Product Spotlight: New BushDoctor Series By FoxFarm

Our friends at FoxFarm are releasing three new products that you will soon be able to purchase at Harry's. First, is the long awaited SledgeHammer Nutrient Rinse, designed to remove excess fertilizer build up. Some of you will remember this product was on FoxFarm's original feeding schedules going back 7 years ago!  Thankfully, FoxFarm is finally bringing this product to the market and it is sure to be great for hydro.
The second release is Microbe Brew, a plant food activator to help plants achieve optimum microbial habitats at the root zone.  Huh?  Simply put, it keeps your root system clean and healthy thus making a stronger plant.  Finally, FoxFarm will also release Kangaroots. A liquid root growth inoculant designed to encourage root mass development.  All of these products by FoxFarm are sure to be a hit and help you achieve great grow results.  Harry's will have both quart and gallon sizes in stock by the end of October!

Harry's New Grow Room!

Now we're talking serious hydro!  The grow room we built in Warren is finally finished!  It's been a long process but we wanted to make sure that everything was just right.  Thank you to all of you that participated in helping us with the design and what you would like to see displayed in the room.

We plan on running a few different hydro setups in order to demonstrate different options for designing your own grow room and to showcase various growing methods.  Also, we will display different lighting systems side by side, like HID vs T5 vs LED, to show how each can be used for specific growing conditions.  One highlight we'll bring into the room is a rare hot pepper plant from Asia that one of our employees, Adam, traded seeds with a customer to obtain.  Can't wait to make salsa from that one!  We're just getting started, so stop in and check out the room as it is set up.  And if you have a suggestion of something that you would like to see in the grow room, please let us know!
