I use a heat mat every year to germinate my seeds, in fact I have been using the Hydrofarm Seedling Heat Mat for 3 years. I own several of them and it’s something I’ve been happy with up to this point. Here is my Hydrofarm Seedling Heat Mat review: What Is The Hydrofarm Seedling Heat Mat And How Does It Work? Most seeds require warmth to germinate and sticking them by a window often isn’t enough. If you grow all year round, hydroponically or in a green house for example then you’ll really struggle to germinate seeds in the cold weather. At this stage seeds don’t really need light, but [...]

I was wanting to start testing some growth supplements to use on my hydroponically grown tomatoes. I came upon the Superthrive Plant Vitamin Hormone Supplement after reading it was like anabolic steroids for plants! So I began two fresh trays of tomato seeds (globe tomatoes), using the same grow light and very similar hydroponic systems and set ups. The two trays i used were the Hydrofarm EMSYST! Tray 1 contains 1 capful of Superthrive Plant Vitamin Hormone Supplement (topped up every 2 to 3 days) and tray 2 simply water! All other things were kept constant so this is as near a scientific test as possible. I have never carried [...]

Algreen 81001 Cascata 65 Gallon Rain Water Collection and Storage System Review

I decided to look for a good and aesthetically pleasing rain water collection barrel to put in my garden. We live in the desert of south western USA so we need to save every drop of rain water. My idea was to have something that was nice to look at that I could use to water the plants in my garden easily and without having to deal with the pesky hose round the other side of my house. If I could get free and easy access to water in the area that I need it then I could save myself a lot of time and effort over the summer. After [...]

Emily’s Electric Garden System Review I was looking for a small hydroponic gardening system for my son, who’s just starting out in this hobby. I needed something small so that it was easily manageable and also something inexpensive. Since he’s only starting out, and he may quite easily give up on this like he did the guitar, I didn’t want to invest in anything too expensive just in case. If he likes his new hobby, then he can always upgrade later on. I looked at a few small hydroponic systems, however my search finally brought me to the Hydrofarm EMSYST Emily’s Electric Garden System! It is small, just right for [...]
