloombastic to further exaggerate the stimulating effect of the flowering phase, increase yield and crop weight, as well as enhance natural flavours and aromas.

Use right after Bloombastic to maximise the effects of both products. When combining products with high PK values, always pay attention to the EC value of your nutrient solution, as there is a possibility of over fertilisation.

DOSAGE

0.5 – 1 ml per litre of water. Gives an increase of the E.C. value in your basic nutrient solution.

PK 10-20 W/W

These cords are commonly used with desktop computers, monitors, printers, and other office equipment due to their robustness and ability to handle significant power loads. The IEC C13 connector on the female end mates with a corresponding IEC C14 inlet, ensuring a secure and consistent connection. This standardization across a wide range of devices simplifies setup and reduces compatibility issues, making these cords a versatile and indispensable part of modern electronic infrastructure.

One of the key advantages of female kettle plug cords is their durability and safety features. Constructed with high-quality materials, these cords are designed to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging without degrading, ensuring long-term reliability. Additionally, many IEC C13 cords are manufactured with shielding and insulation that meet international safety standards, protecting against electrical shocks and fire hazards. This makes them suitable for both professional and consumer environments where safety is paramount. Furthermore, their standardized design allows for easy replacement and interchangeability, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs in both home and office settings.

Bionova PK 13-14

Bionova PK 13-14 Various

Bionova PK 13-14: The original PK 13-14, Food grade minerals – Concentration 1:1500

NPK: 0-13-14

Thicker flowers

Bionova’s PK 13-14 is the perfect composition as a main flowering stimulator. Phosphor develops a healthy and extensive root system and an exuberant flowering. Potassium prompts the flowering potency in the plant. The combination of these two components in a food grade mineral form is the original Bionova’s superbloomer. Plants directly absorb all food grade minerals which gives you optimal control of your plants. Bionova is the inventor of the original composition: PK 13-14.

What is BioNova PK 13-14?

PK 13-14 is the perfect balanced combination of Phosphor and Potassium. Phosphor activates blooming inside any treated plant and Potassium prompts flowering and creates an exuberant flowering. It is sourced with food-grade minerals, which is one of the purest forms of minerals. Containing barely any ballast salts and heavy metals. This way the PK 13-14 is also directly absorbable by the root system, and no heavy metals will remain in the end product.

Tips from Bionova growers

✔ Use 1 to 2 ml PK 13-14 in 10 liters of water in the second week of the growing stage to promote a faster roots development.
✔ When deficiencies phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) occur, the plant. Mainly these conditions of immobilization and deprivation of elements for the cultivation are due to poor substrates and abnormal pH values of the nutrient solution. To cure deficient plants you can apply a solution of PK 13-14 with dilution rate of 2.5-5 ml in 10 liters of water by irrigation or foliar spray.

How to use ?

Should be applied from the first week of flowering until the final week of flowering.
Mixable with all Bionova fertilizers, stimulators, minerals, universals & substrates.
Can be used as irrigation and as foliar spray.

Application in irrigation: From start flowering until a week before harvest: 2-6ml per 10 liter of water.

Application as foliar: 2,5-5 ml per liter.

Atami Bloombastic Flowering Nutrient

Atami Bloombastic Flowering Nutrient

Atami Bloombastic Flowering Nutrient:

Bloombastic is a high-quality cocktail made of mineral and organic additives with a vegetable origin that is suitable for the last flowering and ripening phase (4-6 weeks) of the plant. Atami Bloombastic Flowering Nutrient increases the sugar content of your crop and therefore the weight and the smell. By means of an explosion of sugar and flower production Bloombastic provides thick, dense, sweet-smelling flowers.

Compared with other liquid flowering products, Bloombastic contains over 50% more bio-minerals (phosphorus and potassium) for which absolutely no ballast substances have been used (sodium and chlorine). Bloombastic also has an enzymatic influence in several areas, and therefore has a stress-preventing and recovering influence on the plant.

The combination of these features allows Bloombastic to replace various other products. Combining Bloombastic with (another) PK nutrient is not only unnecessary, but potentially risky, due to the risk of over fertilizing. Using Bloombastic together with e.g. B’cuzz Bloom Stimulator is a great way for growers further to exaggerate the flowering-phase stimulating effect. You can perfectly combine it with basic nutrients as well. It’s important to pay attention to the EC value of your nutrient solution.

This universal nutrient is suitable for many crops like different kinds of vegetables and fruits like chili peppers, strawberries, blueberries. It can also be used for flowering ornamental plants (e.g. Orchids, Violets). Experienced growers can measure the required dosage per plant, based on the NPK-values.

Application:

Apply in the last 4 to 6 weeks of flowering and ripening in combination with the basic nutrition. ATA Bloombastic can be used on any substrate (Soil, Hydro and Coco) and is suitable for all irrigation systems.

Dosage:

0.5 – 1.0ml per 1 liter of nutrient solution. Increases the E.C. value in your basic nutrient solution.

Composition:

P: 59 g/kg

K: 121g/kg

Fe: 990mg/kg

Garden HighPro LumaxPro HPS Lamps Specs

LumaxPro 600W Spectrum

LumaxPro 400W Spectrum

LumaxPro 250W Spectrum

Proper lighting is a key ingredient in promoting robust, healthy growth as well as meeting the needs of various plant growth phases through optimized spectral outputs. Specifically tailored for the hydroponic and horticultural industries.

HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM – (HPS)

HPS bulbs are the most efficient bulbs that are commonly used by the hobby gardener. They are high in the red and yellow parts of the spectrum and low in the blue, this imitates the fall sun. Because of this spectrum some plants that are grown with HPS lights only can grow elongated and rather leggy, while many other plants are not effected by the light spectrum. For plants that normally bud and flower in the fall this is usually the light of choice because the light spectrum promotes flower production.

HPS bulbs are made out of a translucent ceramic arc tube containing a mixture of sodium, mercury and xenon gas. This arc tube is suspended in a outer glass shield (bulb). HPS bulbs range in power from 35w to 1000w, with the 250w, 400w, 600w and 1000w being the most popular for indoor horticulture.

HPS bulbs should be changed out after about 24 months. The bulbs slowly lose their brightness over time and to maintain good light quality the bulbs must be changed before the end of their rated life.

Garden HighPro LumaxPro HPS Lamps offer a great light spectrum at an affordable price!

 

Surge Protector

Surge Protector

A Surge Protector will protect your valuable electrical equipment from surges in electrical supply. When a sudden increase in voltage occurs, such as from a lightning strike or damage to a power line, the surge protector detects the excess current and safely diverts it through the house’s grounding path.

These “point of use” or “plug-in” Surge Protectors will only work if plugged into grounded electrical outlets in locations where electrical wiring has proper grounding installed. Have your location inspected by a certified electrician if you are not certain about your wiring – this small expense is well worth the cost when compared to the possibility of destroyed electronics and other equipment or damages caused by an electrical fire.

These surge protectors are not only able to protect your growing equipment but also other household items, such as persnal computers, fridges and freezers, televisions, Hi-Fi’s, gaming consoles, etc. It is also worth mentioning that these units will not protect against “brown-outs”, where the electrical supply drops to levels lower than normal. If protection against current drops is also a requirement, then a UPS unit will be a better option.

These units are rated at 16 Amp, 250 V

Read more about how surge protection works HERE.

Also see our Contact Relays – these are used when multiple lighting ballasts are powered on with a single timer. The relay will route the current through a 30 Amp relay when the ballasts come on, so that the time does not burn out.

The Budget Birdwing Reflector cord length is 4.5m

 

Cooltube Reflector

Cooltube Reflector

The Cooltube Reflector is an air-tight, fully sealed clear glass tube with a lamp mounting bracket in its center on the one end. Cooltube Reflectors are perfect for removing the excess heat generated by HPS or Metal Halide grow lights.

New Cooltube Wing Design

These Cooltubes have detachable side wings instead of being permanently attached on hinges that flip the wings up or down. (See photos on the left)

Cooltubes were one of the first air cooled reflectors to become available and all these years later they are still a firm favorite with many growers. They are effectively an inline glass tube that allows you to extract air through the reflector and over your lamp, taking the heat away before it can raise the temperature of your grow room. (Instructional video here)

Cooltubes can be mounted in series along the same length of flexible aluminium ducting.

The Cooltubes have a rounded internal reflector (inside the glass tube), as well as foldable outside reflector wings, for a slightly tighter light spread. They have a mounting hook on each side, to suspend from rope ratchets, come with a 4.5 m long male kettle plug power cord and can be used with up to 1000 Watt bulbs. The hood is fitted with a ceramic E40 light fitting.
