Guardian Fire Shield: The Latest Tool to Manage the Unexpected

GreenPlanet Wholesale is excited to introduce the latest addition to its product line-up: Guardian Fire Shield (GFS). This self-contained, easily mountable fire-suppression system can provide its users with peace of mind, reliability, and performance in moments of unexpected system failures. From lighting faults to cooling system failures, the garden can be full of potential hazards. To help manage the unexpected, GreenPlanet Wholesale is happy to introduce our clients everywhere to an automatic fire suppression system by Guardian Fire Shield. 

Watch the Guardian Fire Shield in action!

What is Guardian Fire Shield?

Guardian Fire Shield is a self-contained fire suppression system that can be easily installed in any commercial or residential setting. This small, yet powerful fire suppression system is designed to be placed above areas where a potential flame may break, for example, in the kitchen above the stove. While however useful Guardian Fire Shield may be in the home, this product also has amazing potential for the mitigation of fire damage in the garden. 

Due to its small size, the Guardian Fire Shield suppressant can be installed virtually anywhere in the garden, the most common places being above lighting panels, large outtake fans, and atop commercial dehumidifiers or air-conditioners. While relatively small, the suppression capabilities of this unit are aggressive, with the ability to cover a 16 x 16 room with non-toxic, ABC dry chemical in a matter of seconds. And unlike sprinkler systems, which activate at the sign of smoke, the Guardian Fire Shield only expels suppression chemicals when temperatures around the unit reach 135 degrees Fahrenheit. This aspect of fire prevention evidently leads to a decrease in false-alarms and subsequent water damage caused by traditional fire suppression. 

The Need For Fire Suppression

While technology in the garden has paid specific attention to safety in its innovation over the years, safeguards that combat the most hazardous complications are still the most cautious response. In the home, the most common tool to fight a potential blaze is a fire extinguisher. However, in an indoor garden or greenhouse setting, there is rarely a person to monitor the facility around the clock. So, in the case of a fire, the garden would likely be left alone in these moments of vulnerability, with little help being offered from an extinguisher which requires manual operation. This is where the support of Guardian Fire Shield can offer gardeners everywhere the ensured reliability and performance of non-toxic, automatic fire suppression. 

  • 135°F Heat Activated: The heat-activated trigger means the Guardian Fire Shield™ will not discharge in the presence of smoke. It must be extremely hot (ie. a real fire) in order for the unit to automatically discharge.
  • No Water Damage: Unlike water suppression systems, the dry-chem agent in the Guardian Fire Shield™ does not cause extensive damage when discharged.
  • Non-Toxic Environmentally Safe Powder: The non-toxic, dry-chem agent used in the Guardian Fire Shield™ is safe when discharged, as it is essentially a form of baking soda.
  • Approved Components: Manufactured with Certified Components.

To protect what matters most in the garden, and for more questions about Guardian Fire Shield, contact your local garden supply store or GreenPlanet Wholesale for tips on the latest tool to manage the unexpected.

Enhance Cannabis Quantity and Quality with CenturionPro’s Elite Harvesting Solutions

Cannabis sales in Canada have climbed steadily throughout 2020, to reach record highs of over $230 million. The surge has been driven by a rise in retail stores improving product accessibility, combined with edibles, extracts, and topicals enticing untapped audiences. The new product formats were predicted to attract over three million new consumers, which could help Canada’s recreational industry finally realize its true potential.

With an annual market value of $2.7 billion, the new product categories present lucrative opportunities for the nation’s producers. To benefit from an expanded portfolio, growers need to scale harvests to meet unprecedented demand without sacrificing quality. To do this cost-effectively requires producers to analyze operations from top to bottom, identifying which processes can be streamlined and deploying solutions that safeguard standards.

Streamlining Strategically

Automation can enhance the quantity of cannabis produced, but when adopted strategically can also enhance the quality. When streamlining operations growers should look for the early big wins, automating the most labour-intensive and expensive tasks first. For many this is the crucial, but tedious, harvesting process, which can make or break the value of the crop.

De-stemming hundreds of pounds of cannabis can be a momentous and monotonous task, which can take many weeks if done manually. Every time there is contact with flower, there is a risk of trichrome degradation that diminishes the value of the crop. As a result, many rely on bucking machines to carefully remove buds from plants quickly. Leading harvesting solutions ensure that large flowers and top colas are kept intact, with little to no damage to trichome structure.

Buckers instead of hand de-stemming protects large flowers and top colas.

To enhance the appearance, quality and value of cannabis, growers of all sizes are also increasingly investing in automated trimming machines. While hand-trimming flowers is often romanticized, it is rarely practical in a commercial environment. On average, a micro-cultivator will yield 174 lbs of flower in a 2,000 sq. ft. grow room, which would typically take 25 employees seven days to trim. With an experienced trimming crew charging $200 per lb, a single harvest could cost $34,800. This illustrates how inefficient and expensive hand trimming cannabis can be for even the smallest operation. By contrast, a top-of-the-line machine will trim 174l bs in under five hours-for a one-off investment of significantly less.

An example of automated trimming at it’s finest.

Hiring a trimming crew can be problematic as well as expensive. Employees require motivation to provide top-quality product constantly, with the entire cultivation process reliant on their actions and availability. Pinning hopes on individuals for such a pivotal process can leave companies vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances, such as the lockdowns enacted to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Consistency is King

Due to industry pressures, it is essential cultivators can guarantee their harvesting capacity, which can be difficult to do with a manual workforce. Trimming delays can cause costly bottlenecks and downtime, which prevents producers from filling delivery windows. This is especially true in today’s market, with growers often required to achieve perpetual harvests to satisfy demand.

The best trimming machines are as versatile as a human trimmer, but capable of infinitely greater efficiency and uniformity. With the ability to trim wet or dry cannabis to replicate hand-trimmed flower, adjustable machines produce the same cut every time. In contrast, hand-trimmed product can vary person-to-person and batch-to-batch. The consistency provided by trimming machines enables growers to maintain standards as they scale to meet unprecedented demand.

Adopting automated solutions for automation’s sake, without first identifying how they improve operations, will result in expenses that fail to enhance your grow. However, strategically identifying where costs can be saved and implementing specialist solutions improves both quantity and quality. This enables growers to attract new cannabis audiences now, with the capacity and consistency to satisfy and retain these customers in the future.

So which trimming system is the one for you?

The Growth Enhancing Properties of Fish Sh!t

In ancient Egypt, the flooding of the Nile River was of such importance that the year was divided into three seasons: Akhet (Inundation), Peret (Growth), and Shemu (Harvest). The Egyptians believed the Nile overflowed with tears their Goddess, Isis, would shed for her slain husband, King Osiris. Little did they know that the yearly flood coincided with the monsoon season in early spring. In this period, capillary springs and rivers would fill with water and overflow into the great Nile, subsequently irrigating the surrounding plains of Egypt.  

History and mythology aside, the annual flooding of the Nile is arguably responsible for sustaining one of the world’s greatest and most powerful ancient civilizations. At its height of influence, ancient Egypt could feed up to two million people a season, as the water which flooded the fields of farmers carried with it a rich and valuable resource – fertilizer. The aquatic diversity of the Nile River is rivalled only by a few other freshwater sources in the world; in this exotic ecosystem, fish produce waste which can benefit plants in amazing ways. In the case of ancient Egypt, access to this natural ecological resource did more than subside hunger, it even helped build an empire. Of all the products available in the industry of gardening today, there is only one bottled supplement which attempts to emulate the growth-enhancing properties of the Nile River – you guessed it, Fish Sh!t. 

What Fish Sh!t Can Do For Your Garden: 

Lucky for us, the same technology utilized by the ancient Egyptians exists today in a bottle. Cultivated at Fish Head Farms by providing selected tilapia with a nutrient-rich blend of food, Fish Sh!t is a root enhancing product which provides your chosen medium with a specially formulated microbial profile. By including Fish Sh!t as a supplement in your general feeding program, you can expect the following benefits: 

Increase in Yield 

Fish Head Farms states that using Fish Sh!t can result in an expected twenty percent increase in yield. There’s a lot of truth in the old saying, “the bigger the roots, the bigger the fruit”; with a larger root system due to the inclusion of Fish Sh!t, gardeners can be sure to expect larger flowers at harvest time.

People who use Fish Sh!t can expect up to a 20% increase in yield.

Tom Fox,Co-Founder of Fish Head Farms

Increase in Flavour and Aroma

The addition of an organic supplement, especially one as rich in natural material as Fish Sh!t can be instrumental in procuring a high-quality end product. Based on control tests conducted by Fish Head Farms, researchers found that plants enhanced with Fish Sh!t exhibited higher percentages of overall cannabinoids and a larger split between the most aromatic and flavourful terpenes. 

Increase in Nutrient Uptake 

The beneficial properties of Fish Sh!t can help to break down heavy salts, micro and macronutrients, faster and with greater efficacy in the root zone, therefore leading to an increase in cumulative nutrient uptake. Fish Sh!t can even be utilized during a plant’s flushing period to increase the uptake of heavy macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium before harvest. 

I was able to see immediate results in my own plants after just a week. I ran a full vegetative and flowering cycle, applying Fish Sh!t to only a few of the plants to get a fair comparison. FishSh!t exceeded my expectations, Jason explains. I ran the same strains, from the same three mother plants for a year, through multiple cycles. I can honestly say that there was a noticeable improvement between my earlier harvests and with every harvest, since I started using Fish Sh!t, the flavor and yield have definitely improved.”

My numbers show an 8-10% higher yield on average, with dense buds that have heavy trichome coverage and stronger terpenes.

Jason Gideon

Highly Satisfied Customer

OMRI Listed for Organic Use

Fish Sh!t is OMRI listed for organic use and University tested. It provides a complex Microbial profile that includes thousands of different species of bacteria, fungi and protozoa. This profile is closer to a natural ecosystem than anything you will find on the market. It is a piece of nature in a bottle. Fish Sh!t makes fruits, herbs and vegetables healthier, taste and smell better and it improves plant health, growth and production. Fish sh!t will make your plants smile and your garden thrive.

Whatever your motivations for using Fish Sh!t may be, the well-rounded, plant enhancing properties of this supplement are evident. To access the rich and diverse compounds of Fish Sh!t, contact a member of the GreenPlanet sales team, or your local garden supply store for samples, product information and purchase inquiries.

Stress-Free Growing With Automatic AutoPot Watering System

Welcome to AutoPot Watering Systems

Have you ever entered your garden later than expected, only to find the partially withered remains of your crop? When life gets stressful, gardening duties such as watering your plants seem to pile up with the rest of the day’s time-consuming tasks. And so, for all of us who value the relaxing aspects of gardening – GreenPlanet Wholesale welcomes you to the stress-free growing systems of AutoPot. 

While increasing yields, AutoPot systems have been proven to reduce the consumption of water and feed by an impressive 50%. With increasing concerns about water conservation and the environment becoming prominent in our lives, AutoPot is sure that more and more people will realize the advantages of using these self-watering systems. This concept in irrigation is one that the horticultural and hydroponic world has been waiting for.

Three Benefits to Expect When Using an AutoPot System

AutoPot combines the best of both hydroponic and traditional gardening techniques into a simple, easy to install, self-watering system. Many advantages, not to mention a reduced work-load, come with the move to an AutoPot irrigation system. As opposed to a more orthodox method of gardening, there are amazing benefits you can expect from switching to a small or large AutoPot system, including standardized self-watering technology, enhanced control and increased savings on water, liquid nutrients and electricity. 

1. Self-Watering

This benefit goes without saying; but, to better understand the processes involved in passive irrigation, you need only look at a single feature of the AutoPot system: the AquaValve. This small, unassuming feature is solely responsible for the self-watering technology behind any scalable AutoPot system. Its parts are simple, but as we all know from experience, sometimes the easiest solution is the most efficient. In short, the AutoPot AquaValve works like a miniature float-valve, letting in just enough water and nutrient solution to allow your plants the opportunity to quench their thirst. 

2. Enhanced Control

No matter how much experience you currently have, it’s likely that not all your plants will advance and grow at the same rate. However, with the use of the AutoPot irrigation system, this worry can easily be remedied with the controllability the system naturally offers. Because a crop in the AutoPot system is being fed passively, and not by an electric pump, this gives plants lagging behind the opportunity to feed themselves, and gives the gardener a second chance at breathing life into a struggling crop without the chance of over or under-watering. 

3. Water, Nutrient and Electrical Savings

Unlike growing in containers, where gardeners can expect as much as twenty percent runoff per feeding, there is absolutely no waste in the AutoPot system. This can allow for the savings of water and liquid nutrients throughout the growing and flowering stages of your plant’s life cycle. Even more important, AutoPot systems rely on only one natural phenomenon to function – gravity.  Being that no electrical pumps are involved in the processes of irrigation, the AutoPot system can make sure your plants are fed for weeks, even in the event of a power outage. Furthermore, growers with AutoPot’s have the opportunity to save on the electrical consumption of their garden by switching their current hydroponic set-up to the life-saving, stress-relieving, environmentally conscious AutoPot irrigation system. 

Purchase a Complete Watering System for Your Grow

AutoPot Watering System

The 1Pot System is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of plant types and sizes. Seasonal flowering plants and perennial shrubs thrive and produce an abundance of blooms and foliage because of the unique action of the AquaValve, which is designed to allow the plant to go through a wet & dry cycle.

Easy2Grow Watering System

A wide range of growing substrates can be used with the easy2grow system, either traditionally with soil, or hydroponically in rockwool, coco or hydrostone. Low maintenance, reliable and automated, the easy2grow system allows gardeners to relax, go away on holiday, and still be sure of healthy plants and bumper harvests.

Already Have a System? Check Out These Accessories

AutoPot AquaValve

The AquaValve is supplied with all AutoPot Watering Systems. Once connected to the water supply, the AquaValve will control the flow of water to the plants, by simple gravity pressure from a tank or water butt; no pumps, mains water pressure, electricity, or timers are required.

AutoPot FlexiTank

The AutoPot FlexiTank revolutionizes water storage and is everything you need to supply your plants with water and liquid nutrients in one compact box. It requires no tools for assembly, reduces storage, shipping costs and takes minutes to assemble. It really couldn’t be simpler.

AutoPot AirDome Kits

The AirDome is the perfect accessory for gardeners of all abilities. It has been designed to increase the amount of air around the root zone in plant pots. This little addition can increase yields by up to 130%. It is very simple to use once assembled, which will take less than 30 seconds. The AirDome is placed at the bottom of the pot, covered with media, and then connected to an air pump.

Take the stress out of gardening and experience the ease and technological innovation of AutoPot.  For product information and purchasing inquiries, contact a member of the GreenPlanet sales team or your local garden supply store.
