We are in the process of developing custom website software to manage a vast range of simple repeat purchase to high involvement product solutions across water, air, light and energy. Our new software should be ready to implement by mid 2025. Contact us at 412-848-5058or info@waslix.com with any questions.
designed to help cannabis growers advance their indoor and outdoor operations
Soil, Nutrients, Sunlight and Water; these are the first step ingredients to growing strong and healthy plants. Waslix is all about water and how using “clearly clean water” will have a positive impact on your agricultural growing operations.
Here at Waslix, we are not horticulturist and the purpose of this article is not to provide an in-depth advice on the science to growing cannabis or how to become a successful grower. The advice we can offer has to do with water and how using cleaner water will benefit plants by making them heathier and stronger. If you have been involved with the cannabis or CBD industry you will know, more than us, as to the dramatic changes in regulation and changes this industry is experiencing. Innovation, experimentation, cross breeding a so many other factors are being adapted rapidly to give growers, brands, and suppliers their competitive edge.
Water is naturally a vital component to growing cannabis; and, well everything else. From NASA searching for H2O in the cosmos to the ancient Greeks; water has always been connected to life.
Within the realm of water we offer two product categories to help cannabis growers improve their farming operations.
I know this is not a cannabis plant but this image is from a client who uses the Vulcan mineral descaler to manage mineral scaling in their greenhouse.
Water Filtration:
This may be a clear and obvious integration practice for many indoor and outdoor growers. Your municipal or well water supply is made up of more than just H2O. If you research your local CCR report (Consumer Confidence Report) to gauge the cleanliness of your water supply you will notice “acceptable” impurity standards. CCR reports only list a handful of contaminates among hundreds of possible synthetic substances. Using cleaner water will have a direct benefit to the health of your plants.
This is often confused as a water softener. A mineral descaler has the same, and more benefits, as a water softener/ conditioner without the negative side effects. This is because it does not use salt, chemicals, or filters to manage mineral scaling. Water contains dissolved minerals necessary for plant and biologically growth. When water flows through your irrigation system, water pipes, pumps, sprinklers, etc. minerals in the water bond to surfaces. This ultimately presents a range of equipment problems leading to failing parts, shortened equipment lifespans, a buildup of biofilm, and many other issues.
Using Chlorine as an example of a water impurity and how it can possibly impact a plant and other essential ingredients such as soil.
If you research “how does chlorine impact cannabis plants” you will naturally come up with a lot of correct information but sources that fails to explain critical variables and misinformation that has been copied and repeated across thousands of websites.
Such as, articles stating that a small amount of Chlorine is actually good for plants. Other articles and forums will offer expert advice to let water sit in a bucket for 24 hours before using the water and that Chlorine does not impact plants, and a myriad of other copied and repeated knowledge to completely confuse a simple question.
Only after, perhaps hours of research, do you finalize start to realize there is a key variable to understanding the trust of your original search (we know it is incredibly frustrating). There is a difference between the Chlorine used as a water disinfectant (Cl2) and the plant nutrient Chloride (Cl–) where Chlorine is found in the soil as the highly soluble chloride anion.
Many water sources across the United States also contain Chloramine (a water disinfectant made from Chlorine and Ammonia to kill pathogens); this is used because it is more stable than Chlorine and lasts longer.
Further along in your research you will uncover facts that the disinfectant Chlorine molecule impacts soil by killing important microorganisms, which then impacts the plant, etc.
Our point is that there is a rippling effect in using water that contain chemicals and the most prudent variable in considering water as a benefit to a plant’s health is just to use cleaner water.
Leveraging water treatment technology to improve cannabis plant growth
This technology has been available for over 40 years and in the past 20 years significant improvements have been made to where impulse frequency technology can be applied on 40 inch and greater water pipes. This technology is so robust and effective that even power plants, cooling tower operations and other large scale manufacturing companies use this technology to improve operations and reduce costs.
Mineral scale deposits accumulate on plant leaves as mineral spots obstructing UV light from the sun and artificial lighting impacting the process of photosynthesis and therefore the growth of your plants.
Prevent Leaf Burning:
Within the structure of mineral scale spots the crystals acts as a magnifying glass and burns the plant leaves.
Environmentally Friendly:
Water softeners and salt based ion exchangers have a negative effect on the environment in agricultural applications due to residual nitrates that leach into the ground water. The mineral descaler helps to minimizing the need for fertilizers and pesticides. An increasing number of US cities and towns are banning the sale of new water softener products.
Better Nutrient Absorption:
The temporary molecular mineral change (24-48 hours) allows plants to easily absorb minerals due to stable mono-crystal structures promoting stronger and healthier cannabis plant growth.
Reduced Maintenance:
Once install the device continuously alters mineral structures to prevent scaling and is not dependent on water flow. This descaling process prevents the buildup of biofilm (pathogens thrive in mineral scale) and unblocks nozzles and irrigation water supply lines to provide naturally fresher and cleaner water.
Every home and business has hard water flowing through their pipes, appliances and equipment; it’s just a question of how concentrated the ratio is of calcium and magnesium carbonates in your water. Scaling problems goes beyond the unsightly dried mineral deposits on mirrors and faucets; it shortens the lifespan of everything it touches and is an instant breeding ground for the ‘trace amounts’ of bacteria in your water that isn’t killed when leaving municipal water treatment plants.
THIS changes the molecular construction of hard water minerals
Every manufacturer in the Water Filtration Industry believes in their product and the ability for their products to filter your water to produce Spring Quality water. Unlike ever other distributor we chose 1 water filter manufacture to work with for very specific reasons! CuZn is an American manufacture and the filters are made in the United States with their patented technology. We chose to exclusively work with this company because their filters do not require backwashing, can be recycled and the filter mediums are biodegradable, very affordable, filters are bacteriostatic to prevent bacteria from breeding inside the filters unlike other manufacturers.
THIS removes over 600 contaminants from your water supply
It’s horrifying to think there are Billions of microorganisms swimming around, in what we perceive as clean and clear water; that can and do cause illness. The majority of households filter their tap water through a water jug (usually to help remove the chlorine taste) and the water comes out transparent, so my water is fine, pure and clean; right? Municipalities do their best to treat water for 100’s of millions of people every day. Water travels a long way before you consume it. Ultraviolet light treatment is a guaranteed way of destroying pathogenic organisms’ DNA that Chlorine cannot. Ultra Violet (UV) water treatment is affordable device, not a compromise on a luxury item.
THIS disinfects your entire water system from harmful pathogens
Our philosophy is to foster a strong association between how clearly clean water will have a healthy biological influence on our bodies and preventative repairs and maintenance to our homes and businesses.
Soil, Nutrients, Sunlight and Water; these are the first step ingredients to growing strong and healthy plants. Waslix is all about water and how using “clearly clean water” will have a positive impact on your agricultural growing operations.
