If gardening is not just a simple task for you, but above this, it is a real passion, you know that a plant requires a lot of love and a lot of care in order to grow healthily and beautifully. You need to give it nutrients that are carefully chosen, warmth and a lot of light so that it can grow to give the best results possible. As long as you adjust everything for its special needs and you use some extra tricks, like placing Mylar Film for doubling the amount of light it receives, the output will exceed any expectation and you will get the highest-quality produce. The Hydro Source offers many different tool and solutions, like the Bonsai Hero or safety equipment meant to make your passion even more enjoyable.

Light is essential for the healthy growth of a plant. It is one of the four elements required in the process of photosynthesis, together with mineral nutrients, water and carbon dioxide. In greenhouses, light is not always available naturally. Therefore, alternative sources must be installed. High-intensity Discharge (HID) lights are specially designed for indoor gardens, so much the more when the plants that you want to cultivate require a tropical intensity sunlight.

There are two kinds of lights that can be used in a greenhouse. The Metal Halides (MH) provide light that is beneficial for green, leafy plants, as well as young plants, because the light from this kind of lamps originates from the blue spectrum. On the opposite, High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps provide light from the opposite spectrum, which is recommended for plants that have flowers or even fruits. There are, as well, more complex lamps that use both kinds of light spectrums, which make them better for the entire lifespan of the plant.

Mylar Film is one trick that can be used to enhance the lighting system in a greenhouse. By placing the reflective metalized film underneath the plant or anywhere facing the source of light, you direct it to the plant and it receives double the amount it usually gets from the electrical lighting system. This is not only beneficial for the plant, as it can use more light energy to transform it into chemical energy, but it is also a great way for you to save money on electricity bills.

The Hydro Source is a company that provides many lighting solutions for greenhouses, as well as other gardening tools and hydroponic systems at very competitive prices. The Bonsai Hero for example is an efficient scissor set used for cutting the unnecessary leaves of your harvest. While this can be done manually as well, the Bonsai Hero works three times faster and it is especially helpful when you have a large amount of plants that need to be trimmed. Safety equipment is also important, especially when it comes to such dangerous tasks. Gloves, goggles and flame defenders are some of the equipment provided by The Hydro Source.
