BudBox™ is still the ONLY grow tent that takes the time and care to powder coat our poles and connectors, delivering the best possible anti-corrosion protection and a very clean and reflective look.

Let’s talk about light. You plants need PAR light to grow and flower. PAR is an acronym for Photosynthetic Active Radiation; plants love the blue and red light from 400 to 750nm. Blue light tends to help the plants grow strong leaves and stems and the red part helps with flowering. BudBox™ Pro–White models reflects more PAR than Mylar material and at the same time reduce troublesome hot spots (concentrated heat energy) and, as such, will always the professional’s choice when it comes to horticulture. Not only is the flat white material reflecting more PAR light directly to your plants it reflects less of the overall unused spectrum. With light energy comes heat energy and the Pro-white lining will always run cooler than a standard Mylar tent. The Mylar material will reflect more heat energy, therefore, will run hotter (around 6-8degC) as such, the these units require greater ventilation, or the use of less powerful lighting, so the environment does not overheat and damage your plants.

Atami Cocos Substrate

Atami Cocos Substrate

Atami Cocos Substrate is a high quality growing medium comprised of coco fibres extracted from the mesocarp of the coconut. It is a 100% natural product and designed so that it can be used immediately.

The Atami Cocos Substrate is unique in the fact that it is a coco with light fertiliser included, sufficient enough for the 1st week of plant growth. The buffering ensures the grower has optimum control of pH levels. After the first week you can add water with liquid fertilisers and stimulators to gain optimal growing results. Because of the structure of coco, it can store nutrients that are continually available for the plant.

Cocos Substrate is produced under controlled conditions, which is an assurance of quality and offers the ability to use it over and over again after each growing cycle. It can absorb plenty of water in a short period of time and can also deliver water rapidly and abundantly.

The roots also have plenty of available oxygen, which keeps them active. Despite the absence of residual water, there is always enough humidity for the plant.

Coco substrate is light and stable and is one of the best mediums for providing oxygen to the roots of the growing plants. Atami coco substrates are internationally certified by RHP, a foundation whose aim is to optimize the quality of growing mediums.

The coconut fibres have been washed, steamed and buffered to ensure that the substrate is free from any pathogens and unwanted elements, giving an optimum growing substrate that is suitable for both seeds and cuttings.

Eazyplug Pyramid and Block Air pruning

EazyPlug: 100% success rate

EazyPlug has, with its organic materials and our special way of bonding, a predetermined pH and EC value and a fixed air-to-water ratio. The EazyPlug is very easy to use. Just make sure that the plug always can drain the excess water and you cannot overwater it. Because the growing conditions are always optimal, the EazyPlug creates a very fast and powerful rooting and germination.

Germinating seeds

Fully moisten the plug and put your seed in the seed hole. Put a thin layer of Eazy Mixx top-layer soil (arriving next year) or Promix on top of the plug and spray thoroughly with water. Make sure the plug can drain excess water and put it away in a humid and warm environment. Then wait to see the miracle happening. It is that simple!

Strike cuttings

Fully moisten the plug and put your cutting all the way into the cutting hole. Make sure the EazyPlug can drain excess water and put it away in a humid and warm environment. No rooting gel or powder is necessary.

Easy to transplant

The Eazy Plug will always remain firmly bonded together as a whole. This minimizes the risk on root damage during sorting, transplanting or replanting, thus preventing the plant from diseases.

How to strike cuttings with Eazy Plug

Step 1: Moisten the Eazy Plug
Allow the Eazy Plugs to fully suck up water with a pH of 5.8.
Let it drain out excess water. Do not squeeze out or dry the plugs. Eazy Plugs are self-regulating and will only hold the water they need for an optimum moisture level and an optimum air-to-water ratio. The plug will feel much heavier than Rock-Wool, but that’s normal.

Step 2: Take cutting 
For a more detailed explanation of taking cuttings click here.
Cut diagonally at a 45 degree angle just below a node or stem swelling, making sure to keep at least 3 nodes above your intersection.
Remove all but a couple of leaves. Scrape a little of the outer layer at the bottom of the cutting, but not all around. Cut off ⅓ of the top of remaining big leaves.

Step 3: Root stimulator
If you want to make use of a rooting powder (for example Rhizopon), dip the base of your fresh cut cutting into the rooting powder.

Step 4: Insertion in Eazy Plug
Insert the cutting into the Eazy Plug cutting hole. Make sure to insert it deeply enough, completely to the bottom of the cutting hole.

Step 5: Put into propagator
Put the tray with Eazy Plug into a propagator.
Close the lid of the propagator and shut any present air vents to keep the humidity inside the system.

Step 6: Remoistening and fresh air
Only remoisten the Eazy Plug after 3 days and keep on doing that every 3 days until the first appearance of roots.
Briefly open the propagator every day for a little fresh air.
Open the air vents slightly at the earliest after 4-5 days. Humidity should remain above 80%, as too much loss of humidity can seriously effect your success rate.

Step 7: Assure drainage of excess water
Make sure Eazy Plug is able to drain excess water at all times, so it can always self-regulate the correct amount of moisture. Never let the bottom of the Eazy Plug touch water, as the moisture absorption of Eazy Plug is exceptionally good and the Eazy Plug will quickly become too wet, which will have a negative effect on the rate of success.

Step 8: Open air vents
After the first roots have developed, you can gradually open the air vents further in order to acclimate the cutting to a less humid environment.

Step 9: Transplant
In 7-9 days from start your cutting should have grown its roots throughout the Eazy Plug and it is time to transplant them.

Conditions for developing roots:
1. Temperature: The optimum soil temperature for striking roots is 22º Celsius. Above 23º Celsius, you must consider a rise in failure rate.
2. RH (humidity): RH of 80-95% is perfect. As the cutting needs its energy for striking roots, the moisture level of leaves and stem should remain intact.
3. Light: In the first few days the cutting will form callus, from which the roots will start to grow. In this phase the cutting only needs tempered light with a broad spectrum (regular assimilation light). After the development of roots the amount of light can be gradually increased.

EazyPlug Pyramid

EazyPlug Pyramid

Eazyplug Pyramid and Block Air pruning

Stronger, healthier plants in less time

The EazyPlug Pyramid is an amazing new development for the horticultural sector.  Its optimized growing volume, equivalent to 13,5 ltr (3 gal), is enough for a whole crop cycle. It is also enhancing all of the unsurpassed characteristics of the Eazy Plug. Like predetermined and buffered pH and EC values, or the completely self regulating air-to-water ratio. You could truly say that the Eazy Pyramid is the next evolution in organic growing.

Dense root structure caused by air pruning

EazyPlug Pyramid is bonded firmly to be used without a plastic wrapping. This way roots will stop growing when meeting air at the outside of the block. As a result the roots will start growing new root branches inside the block, seriously increasing the number of absorbing rootlets in the block and creating a much more dense rooting system. It is called the air pruning effect. This way the absorption capability of the root structure is maximized for the best possible intake of nutrients and fluids.

Limitless shelf life

The EazyPlug Pyramid is supplied dried, making it clean and lightweight, with limitless shelf life and no risk of molds. A dry EazyPlug Pyramid takes water back up very easily and quickly, retaining all of its former characteristics. So altogether easy to use.

Fast and healthy plant development

As a result the effective root surface area of your plant will be much bigger, and with it the uptake of water with the beneficial nutrients you are adding. Your plant will grow faster, will be healthier and produce higher yields than in any other available growing medium.

advised. In such case photosynthetic algae like green algae can occur.
This does not effect plant life and is only an optical issue. Green algae
can be easily treated with fungicides and/or a light copper solution.

YoYo Plant Trainer

YoYo Plant Trainer

The YoYo Plant Trainer are superb for separating and spreading out your plant stems. Attach the yoyo to your tent-frame or grow-room wall and then pull out the angled hook and clip it around the plant-stem. The gentle tension in the yoyo will then pull the plant-stem out. Great for getting plants to open out for increased yields!

  • YoYo Plant Trainer – one of our most popular plant-training / support devices
  • Contains a 1.2m long nylon line with an angled hook for clipping around a stem
  • Light spring tension in the yo-yo gently pulls the stem toward the reel
  • Alternatively, you can insert the included plastic stopper to keep the line at a static length.
  • Attach yo-yo to your tent-fame or grow-room wall and gently open your plant out to receive more of the available light
  • Helps you to make the most of your grow-space and light
  • Re-useable many times

The YoYo Plant Trainer Contains:

1 x YoYo Plant Trainer

How the YoYo Plant Trainer Works:

The yo-yo plant trainer consists of a 1.2 metre long nylon line (similar to fishing line) which is wound onto a lightly sprung reel inside the yo-yo’s housing. An angled hook is attached to the end of the nylon line for clipping around a plant-stem and there is hanging hook on the yo-yo reel housing for attaching to a grow-tent frame or your grow-room wall (via a cup-hook or similar). The tension is fairly consistent over the 1.2 metres of the travel but inevitably there is slightly more tension on the line at full extension than there is when only a few centimetres has been pulled out.

Using the Yo-Yo Plant Trainer

Yo-Yo plant trainers are mainly for use on mature plants as they reach the end of the vegetative phase and also especially during flowering/fruiting. Plant-stems on young plants are usually too thin and delicate for this type of training. During the flowering/fruiting time, plants tend to grow upwards but not outwards, leading to the stems getting bunched together. By opening out the plant, each stem will get more light lower down, encouraging more flower or fruiting sites.

Attach the yo-yo body to the outside of your grow-space (i.e to your grow-tent or grow-room wall) via the clip. Pull the hook out and clip it around the plant-stem. The plant-stem will now be gently pulled towards the yo-yo body, opening the plant out. Use as many yo-yo’s as necessary, pulling in different directions, to open out your plant to receive more light and increase the number of flowering or fruiting sites which will eventually increase yields.

If you are lucky enough to have stems bowing under the weight of your crop at the end of the flowering or fruiting stage then yo-yo’s can be attached to the ceiling / tent-roof frame, to provide upwards support to the plant-stems. This will help prevent stems from bowing downwards away from the light and also from breaking under the weight of the produce!

Aeroponic Cloner usage instructions

Aeroponic Cloner
Aeroponic Cloner usage instructions:
 1) There is a drainage fitting on the bottom of your reservoir, which should be pulled out and re-inserted so that the pipe and plug sticks out on the outside of the reservoir instead of being on the inside. Pulling out the plug would let you easily drain the reservoir into a bucket at a later stage if needed. A water valve may optionally be attached to the outlet (Not included in kit)
DWC Outlet position
2) Find a suitable setup location. Avoid places that will get too hot and be in a lot of direct sunlight (Esp afternoon sun). Make sure that your electricity supply will never get wet, even in case of accidental spillages.
3) Straighten out the short length of pipe that you will be connecting to the water pump – don’t worry about putting kinks in it, they actually help to keep staying straight.
4) Connect the water pump to the misting manifold using only the basic, straight connector. (Do not use the water pump’s venturi fitting or its clear air tubing). Position your pump & manifold setup nicely in the middle of the reservoir, with the power cord hanging out over the lip of the reservoir.
5) Add enough water to the reservoir to at least cover the pump with 5cm’s of water. Pump must remain fully submerged at all times when turned on. Some people choose to add things to the water in the reservoir at this point ( e.g. our “Striker Cloning Gel” and/or a VERY weak dosage of hydroponic nutrients, both of which could speed up the rooting and subsequent growth of the cuttings. It is not advised to add anything to the water that will form any kind of residue / sludge as this will only clog the misting nozzles )
6) Prepare your cuttings in the prescribed way ( Species dependent ). Insert cuttings into the centers of the foam disks provided, stick these into the tops of your net pots & stick the net pots into your cloner. Cutting size should ideally match the cloner’s dimensions, with the rooting node hanging slightly above the bottom of the net pot and the leaves not touching the top of the provided clear plastic humidity dome.
7) Make sure that all 22 holes have a net pot and foam disk in them ( Even if there is no cutting in it ). Cuttings could also be covered with humidity dome if required, which will help prevent leaves from drying out. ( Excess humidity could potentially cause mold or rot as well, and should be monitored closely. Dome should also be lifted every now and again to let fresh air in. ) Cutting leaves could also be misted with a spray-bottle periodically.
8) Cloner can now be turned on to start the rooting process. Remember to check your water level from time to time to time !
  • Depending on the type of plant, roots may start appearing from as little as 5 days.
  • Cuttings should be checked regularly to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible.
  • Cloner could be put on an outlet timer if only required to operate at certain intervals.
  • Cuttings should ideally be removed before their roots get too difficult to gently pull out of the net pots.
  • Avoid any rapid environmental changes when moving cuttings out of the cloner to a new location.

Happy Growing !!!
