No matter what time of year, there is always some kind of amazing flower blooming here at General Hydroponics. And some flowers, like these dahlias seem to be perpetually producing massive flowers. These beauties are growing in CocoTek planters, and are fed the latest bloom formulas.

Sebastopol Hardware is currently selling predatory nemotodes AND fishing licenses.

I’ve been watching the hydrangea bloom behind the office here at GH. I love how the bright green buds open into pale pink blooms. The transformative power of plants blows my mind.

I swear, the hydro roses never seem to stop blooming. I love the dark red and the moon rising in the background of this shot.

This yellow rose with the tinge of pink smells like cinnamon. It’s totally spicy.

The white ones are unique because they open all the way up and show their yellow centers right [...]

Spring is officially here. At General Hydroponics headquarters that means rainbows and wildflowers.

This lovely yellow flower is a type of sorrel, commonly called Sour Grass. I can’t believe I got that shot of the bee in mid flight, with its little tongue sticking out!

Does it seem to you like we run the same tests on the same plants over and over and over again? It’s because we DO run tests all the time, and we repeat them, tweak them and repeat them again. Here is the current batch of cukes!

These lettuce plants are HUGE! They are placed in the systems with zinnias and are part of the biological tests that have been running. Each tray has a different biological agent, and the results of growth and yield are meticulously recorded. We are running the same products with the cucumbers that I’ve shared in the [...]

Remember the new setups we’ve been testing?
I took this shot on August 11:

They have exploded in the last month. Amazing.

This banana flower is so cool. Bananas are tropicals, obivously, and this one is thriving in the hot greenhouse.

Here is the blossom from a sedum in the GH Farm Lab.
