A MistMaker 5 Float allows a Mistmaker 5‘s mist head to float freely around a water filled container at the idea depth below the water’s surface. As the water is atomized by the ultrasonic ceramic disks housed inside the mist head, the water level in the container will recede over time. This can happen quite quickly, with the capacity of the MistMaker 5 Ultrasonic Humidifier being 1.6lt /per hour.
The float allows the mist head to recede as the water recedes, always being at the right level beneath the water’s surface. This is obviously a vast improvement over having a static mist head, where a lower water level can quickly cause the MistMaker to cut out. (A built-in safety feature of these units).
The Mistmaker 5 mist head’s dimensions are: 85mm diameter, 55mm height (incl. water level sensor) and this float is made to accommodate it at the optimal level beneath the water.
The diameter of the float is 20cm and its full height is 7.5cm.
********************
The MistMaker 5 Ultrasonic Humidifier is a great tool to use to increase humidity in an enclosed space. The MistMaker can also be used for foliar feeding or aeroponic root feeding, as plant leaves and roots are able to absorb the minute water particles very easily.
Pot Scrog Pot Stake – Making it easier to trim, train, and secure your favorite plants, the Pot Stake takes up less space than a Pot SCROG Scrog Frame and can be installed next to an established plant quickly.
The horizontal bar that will rest on the surface of your potting medium is 22cm long, with 4 screw-heads that can be used to tie down branches during low stress training using a roll of Twist Tie, for example. The 2 vertical prongs that will provide stability to the Pot Stake are 21cm long, while the height of the stake from the horizontal bar is 74cm. The stake has 4 horizontal supports spaced along its height, providing ample anchoring or training support for your plant.
Use Green Stretchy Tape for softer stems, to not damage the plant tissue while tying down.
This stake is ideal for holding up maturing Cannabis stalks, especially in windy environments, as well for growing small Chili varieties , Beans, Peas and other vines or creepers.

Ah, the drama of mature plant stalks – they’re like the divas of the garden, always threatening to make a grand entrance by dramatically falling over. It’s as if they’ve been rehearsing a Shakespearean tragedy and decided, “To lean or not to lean, that is the question.” Picture your plants swaying like elegant ballerinas, but when they get tired, instead of a graceful curtsy, they opt for a dramatic collapse. Enter the plant stakes – the unsung heroes of the garden. These stakes are like the backstage crew, working tirelessly to ensure that your plants stay on their feet and avoid a horticultural catastrophe. So, here’s to the mature plant stalks and their penchant for theatrics, and here’s to the sturdy stakes that keep the garden stage upright, saving us from a Shakespearean tragedy in the veggie patch!
Basil Culinary Blend – Why plant one type of basil when you can plant them ALL? This mixed pack includes Genovese, Corsican, Lemon and Cinnamon Basil. Because variety is the spice of life. (Sorry, we can’t help ourselves). Basil and tomatoes go together like mac ‘n cheese. (Just way better for you). Genovese works especially well in pestos, and fish dishes will benefit from a touch of this fragrant herb. Curious about the Cinnamon variety? It tastes like Christmas. If Christmas were basil.
Cucumber Crystal Apple – We were going to start with a cucumber joke, but we’re not that kind of brand. Instead, we’ll tell you how this unusual variety got its name. It was once dubbed “Apple Cucumber,” due to its size and shape, whilst others called it “Crystal Lemon” for its pale yellow colour. The names were mushed together and the plant is now known as the Crystal Apple Cucumber. (Creative stuff, eh?). When mature, the Crystal Apple’s pale, greenish-white skin resembles a Granny Smith apple. To appreciate the smooth, creamy fruits, enjoy them while they’re young. In addition to being the butt of the joke we’ll never tell you, they make a bright, scrumptious addition to salads.
Kale Dinosaur – The Italians call it Cavolo Nero, and yes, that sounds like the name of an eccentric millionaire who wears suits on yachts. Imagine our disappointment when we found out that it actually means “black cabbage.” In an effort to never be misled by the musical beauty of their language again, we’re firmly calling it Dinosaur Kale and brainstorming T-Rex jokes like the heathens we are. Take that, Italy. A hearty cooking green, this variety offers up more than 100% of your daily vitamin A and K requirements, which is particularly impressive if you had no idea that there was such a thing as vitamin K. Use it to make caldo verde, which is Portuguese for “green soup” (seriously, English is the most boring language) and slurp on it whilst watching Jurassic Park.
Kale Vates Blue Curled – When something hails from Scotland, you know it’s going to be hardy, tough to pronounce and happiest in cool weather. This variety of kale has finely curled blue-green leaves and grows low to the ground. Use a “cut-and-come-again” approach for best results, and trim the inner leaves as they mature. If you haven’t heard of the kale revolution, your favourite food is probably hotdogs and you still listen to Dubstep. Just joking. (Or are we?). Kale can be baked like potato chips, cooked in traditional dishes, blended in smoothies, added to salads… it’s super nutritious and quite possibly the trendiest leaf on the planet right now.
Lettuce Gourmet Salad Blend – A tasty, colourful mix of five loose leaf varieties. They range from shades of green to red, with textures from oak leaf to tightly ruffled. Sow this exciting mix every week to ten days for a constant supply of fresh salad leaves throughout the season. Goodbye, soggy packets of store-bought fridge lettuce. Fast-growing, tender, and selected for a long harvest, our Gourmet Salad Blend is best when picked minutes before your meal. You can practically taste the sunshine on your plate.
Micro Greens Old Mexico – Tacos, tequila and and this blend of micro greens are just a few of the (admittedly stereotypical) things we love about Mexico. It consists of coriander, red beets, cabbage, radish and pepper cress, which would probably all taste surprisingly good in a taco. How did we only think of that now… Micro greens look great on a plate and add a flavour kick, which is why they’re primarily used in fine dining restaurants – but you don’t have to be a fancy chef to grow them. Hey, we just gave you that amazing taco idea.
Micro Greens Oriental Mix – Like any great eighties mixtape, this combination includes some spicy covers (rocket, red mustard) and smooth originals (coriander, Asian cabbage). Throw in some names you’ve never heard of (Mizuna, Hon Tsai Tai) and you’ve got a soundtrack for the perfect salad. Man, we love mixtapes. And metaphors about microgreens. Good on roasted root veg? Definitely. Tasty atop an Asian stir fry? Obviously. Delicious sprinkled over a meat dish? Why, of cou- (We can go all day, but have only a few lines left, so we’ve decided to let you harvest the young shoots of this delicate blend and discover for yourself that they work with ANY dish).
Micro Greens Rainbow Blend – Some say that size isn’t everything (that’s a debate for another day) but when it comes to this blend of micro greens, we agree with them. This colourful flavour combo of beetroot, Asian cabbage, kohlrabi, Italian broccoli and radish is easy to grow and super tasty. Sow every 5-10 days and snip with scissors when 2-4cm high. Harvest the smallest, most delicate shoots of this blend and sprinkle liberally on summer salads, roasted root veggies and just about any meat dish. Their explosive flavour will win over any lettuce-hater. (Also, why are you friends with lettuce-haters?)
Lettuce Mini Greens – No, they’re not sprouts, and they’re not baby greens either. They are a complete veggie in miniature form – a colourful mixture of red and green lettuce varieties that just happen to be adorably small. Unlike the teacup pig you bought from that totally legit guy on the side of the road, they will not “grow up” to be any bigger than they are at 15 days.
Pepper Chilli Ghost Chilli / Bhut Jolokia (BEYOND HOT) – The Bhut Jolokia is better known as the “ghost chilli” or “ghost pepper”, and was once considered the hottest chilli in the world. It cracks a whopping 1 million units on the Scoville Scale of hotness (which has nothing to do with its looks, and everything to do with how it can burn your lips off). Cut rather than pull the ripe fruit, and stake big plants to one meter. This fiery pepper originated in the land of all things spicy: Northern India. Its orange / red lantern-shaped fruits have a hint of citrus flavour, but we doubt you’ll taste that for very long once you’ve bitten into one. Ideal for pot growing, this variety produces an abundance of pods with breathtakingly intense heat.
Pepper Chilli Habanero Mixed Colours – Ready to set your garden on fire? No, not like that, put the blowtorch down, we didn’t mean that… This selection of spicy Habaneros comes in a unique range of colours and are great for growing in large pots. The lantern-shaped fruits ripen to mature colours of chocolate, mustard, orange, peach, red, white and yellow. Habanero chillies have a deliciously pungent, smoky quality. The official heat scale for chillies is known as the Scoville Scale (developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912) and Habaneros score at a terrifying 200,000 to 300,000. In the words of Paris Hilton, “that’s hot.”
Pepper Sweet Mini Belle Blend – Every garden needs at least one adorable veggie. The dwarf, compact plants of the Sweet Pepper Mini Belle produce a huge crop of small, block-shaped peppers. They come in red, orange and chocolate colours, and are almost too cute to eat. Almost. This variety is sweet with few seeds, so they produce very little waste. They are thinner-skinned than larger peppers and their texture withstands grilling and cooking well. Essentially they’re perfect in every way.
Pepper Sweet Pepperone Corno di Torro Rosso – The name of this Italian heirloom translates to “horn of the bull”, which makes it sound like a fiery beast of a pepper that might just kill you. However, its name is actually a tribute to the pepper’s full, tapered shape. (Phew). It does have a subtle heat, of course – which gently increases as the pepper matures – but this variety ripens to a bright red fruit with a sweet, crisp flavour. The Corno di Toro (we could say that all day) has a thick flesh that is encased in a thin skin. It’s delicious raw, fried, stuffed or just grilled on the braai. We can basically hear you nodding in approval.
Tomato Artisan Bumble Bee Mix – In the world of tomatoes, we just know the Bumble Bee Mix is strutting its stuff in Prada. Each one is a striped sensation, outside and in, comprising pink, purple, and sunrise Bumble Bee tomatoes – it’s a blend that’s as unique as it is stylish. Just like fashion icons, these cherry tomatoes are big on production, ensuring a bountiful yield throughout the season. These juicy delights are not just for show; they’re big on flavour, perfect for snacking right off the vine or adding a touch of chic to your salsa, and when mixed together, they create a stunning salad ensemble, reminiscent of a high-quality fashion collection.
Tomato Black Krim – This delicious heirloom tomato originates from Crimea, and if you don’t know where that is, join the club. The dark brownish-red tomatoes look almost rotten, but have a wonderful smoky-sweet taste that is totally unique to the variety. They’re hardy and heat tolerant, but help them out a little and stake for support. We might not know anything about Crimea, but we do know a thing or two about eating these beefsteak tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes are bred for flavour, and simple preparation allows the intense taste of Black Krim to shine.
Tomato Green Zebra – Oh Mother Nature, you clever thing. This beauty has exquisite emerald skin, dark green vertical stripes and gently flavourful flesh. It’s a rich tomato with a sweet, sharp bite and requires staking for support. For best flavour, keep Green Zebras at room temperature. The acidity of green tomatoes works well in different dishes, but they’re most famous for being fried. (If you haven’t watched the movie, now you have an excuse to.)
Tomato Heirloom Rainbow Mix – Give a man tomatoes, feed him for a day. Give him the seeds to grow them, and he’ll frolic in a rainbow-colored field of this tasty heirloom variety forever. This mix includes purple, green, red, pink, yellow, black, orange and a white variety, all of which were originally grown by Thomas Jefferson, the USA statesman and experimental farmer. Follow his lead and stake them for support. This beefsteak mix has been described as “super cool” (by us) and its flavors range from mild, to sweet, to tangy. Heirloom tomatoes are fragile and bruise easily, so they should be used immediately upon ripening. Challenge accepted.
Tomato Principe Borghese – Tomayto, tomahto… nope, definitely tomahto. Sorry America. This plum-shaped variety is an Italian heirloom, and its meaty fruits are best when sundried. Plant marigold lemon drop nearby to prevent nematode infection of the soil, and stake plants for support. (How smart did we sound there?). In dry areas, hang up branches of these tomatoes until leathery – then store in olive oil till needed. We could tell you about how great they are when roasted and tossed into salads, or how the rich flavour does something wonderful to sauces… but we’ll let you find that out for yourself.
Tomato Rainbow Cherry Mix – This is our special magical mix of cherry tomatoes: red, yellow, orange, pink, white, green, brown, bi-colour. Juicy, sweet and colourful! Impress family and friends with this and make meals and snacks more fun. This mix of small tomatoes will add interest and taste to a whole host of tomato dishes. The fruits have a delicious flavour and a high level of sweetness. Stake plants for support.
Tomato San Marzano – Legend has it that the first seed of the San Marzano Tomato came to Campania in 1770, as a gift from the Kingdom of Peru to the Kingdom of Naples. Hey, we would’ve preferred a chest of gold… but now we all get to grow this classic Italian plum tomato, so that’s also pretty cool. Thanks, Peru. San Marzano is considered by many chefs to be the best in the world. We tend to agree with those chefs. Its skin is an intense red and it peels off easily, which is always a plus. Very little has to be done to these tomatoes to make them taste awesome. That always gets our vote.

Clear Plastic Orchid Pots, round, 11.5 cm top diameter. Please note, plastic material is not 100% clear and transparent, but is a bit opaque, as can be seen in the product image.
Top Diameter: 11.5 cm, Bottom Diameter: 8.5 cm, Height: 11 cm, Volume: 700 ml
Clear plastic pots are particularly vital for orchids due to the unique nature of their roots. Orchids possess specialized aerial roots that differ significantly from those of conventional plants. These roots are adapted to absorb moisture and nutrients from the air, making them especially sensitive to their immediate environment.
The transparency of clear plastic pots is paramount in understanding the intricacies of orchid root systems. It provides an unobstructed view of these unique roots, allowing growers to closely monitor their growth and health. This visual clarity is invaluable in ensuring that orchids do not become root-bound, a condition that can severely impede their growth.
Moreover, clear plastic pots facilitate superior light penetration to the roots, a critical factor for orchids. Unlike other plants, orchids derive a significant portion of their nutrition from photosynthesis in their roots. Clear pots allow natural light to stimulate this vital process, encouraging the production of energy-rich compounds.
Additionally, they enable growers to precisely assess moisture levels, reducing the risk of overwatering, which is particularly detrimental to orchids. It also allows for early intervention in case roots become tangled or constrained, preventing potential harm to the plant.
In conclusion, the choice of Clear Plastic Orchid Pots is of paramount importance for orchid enthusiasts. It not only offers a clear window into the health and growth of their specialized roots but also supports their unique nutritional needs, ultimately contributing to the thriving success of these exquisite plants.
Utilizing expanded clay balls as a growing substrate for orchids further optimizes their unique root requirements. These lightweight, porous balls provide excellent aeration and drainage, mimicking the orchid’s natural epiphytic habitat. Their structure promotes air circulation around the roots, preventing them from becoming waterlogged. Additionally, expanded clay balls offer stability and support for orchids, ensuring their delicate roots have a secure foundation for healthy growth. This substrate choice complements the benefits of clear plastic pots, creating an ideal environment for thriving orchids with vibrant, robust root systems.
The Sonoff TH Elite (the upgraded version of the Sonoff TH) is a Temperature and Humidity monitoring WiFi smart switch with an LCD screen.
It interfaces with the eWeLink home automation smartphone app, allowing you to monitor and automate your grow area, or other spaces like your home or office.
The TH Elite can be programmed from the app to provide current (electricity) to equipment in many ways…
Schedules and Timers (Even schedules with 100’s of short ON and OFF cycles per day – as is necessary when doing aeroponics)
“Scenes” can also be set up, using data from the sensor that is plugged into the TH Elite – when certain conditions are met, the switch turns ON or OFF, e.g: IF Temperature sensor reads more than 28 degrees, turn Fan ON.
You can use the data from the TH Elite to control other Sonoff smart switches (even ones that work on the Zigbee protocol). Data from Zigbee sensors can also turn the TH Elite switch on or off.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
No system is perfect – always monitor your automation to ensure that your plants aren’t in danger!
Not all electrical equipment is suitable for remote operation – some may “light up” (Power up) when its smart switch engages (turns ON), but it may still need a person to press a button on the device, or its remote, before it will actually start to OPERATE.
Sensors for the TH Elite are SOLD SEPARATELY
This is the 20Amp version – do not wire up equipment of more than 20Amp!
The sensor connector has been upgraded to RJ9 which supports hot-plugging, making the connection more stable and reliable.

The 50mm Microgreen Tray Without Holes has no drainage holes and is 275mm wide and 535mm long.
With its 50mm height, it can be filled to the brim using only about 7.5 liters of growing medium.
Coco coir based substrates/growing mediums are a very popular choice for growing microgreensat home, as it is a soft and airy medium with great moisture retention. Because the microgreen growing cycle is so short, with the seedling relying mostly on nutrients stored inside the seed itself, adding any supplements or additional nutrients to your substrate is not a necessity at all, although a lot of people do add a little bit of worm castings to their mixes, claiming better results.
Once you have added your substrate into the tray, water or mist spray lightly if the substrate is on the dry side and tamp the substrate down very lightly by hand, to get it to settle and flatten out nicely. Then gently sprinkle your seeds across the surface. Once this is done, a VERY thin layer of additional substrate may be sprinkled over the top of the seeds (using a baking sieve, for example)
Place the trays into a suitable environment for germination and mist or spray the top of the substrate regularly to prevent it from drying out. (A propagation dome will help keep substrate moist until your seeds have germinated, saving you a lot of effort. Remove the ). Do not overspray, as this will cause overly wet “swampy” subsurface conditions! Just keep the substrate slightly moist at all times.
Once your seeds have sprouted and grown to a harvestable size, you are able to clip off the delicious micro-leaves for your dishes and salads with a pair of pruning scissors.
The 50mm Microgreen Tray Without Holes can also be used as a drip tray for potted plants, which will catch runoff during watering or flushing.
Schedules and Timers (Even schedules with 100’s of short ON and OFF cycles per day – as is necessary when doing aeroponics)
“Scenes” can also be set up, using data from other Sonoff devices, like the TH Elite, or data coming in from Zigbee devices – when certain conditions are met, set up which Basic R2 Smart Switch to turn on or off.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:

Six Port Sprinkler Bubbler Manifold – an ideal component if you are building a small or medium sized automated watering system!
This economical sprinkler manifold screws into standard so called 1/2″ (approx. 17mm) male threaded sprinkler adaptor fittings and allows for the connection of up to 6 “5mm” irrigation lines. These 5mm watering lines (commonly in use in residential and agricultural irrigation and often referred to as micro-sprinkler piping) can each water an individual potted plant. Fewer lines can be utilized as well – simply leave the end caps that the unit comes with attached to each outlet that is not being used.
The water output per line per minute will of course be determined by the amount of water pressure that the Six Port Sprinkler Bubbler Manifold is connected to – pond pump normally do not provide lots of pressure, and if they are used, the pump may have to remain on for a longer period of time before the desired amount of water has been applied to each pot. A simple test can be run after the watering system has been installed, to see how many liters of water is provided by each outlet per minute – simply place an outlet inside of a measuring jug and use your smartphone’s stopwatch function to run the pump for one minute. Then see how much water has been added to the jug.
Multiple manifolds can be used to set up a single watering system, but remember that increased pump sizes / increased water pressures will be need as the number of manifolds are increased. The output of each manifold and 5mm irrigation line may also vary – depending on the way that the system is set up… if the water pressure in the main supply line is not equalized, the manifold furthest from the water source inlet will have a smaller flowrate than the closer ones. 5mm lines that are substantially longer than the others will also have a lesser flow-rate.
Analogue or digital timers can be used to automatically turn watering on and off during a 24 hr or weekly period.
USE PLUMBER’S TAPE ON THE MALE FITTING TO ENSURE A WATERTIGHT CONNECTION!!
TIP: A simple pressure-equalizing base can easily be constructed with a bit of piping and irrigation fittings, as in the picture below…
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.

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…
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 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 !
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.
