LED Grow Lights, Lighting
Plants obviously need Sun light to grow, but when natural sunlight is harder to come by then a great alternative is to grow inside with Grow Lights. There are several different types that you could choose from, including plasma, fluorescent, HID (High-Intensity Discharge), and LED. Out of all the above-mentioned types, LED is worthy of your attention, and here’s why:
1 - Quicker Plant Cycle
Plants do not get sun 24 hours a day, but with LED Grow Lighting, your plants can have access to the 'Sun' for much longer as long as your lights are kept on.
2 - Longer Life Span
LED Grow Lights last much longer than an ordinary bulb
3 - Energy Saving
LED Lighting does not burn anything to get bright meaning a lesser cost to your electricity bill.
4 - Environmently Friendly
LED grow lights, can be fully recycled, making them an eco-friendly alternative to HID lights. Those lights contain fairly high amounts of mercury, which can be very harsh on the environment – especially when it’s burned. LED grow lights, on the other hand, do not contain these harmful substances, which means the air around you and your lights will not be compromised. You’ll be saving yourself and saving the environment, all in one shot.
5 - Healthy Plants
No burning and no UV damage. LED Grow Lights are a much better alternative for the plant and for the environment.

Growing with added UVA and Far Red.
Photosynthetic Active Radiation or PAR refers to the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is visible as light. Plants use this light energy to drive photosynthesis, grow and reproduce. The spectrum is measured in nanometers (nm) and for many years it was agreed that the range of visible light (PAR) sits between 400nm and 700nm. At the low end of the PAR range is blue light and at the upper end is red light.
Recent plant research suggests that expanding the spectrum of light outside of the “traditional” PAR range has significant effects on plant behaviour and that usable range is 380nm to 780nm.
The Dio-Tech UVA/FR Light Bars does just that. It extends the spectrum to include not only visible light, but also UVA and Far Red, for optimal plant performance.
What are the benefits of UVA?
Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 315nm and 400nm is classed as UVA. This wavelength induces a stress response within the plants, much as it does in humans, to develop compounds that will protect its cells from being damaged by prolonged exposure.
Receiving UVA radiation stimulates the plants natural defences and encourages it to develop thicker, waxier leaves. This helps protect the plant against biotic stress factors, like pests, fungal and bacterial pathogens. Research also suggests that UVA deters certain species of sucking insects.
Most importantly, exposure to UVA during the flowering period stimulates the production of resin, terpene and flavonoid compounds, and increases biomass.

Solistek: Let There Be Light!
We syphon through lots of products before deciding whether they are worth putting on our shelves. There’s no point stocking products just for the sake of it, there has got to be something special about them if they want our backing!
Check out this little bit of info on these new, remotely controlled Solis Tek ballasts.
If you are in the market for a new grow light, then you couldn’t really be in much of a better position. There are a huge range of companies now on the market so the choice for you as a grower is pretty phenomenal. If you do need to resort to a cheap hydroponic grow light, then of course that option is there, but you really are missing out considering the how awesome the high end grow lights are now. With ridiculous outputs, wide ranging spectrums and diverse functionalities, Solis Tek products are the perfect example of a good quality grow light that deserves a rightful spot in your grow room.
She’s a looker
So, the first thing that might strike you when you gaze upon the Solis Tek Matrix ballast, is just how god damn sexy it is. With its sleek black metal finish and curvaceous cooling fins, it really does look the part. It is not merely style over subst

Viva la Revolution!
There are a few special times in a lifetime, when something comes along and genuinely makes you double take in awe. The Revolution Deva 1000w DE HPS grow light is precisely one of those products!
We take looking for new products VERY seriously here at Greenspirit Hydroponics. Sometimes it be a little overwhelming for a grower to cut through the marketing jive, as every product is usually claimed to be the best thing since sliced bread. We take pride in cutting through the chaff to make sure you only get products that genuinely do the job, and do it well!
The new 1000w double ended HPS fixture from Revolution Micro, is one product that immediately caught our eye. Why? Well firstly, it looks dead sexy, that usually helps! Secondly, it genuinely has unique features that set it apart from the competition. Thirdly, once we had tested it we were literally blown away at how well it works!
Aptly titled
Yes, it does sound a bit cheesy, but it really is a revolution for an indoor grower. Although, double ended lamps aren’t necessarily much of a new thing anymore, the rest of the technology that makes up the DEva is really what makes it shine. Rather than having been developed for huge, high bay greenhouse installations where a completely different set of principles are required, the Revolution DEva has been designed specifically with the indoor hydroponic grower in mind.

AUTUMN IS ON THE WAY...
It's turning chilly!
As the temperatures drop leading into the winter months, it is important to adapt your grow space accordingly. Here we discuss a few methods of ensuring your plants aren't left out in the cold.
Propagation
Seedlings and cuttings can be extremely vulnerable to cooler temperatures. A heated propagator can assist in maintaining ideal temperatures for starting younger plants. Newly developed roots can become cold and it can stunt their growth and development so a warmer environment is essential for healthy, growing plants.

Young plants can be susceptible to colder months, slowing down their development so applying gentle heat to your plants can accelerate germination by days! A thermostat to maintain optimum temperatures is the perfec
