Above shown is the Galaxy Electronic Grow Light Ballast.
The Galaxy Electronic Ballast 600 Watt is great performer - high quality and inexpensive. They are a compact and cool running ballast that is nearly silent. Electronic ballasts are known for easier on the lamp thus extending its life. These ballast come pre-wired with Sun Light Supplys lamp cord receptacle so it will directly plug into the hood of you choice with out wiring.

Above shown is the CO2 control w Auxiliary Shut Off Output.
It is an essential control tool to efficiently and economically use CO2 enrichment for higher growth rates or to fulfill minimum ventilation needs day and night. The air sampling is optimized by means of an integrated fan.
Energy consumption: The unit is 120 volts and uses 12 watts of power.

Electricity kills and injures people. Below shows the electrical injuries a person may have:
1) Electric shocks
Electric shocks can cause the person's heart to stop beating properly, preventing the person from breathing and can cause muscle spasms.
2) Electric burns
Electric burns occur when the current when flowing through the tissue will heat up the tissue which result in deep burns. Such burns often require surgeries and are permanently disabled.
3) Loss of muscle control
Loss of muscle control occurs when the person gets an electric shock. The muscle spasms can be so painful that it is able to break bones and dislocate joints. People cannot walk properly if they cannot control their muscles.
4) Thermal burns
Thermal burns occur when they get too near hot surfaces or near electrical explosions. Overloading of power points, faulty or poorly maintained appliances are the ones that can get very hot.

This picture is an example of hydroponic farming. This type of farming saves space for other uses. It is simple to use and there is a higher chance for these plants to be high quality produced and soil diseases could be prevented. Therefore, hydroponic is definitely one of the good way for growing crops.

Covering the basics, we must know what is Hydroponic.
So what exactly is Hydroponic?
Hydroponic is a method in which we use nutrient solution to grow plants instead of using soil. With this Hydroponic method, there would be higher yields and the crops will be of higher quality and more crops could be grown in the same period of time by Hydroponic method than by using soil. The growth of crops would also be faster.
