If you are facing the hurdles like grow room geting hot, or the air is getting stagnant, or you're concerned about a lack of CO2 during hydroponic gardening, then air exchange can resolve the same. By simple extraction using fans and other means, you are not only able to maintain plant lovable temperatures, but you also achieve better air circulation of stale air exhausted of usable CO2. For complete air exchange, a sealed grow room using a single extractor can cause a positive pressure, pulling air in from an available inlet. It really is a case of suck it and sees. However, depending on grow rooms some people extract hot stale air out as well as drawing fresh air in. The filters we offer clean the exhausted air of any unwanted odors that your plants might be producing and they also act as great silencers. We do offer a complete upgrade service, so if you find you bought a fan from us that is too small for your needs, we will part exchange at full price against the price of a bigger one.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential for plant growth. CO2 combines with water, nutrients and light energy through photosynthesis to produce sugars (food). These sugars provide energy to manufacture plant tissues for new growth. When CO2 levels are inadequate or inconsistent, plant growth diminishes and reduces crop yield. The Growth of plants may slow down and may eventually stop in an enclosed growing area, as plants use up available CO2. Replenishing CO2 will not only maintain growth but dramatically increase it.
The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 350 PPM [parts per million]. Through years of agreed upon practice, the optimum level is in the 1000-1500 PPM range. At these levels it is not uncommon to realize a 25-40% increase in yield. In the absence of CO2-enrichment equipment, the common way of replenishing CO2 content in an enclosed growing area is by an extractor fan. This draws in fresh air and with it ambient levels of CO2. Other most common products for the purpose can be listed as Green Air CDMC-6, CO2 set point controller etc. The CDMC (CO2 Monitor Controller) systems are designed to sample the air and learn the characteristics of your space, then make adjustments as necessary to ensure a constant level of CO2. The CDM works in conjunction with the CDDS-2 controller (sequencer) to effectively enrich indoor gardens and greenhouses with CO2 or reconfigured the system mode to vent excess CO2 if desired.
