The U.S. Marines Growing Hydro in Afghanistan
General Hydroponics is entering new territories. Specifically, to Afghanistan, with the United States Marines. Click on the letter below to read the request we received from the US Marine Corp.
When we were contacted, the immediate response was to appreciate the sacrifice of the Armed Forces. Our second response was to call and work out the details of their exact needs. We shipped them a WaterFarm 8- Pack with a Controller and the Upgrade Kit. And all the FloraSeries and Floralicious Plus they could need. GH has always reached out to communities, sending PowerGrowers for rooftop school gardens, sponsoring festivals, and providing funding for PBS Natural Heroes. We could not be more proud and more hopeful for this project, and hope that hydro in Afghanistan is a complete success.

My fiancee has two cousins in the marines right now in Afghanistan and Japan. The fact that he loves hydro and you are giving back to support the military is great. It really speaks to the heart for American values.

I have friends currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I know that those you’re helping will appreciate this great deal.
This is really awesome of GH!

They might need something to keep the reservoirs water temperature down, not higher than 25°C I’d say.
