Latest Hydroponics News

Here is yet another great innovation from 3CH – the Home of Hydroponics Solutions!

This time we present an exclusive-to-3CH solution to your used and dirty carbon filter sleeve –pop in to a 3CH Hydroponics store a purchase a Polar Air Pre-Filter Sleeve.

These filter sleeves fit all sizes of both Polar Air and Rhino carbon air filters stocked here at 3CH.

Filter sleeves should be changed every three to six months to ensure the clogging of the sleeve with dirt, dust and moisture doesn’t adversely affect the performance of your carbon filter. Rather than waste our customers' precious time ordering-in replacement filter sleeves like at other hydroponics shops, we at 3CH feel that we should have stocks of filter sleeves ready to purchase on the day of your visit. So we have acted, and the result is the acquisition of exclusive rights to sell this top quality replacement carbon filter sleeve – the Polar Air Pre-Filter Sleeve.

By purchasing a Polar Air Pre-Filter Sleeve you will be preserving the effective life of your carbon air filter. The pre-filter sleeve will collect dust and moisture and prevent these passing into the main body of the filter where the carbon is at work removing unwanted odours from your extraction system. Every carbon air filter will benefit from the addition of a Polar Air Pre-Filter Sleeve.

And even better than the performance of the Polar Air Pre-Filter Sleeve is the price. Once again, 3CH has dealt directly with the manufacturer to ensure we get the very best deals for our valued customers. Ranging from £4.00 for the smallest 100/200mm filter sleeve to only £9.50 for the 315/600mm filter sleeve, the Polar Air Pre-Filter Sleeve will potentially vastly improve and preserve the performance of your carbon air filter for a very small outlay.

So the message is simple when you next pick up your hydroponics essentials here at 3CH:

 As all keen gardeners are aware, the Chelsea Flower Show is one of the most prestigious events in the horticuluralist's year. This year marked the 100th Anniversary of ths show.

This year has been as spectacular as ever, with amazing displays and jaw-droppng innovations. We here at 3CH Hydroponics were especially excited by Suttons Seeds' 'The Secret Garden of Past and Present' exhibit.

And why were we so excited? Well, the exhibit was put together using hydroponics technology, with many of the plants being grown at Paignton Zoo's state-of-the-art hydroponics garden. Many congratulations to all involved. Don't miss out - get involved with hydroponics gardening today. It really is the future of gardenng!  

Hesi ClonFix is a brand new product stocked here at 3CH, and customer feedback has so far been superb. As we know, growing from cuttings is best way to ensure perfect genetics transfer from one plant generation to the next, as long as you have the right tools for the job and the right rooting hormone to hand. This new rooting hormone product from the resepected Hesi family is taking the country and hydroponics growing world by storm!!! Clonex has been a product leader for many years, but this little bottle of Hesi Cloning Power seems to be giving it a run for its money. Clonex or ClonFix...you decide!

Hesi CLONFIX available in 50ml or 100ml sizes.

Tonight Amy from our Saint Albans Grow Shop gave a talk to the Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire section of the Plant Heritage Society on an “An Introduction to Hydroponics”

They were very brave to venture out under the threat of snow to come listen to her talk and they were very welcoming and we hope they enjoyed themselves.

Plant Heritage is the world’s leading garden plant conservation charity. Formerly known as the National Council for the Conservation of Plants & Gardens (NCCPG), Plant Heritage brings together the talents of botanists, horticulturalists and conservationists and the dedication of keen amateur and professional gardeners.

Their mission is to encourage the conservation of cultivated plants in the British Isles, supporting and publishing research into these plants, their origins, their historical and cultural importance and their environments, and helping to educate the public in the importance of cultivated plant conservation.
 

A massive thank you to the Plant Heritage society for having her and thank you to indoor growers who already shopped with 3CH who turned up! Was a massive boost!

Please contact me below for more information or the NCCPG themselves at http://www.nccpg.com/

If any other schools, gardening organisations and charities would like to have a talk on hydroponics then please contact us at amy@3ch.co.uk or stalbans@3ch.co.uk.
