Further Advancements in the SolarOasis Chip
For example, clients who ordered an LGM3 in January and then order another in June, may find that the LGM3 they order in June puts off more light than the same model from January. This is due to the rapid advancement of LED technology and the dedication of our manufacturer to ensure our clients reap the full benefit of these advancements. Most of the LED grow lights for plants that are offered to consumers are manufactured in mass quantities and then imported from China. The first thing to note here is that as far as I know, there is no patent for an LED light specific to plant growth held by a Chinese manufacturer. These lights are simply red and blue LEDs falsely marketed as grow lights for plants. The second thing to note is by producing this lighting in mass quantities the market is flooded with products which are quickly outdated by quickly advancing LED technology. SolarOasis (who hold's the world's first of many patents on an LED light specific to plant growth) has taken a different approach. SO operates as a JIT (Just in Time) manufacturer which allows them to respond to new discoveries in plant growing and quickly implement the changes into our products. In its most basic explanation, JIT is every component in the manufacturing system arriving just in time for it to be used. Just-in-time manufacturing is known to improve both quality and efficiency of manufactured goods and eliminating waste in production methods. SolarOasis combines the highest quality components with current proven methods to deliver the best product possible both today and tomorrow. This method ensures that our clients receive the latest in LED technology. Such is the case with the latest version of the LGM5 led light bars. Due to further advancements in the SolarOasis chip- the latest version has 40% more output with no increase in cost or electrical draw. A monumental achievement for a company that continues to lead the way in LED lighting innovation and advancements. The latest version is now available, and shipping worldwide.--AL Homemade Hydroponics
solutions instead of soil. Benefits, when compared to traditional farming, include: increased growth rates, less water use, less space, and increased nutrient content of produce. This efficient method of production is not a new concept in gardening. Hydroponics systems were used in the hanging gardens of Babylon and the floating gardens of the Aztecs. It is the recent drive for producers to utilize sustainable methods that is driving a resurgence of hydroponic gardening. In the world of LED grow lights, this is also the system that has proven most effective for growing with LEDs. The hobby gardener can put together a simple homemade hydroponics unit such as the Coke bottle/PVC system above with very little investment. The basic recipe for hydroponics includes pots, channels, reservoir, feeder lines, drain lines, pump, airstone, nutrients, and lighting. For best results you will want to monitor the temperature and PH/EC of the water in your system. The channels should sit with a slight pitch to allow water to run from one end to the other. The goal is to have about 1 liter per minute flowing through the channel (no more than 2 liters.) To avoid frequent pump replacements- look for a pump that has 20% more power than you need. Measure the height the water needs to be lifted from the reservoir to the channels and the gallons per hour that will need to be pumped and you can determine which size is right for your system. Once your homemade hydroponics system is complete... Don't forget to share your design with others. For every traditional gardener you can switch over to hydroponics- there is a bit more land, water, and food to go around.--AL |
