"THE I BEAM"

Induction Grow Light
The first and only induction grow light engineered from the ground up with the gardener in mind.
    FEATURES:
  • Utilizes a proprietary plastic housing on an aluminum backbone.
  • Runs at a cool 215° compared to HID systems (app. 720°).
  • 94% reflective interior.
  • PAR readings of 2000 at the bulb and 765 at a distance of 12"
  • Bulbs are easily replaceable without requiring any tools.
  • Incorporates hot restrike technology.
  • Lightweight and "tentable" at a mere 15 pounds.
  • Water resistant ballast box.
  • Made in the USA using renewable energy from green resources.
Benefits of the ibeam™ibeam™ induction grow lights provide the best single-source horticultural lighting for maximum growth and yields. The color frequency for the entire growth cycle is covered so there is no need to change out light sources for vegetative or flowering. Induction lights also provide maximum canopy penetration. Compared to other types of grow lights, ibeam™ induction grow lights are also very long lasting (up to 60,000 hours) with minimum lumen depreciation. The ibeam™ is very easy to set up and does not require any maintenance.

Cool RunningThe ibeam™ has an exceptionally cool operating temperature with a maximum fixture temperature of 500F less than a comparable 600 watt HPS lamp. There is no need to purchase and pay to operate expensive light cooling systems

Energy EfficientLower wattage requirements for PAR usable light saves between 60-70% of the energy consumed by lamp technologies such as HID. There is also a low startup inrush amperage of 2.2 amps or less compared to nearly 7 amps for most 600 watt HPS systems. Low initial amperage demand means more lights can be run off existing wiring without the need for expensive electrical upgrades

How Induction Lighting WorksInduction lights rely on the fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction and gas discharge to create light. When energy is applied to the ferrite cores(inductors) located at each end of the glass tube, a very strong magnetic field is produced which travels through the glass and accelerates free electrons. The electrons then collide with mercury atoms and are excited. As the excited electrons fall back from their higher energy state to a lower stable level, they emit ultraviolet radiation. The UV radiation created is then converted to visible light as it passes through a phosphor coating on the inside of the tube. Since there are no filaments or electrodes to burn out, induction lights have an extremely long lifespan.

Nutriculture spent two years developing the Amazon ensuring that it produced aeroponic standard results at the right price. Aeroponics gets great results because roots are suspended in the air and are constantly sprayed with water and nutrient. The plant roots have unrestricted access to oxygen, water and nutrients – the three things they need for explosive growth.
This is a growing system for serious growers and gets massive results. In our tests we grew four chilli pepper plants in an Amazon 16 Pot and got seven feet of growth and fruit production in just five weeks using nothing but standard NL evolution feed.

Why use the Amazon?

- Heavy Yields.
- Fast Growth of Plants.
- Large volume root chamber.
- No Blind Spots - Powerful droplet distribution hits the entire root zone.
- Easy access to root chamber for inspection.
- Choice of lids available for a choice of growing arrangements

Ultra Grow T5 Lighting


Ultragrow T-5 fluorescent fixtures use high efficiency, digital electronic ballast to power the NEW high output T5 fluorescent lamps. The Ultragrow features a low profile and a very low heat signature allowing it to be placed close over the tops of plants. Placing the Ultragrow high output fluorescent fixture close to the tops of plants provides a very intense, bright light over the area. the large area of light dispersal coupled with the intense light is what makes T5 high output fluorescents very comparable to the light output of a high intensity discharge (H.I.D.) system like metal halide (MH) or high pressure sodium (H.P.S.) The Ultragrow T5 fixtures can be used as a vegetative growth or full term grow light.

Election Day YOU will determine our future.


The importance of voting in America cannot be overstated. The United States is a constitutional republic. Americans democratically elect their leaders, who in turn represent them in the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government. Some of our leaders also have the power to appoint other leaders to certain offices. Our leaders make, enforce and judge laws that impact our health, religion, money and freedoms. Many of these issues are also voted on directly during elections. It is therefore important to vote to have your say about what happens to you.
Every vote has significance. Several elections have been decided by a single vote. In other elections, the vote was tied and the winner decided by a coin flip. In a close presidential election, the winner is actually decided by a small number of voters in swing states. The 2000 presidential election came down to a handful of ballots in Florida.
