Kia Ora

We’re New Zealand’s first hydroponics light rental. We’re based in Christchurch and offer a wide range of resources to ensure a successful first grow. We’re aiming on making setting up as easy as possible. If you’re a seasonal grower or a newbie. We have your back.

Our Focus

We understand that investing in quality lighting is a big investment so we’re trying to bridge that gap. We’re introducing a 90 day rental of a quality, power efficient lighting for $90.

Why DIY?

Big yields

Growing your own cannabis is an incredibly rewarding and therapeutic experience. The Current proposed law allows for up to 2 plants per person. The kiwi canna grow system can provide up to an ounce a month in a small, 1m² grow space.

Quality Control

As a grower, you have complete control over the quality of the cannabis you produce, as a result, you have the potential to;

  • grow high THC strains (above 15% thc)
  • grow organic and pesticide free
  • grow high CBD strains with proven medical benifits

Big Returns

With such low costs to get setup, we garantee you’ll get your moneys worth with our hassle free rentals.

NZ’s First LED Rental

  • 【Veg/Bloom switch】: through a wide plant growth testing, the Veg/Bloom switch, was designed to provide proper light for plants in different growth stages to greatly increase your harvest. Veg switch is the blue LED and white LED only used for seed or seedling growth; Bloom switch is the red LED and white LED. For flowering, both Veg and Bloom switches can be used.
  • 【Full spectrum】: KingLED LED grow light provides full spectrum lighting from 380 nm to 780 nm (including UV + IR) of natural light for plants needed of all growing stages from vegetables to flowers.
  • 【Energy-saving technology】: Different from the traditional HPS ,consumes only 243w of electricity, Our LED plant grow lamp adopts a high-tech LED chip(double-chip 10W LED),Our 1200w LED lamp can replace the traditional 800w HPS to provide brighter light and save more electricity which also can save a lot of money for you.
  • 【Advanced cooling system】: Multiple high-speed mute fans and upgraded aluminum radiators enable the light bulb to work at 50°F to 60°F that is lower than other lamps. In a lower temperatures, your plant won’t be burned which could increase your lighting time and promote plant growth.

 

We highly recommend reading up on the fluece science horticultural guide if possible. They have a well researched guide on various optimum conditions for cannabis cultivation. They recommend a PPFD of 950 which makes our LED’s perfect for a large canopy.

LED technology uses 30% less energy then an HPS bulb whilst still maintaining good light quality. Also, unlike HPS, LED lighting maintains it’s efficiency over time. An HPS bulb will need to be replaced annually if it is to be used for growing. As a result, an LED light can actually cost the same to run over a 5 year period as an HPS setup irregardless of how many lights you wish to run or how many plants you wish to grow.

 

To run the Kokihi on a 12 – 12 light cycle for a year your annual energy costs are expected to be around $110. (assuming night rate of 16c per kwh)

This is a controversial topic. Many growers still use HPS for their grows and they too are capable of big yields. However, a recent study has helped shed some light on this discussion. Lets breakdown some of the recent research;

–  Full spectrum LED lighting has shown to yield higher cannabinoid concentrations (up to 30%!)
–  Plants grown under LED tend to be short, denser and bushier. Perfect for a tent setup
–  Shorter wavelengths increase flavonoids. (plant color)
–  Improved light diffusion ensures that most of the canopy produces quality flowers.

A large portion of our research is founded on the following paper.
The Effect of Light Spectrum on the Morphology and Cannabinoid Content of Cannabis sativa L.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to provide reliable specifications for a product that’s yet to be built. We’ll be updating this segment as we go.

At the moment we’re  offering free shipping to New Zealand customers.

For rentals with periods of 30 days or more, free return shipping is included.
