I’d like to try growing a giant pumpkin next year, using General Organics humus and fertilizers. I think it would be easy to challenge some past pumpkin champions with a prize-winning GO pumpkin! Has anyone tried growing pumpkins hydroponically? It’s easy enough to do. You just need to have enough space for the long, trailing vines and the large, heavy fruit. Three years ago, Jesse grew this 485lb guy here at GH and entered into the Half Moon Bay Giant Pumpkin contest. It was grown with Flora Nova, Alice’s Garden, Floralicious Plus and SubCulture B. Check out the size of that baby!

 Some people are growing them vertically, with the pumpkins hanging in mid-air, as they grow. Check out these awesome photos!

If growing pumpkins isn’t your thing, you can still carve them every year! With the proper tools and motivation, you can get really creative with your designs. Many people use stencils to make it easier but you can free-hand some interesting shapes and faces as well. If you want something to aspire to, check out these amazing sculpted pumpkins! The artist, Ray Villafane, has truly perfected the art of pumpkin carving.

I hope that served as some inspiration for your Halloween weekend! Enjoy, dress up and be safe out there everyone! Happy Halloween from General Hydroponics!

We’ve been talking lately about our new root-enhancing product, RapidStart®. RapidStart® delivers a powerful blend of natural plant extracts, amino acids, and nutrients to generate prolific root growth. It stimulates abundant root branching and development of fine root hairs that enhance nutrient uptake. We’ve seen what it can do for bell peppers and lettuce. Now, you can learn more about RapidStart® and watch a time-lapse video that really shows the difference it can make.

Behold our latest video! Jesse explains how the product works and shows you the spectacular footage that proves its effectiveness. Enjoy!

Today, Jesse walks us through how to properly mix our classic three-part Flora Series™ advanced nutrient system™. It’s the backbone of all hydroponic growing and serves as the starting place for just about any project. Flora Series™ is the most widely used hydroponic fertilizer for several reasons! It offers complete nutrition to all types of plants and enhances growth, flavor and yield! It’s pure and perfectly balanced, when used correctly. The series contains three parts: FloraBloom®, FloraMicro® and FloraGro®. Watch and learn as Jesse takes you through the process of mixing all three properly.

If you are just beginning to learn about hydroponics, this video will be very useful. If you are old hat at this, it couldn’t hurt to brush up on your skills and get a reminder of what it’s like to do it by the book. You never know; you might find a mixing tip that will increase your success rate! Watch and enjoy!
