Neoseiulus Californicus SachetNeoseiulus Californicus SachetNeoseiulus Californicus Sachet

Neoseiulus Californicus is a predatory mite supplied by BioBee South Africa, who are actively providing IPM solutions which reduce the use of pesticides for both conventional and bio-organic agriculture in the country.

Sold by Hydroponic.co.za in 5g sachets, which are hooked onto plant stems close to leaves. The mites will emerge from the holes in the top of the sachets over a number of days, eager to find food and help with the elimination of the following pests:

  • Two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus Urticae)
  • Fruit spider mite (Panonychus Ulmi)
  • Citrus red mite (Panonynchus Citri)
  • Begonia mite (Tarsonemus Pallidus)
  • Broad mite (Polyphagotarsonemus Latus)

Full dispersion and noticeable effects may take between 2 and 3 weeks, depending on each unique situation. Make sure that the holes of each sachet are indeed open, to ensure that the mites will be able to crawl out of it easily. (Holes can be enlarged slightly, using a pen or pencil). For faster dispersion, the sachets can be torn open and the contents sprinkled onto the plant’s leaves.

Neoseiulus Californicus should be shipped and stored at temperatures ranging from around 6 – 16 °C and the sachets should be viable for up to 3 weeks after the production date printed on each sachet.

Mite Description:

Neoseiulus californicus are translucent and range in color from pale orange to peach. The nymphs resemble the adults except that they are smaller and cannot reproduce. Their eggs are oblong, transparent and white to dirty-white in color. Adult predatory mites, nymphs and larvae actively search for their prey and suck them empty. All stages of Neoseiulus californicus prefer to eat younger stages of host mites and adult females can consume fifteen to twenty spider mite eggs per day. Neoseiulus californicus can also feed and survive on Thrips and can survive for up to 3 – 4 weeks without food and therefore very good for prophylactic treatments and maintaining low populations of Red Mite and Red spider mite. Neoseiulus californicus tolerates high temperatures and low humidity levels.

Please note… not recommended for use on Tomatoes, as the trichomes of a Tomato plant give of a substance that is irritating to these mites.

 

 

Tent SCROG Scrog Frames

Tent SCROG Scrog Frames

Tent SCROG Scrog Frames – These pre-made scrog frames are easy to tie onto grow tent poles With these scrog frames in place you can trim and train your plants’ shoots into a flat, uniform canopy, full of potential bud sites.

PLEASE NOTE: Tent SCROGs are now shipped “rolled up” to minimize courier fees and damages in transit. They are easily assembled once received. ( video here )

Training plants into a flat canopy (“Screen of Green”) enables the formation of many bud sites along the same horizontal plane. The leaves and bud sites along this plane will then be able to make the most of the light that is emitted by the grow light in the tent, and will generate more yield per plant when it comes to harvest time.

We currently offer Tent SCROG Scrog Frames that fit into the following popular grow tent sizes. PLEASE NOTE that the frames themselves are slightly smaller than the tent dimensions, to make sure that the frame can easily fit inside the tent, even if the tent frame has thicker diameter poles:

  • 1 m x 1 m ( actual frame dimensions are approx. 95 cm x 95 cm )
  • 1.2 m x 1.2 m ( actual frame dimensions are approx. 115 cm x 115 cm )
  • 1.5 m x 1.5 m ( actual frame dimensions are approx. 145 cm x 145 cm ) Also has 1 x additional brace through middle for stability, see below…

Tent Scrog 1-5m

You will need to have something on hand to secure the frame to the tent poles, for example, cable-ties or LightHouse Soft Garden Tie.

Starke Ayres Vegetable Seed Packs

Starke Ayres Vegetable Seed Packs

Starke Ayres Vegetable Seed Packs are now available in a number of vegetable seed varieties.

The seeds are treated against fungi and parasites, and should only be used for PLANTING, NOT FOR CONSUMPTION. Store in a safe, cool, dry place.

Consult the Starke Ayres Planting Guide to find out which types of vegetable seeds can be planted right now !

Starke Ayres Vegetable Planting Guide Snip

Read up about the ideal conditions that your Starke Ayres Vegetable Seed Packs require for best results. Ideally, the newly sprouted seeds should be left undisturbed ( except for watering ) until the new seedlings are ready to transplant – the bigger the seedling is when first transplanted, the less stressful the transition will be on the plant. Jiffy 7 Pellets are great for germination, and seedlings can be potted into 1.5lt or 5lt Thermoform Plant Pots, using a seedling mix, like Freedom Farms SeedStarter. Once repotted, water seedlings well, to allow the substrate to compact and settle onto the seedling’s root ball. Light feeding can the begin, using nutrients of your choice, given in concentrations that fall in line with the feeding requirements of the type of plant at its current size.

Germinating vegetable seeds is a critical phase in the life cycle of plants, marked by the emergence of a new seedling from its dormant state. This process involves carefully providing the optimal conditions for the seed to break dormancy and initiate growth. Seeds typically require a combination of moisture, warmth, and oxygen to activate enzymes that trigger germination. It’s like nature’s own version of a startup launch – a seed’s way of saying, “I’m ready to grow!”

As the seed absorbs water, it swells, and metabolic activity resumes, leading to the emergence of the radicle, the embryonic root. This marks the beginning of root development and is followed by the appearance of cotyledons, the embryonic leaves. The cotyledons provide the initial burst of energy for the seedling until true leaves take over. It’s a meticulously choreographed botanical ballet taking place beneath the soil surface, where each step is essential for the successful establishment of the plant. So, whether it’s a tomato or a radish, the germination process is the green light for a vegetable seed to embark on its journey to becoming a mature, harvest-ready plant.

Amblyseius Swirskii

Amblyseius Swirskii

Amblyseius-Swirskii-Sachet-2023Amblyseius Swirskii is a predatory mite supplied by BioBee South Africa, who are actively providing IPM solutions which reduce the use of pesticides for both conventional and bio-organic agriculture in the country.

Sold by Hydroponic.co.za in 5g sachets, which are hooked onto plant stems close to leaves. The mites will emerge from the holes in the top of the sachets over a number of days, eager to find food and help with the elimination of the following pests:

  • Sweet potato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) – targets immature stages
  • Greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariprum) – targets immature stages
  • Young larvae of Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) – targets immature stages
  • Two-spotted spider mite and red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae, T. cinnabarinus)
  • Broad mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus)

The release rate depends upon the nature of the crop, the ecosystem (e.g. open field or greenhouse) and the rate of pest infestation. Temperatures of 21-27°C and high humidity (above 60%) will enhance predator activity and ensure its success. Make sure that the holes of each sachet are indeed open, to ensure that the mites will be able to crawl out of it easily. (Holes can be enlarged slightly, using a pen or pencil). For faster dispersion, the sachets can be torn open and the contents sprinkled onto the plant’s leaves.

Amblyseius Swirskii should be shipped and stored at temperatures ranging from around 6 – 16 °C and the sachets should be viable for up to 3 weeks after the production date printed on each sachet.

Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm

Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm

The Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm will filter out small bits of debris that are present in a water tank or nutrient reservoir. This will help prevent piping and Aquavalve blockages from happening. This is very handy when using water sources that may contain particulates, for example rainwater. in your feeding or watering systems. Rainwater harvested from rooftops often has grit, leaves, twigs and other bio-matter in it and these will eventually get stuck inside small diameter piping or Aquavalves, leading to improper functioning of the system.

Contrary to clear plastic inline water filters this black plastic filter will block out all sunlight from penetrating into the water / nutrient solution. Any clear piping or fitting used in the supply lines of water and especially nutrient solutions will cause algae growth to form inside these clear areas, which may spread to other parts of the system.

The filter has barbed connections on each side, with the shaft outer diameter being about 12.5cm. TIP: If you are connecting piping to the filter, stick the end of the piping into a bit of boiled water to soften up the pipe. This will allow for much easier fitment.

The Autopot inline filter has mesh size small enough to catch particles that may cause problems in an Autopot system, but will still let through very small particles, bordering on silt / sludge. We advise consulting an irrigation supply store with regards to getting rid of extremely small or fine types of particulates.

Filter mesh size of the Autopot Inline Water Filter can be seen in the picture below:

Garden HighPro Vertical Wall Propots

Garden HighPro Vertical Wall Propots

Garden HighPro Vertical Wall Propots: These strong and long lasting vertical fabric pot hangers have a waterproof canvas backing with metal mounting rings punched through them for easy installation. Please note that some moisture may however seep through the stitching in the canvas.

The breathable geotextile fabric that the front potting cavities are made out of promotes soil aeration and air-pruning and also allows the substrate to dry out, so that roots do not stay waterlogged.

Create a beautiful vertical plant wall quickly and easily or use them to grow a lot more plants where space is limited.
Dimensions of Canvas backings:
  • 12Pot: 100cm (H) x 90cm (W)
  • 8Pot: 100cm (H) x 60cm (W)
  • 4Pot: 100cm (H) x 30cm (W)
We recommend using a light Coco Coir and Perlite substrate and to avoid heavy, dense potting soils when filling the pots for planting. Also water lightly (even if watering needs to happen more frequently) to avoid the strain that the additional weight of fully saturated substrate will place on the mountings of your vertical unit.
Watering your Garden HighPro Vertical Wall Propots can be made easier with automation: Button drippers that are connected to your current residential irrigation system can be installed to water each pot cavity. Choose a button dripped that will emit just the right amount of water for each pot during your regular watering schedule. Button drippers require a few Bars of water pressure to function correctly, so will not work with low pressure water pumps. If you are building an automated or semi-automated watering system for your vertical wall using a low pressure water pump, use arrow drippers instead.

Garden HighPro ProNets

Garden HighPro ProNets

Garden HighPro ProNets are soft elastic rubber stretch nets (trellis nets) that provide versatile plant support for training, leveling or supporting flowering plants or climbing / vining vegetable plants. The nets can be installed vertically or horizontally depending on your application.

These durable and long-lasting stretchable nets include 2 hook sizes, enabling fitment on grow tent poles of up to 30mm in diameter. These hooks can also be used to clip multiple nets together when scrogging larger areas.

Garden HighPro ProNets can be used in grow tents and other grow spaces of up to 1.5 square meters and the nets can be hooked together to cover even larger areas. Use the 120 sized net for tents up to 1.2m x 1.2m and the 150 sized net for 1.5m x 1.5m tents.

Squares Per Tent Size - ProNets

Trellising your plants into a flat canopy, a.k.a. scrogging (Screens of Green) has the advantage of creating a flat plane of plant tops/stems, where all budding sites can get uniform, maximized light from your light-source. There is a zone of about 6 to 10 inches from the top of your plant canopy where light still has a good chance of penetration and it is in this zone where you will get the best flower formation. Growers often trim off all shoots and leaves that are lower than this area of penetration early in the bloom cycle, knowing that the energy that would have gone into forming tiny little flowers in this dark, lower area will now put be put to much better use in forming bigger flowers and fruits in the well-lit top canopy.
