Ask-a-Grower Podcast #19-Light Rail-Gualala Robotics

No Comments »

Welcome back to Ask-A-Grower, folks. We are here with Gualala Robotics and we’re here talking to James Hamilton, the owner and inventor. James can you tell us something about the history of Gualala?
Gualala Robotics was started in 1986, actually started by my uncle with what was then called the Light Rail One. Our first store was Berkeley Indoor, 844 University Avenue in Berkeley. He was sort of disillusioned with the hydroponic industry and I was looking for something to do, so he sold it to me. Then I came up with what was then called Light Rail Two. We started with a few accounts; went to 12 accounts and so forth.

Ask-a-Grower #171-How do I identify different pests?

No Comments »

Can you please describe your pests in more detail. How big are they? Where do they look like they are coming from? (Foliage or root zone) What color are they? Do you see any other bugs that could be their larvae? For you see any damage on the plants? The wings are longer than the black body. And so small I need a magnifying glass. I got a few hundred on the yellow & blue stickies in 20×15 room. They fly and bump into my hoods. I seem to catch a bunch and used azatrol in a hand sprayer all over. Any potential damage or signs to look for? [Read answer here]

Ask-a-Grower #169-Can I buy House and Garden part A or B seperately?

I came in wanting to buy a CoCo A&B 20L and accidentally walked out with a Bio 1 Component Soil and a CoCo B. My cousin already opened it (Bio) up and will sell it on craigslist. Is it possible to buy just the CoCo A 20L from you guys online or on the phone and have him pick it up in the store. I’m currently out of town. Otherwise I can wire him the money and do it that way. You can only buy both sets online. [Read answer here]
