Growroom Ventilation of
The proper ventilation is essential to prevent accumulation of heat and humidity common in indoor cultivation.
But how is it made a good ventilation system?
First, a stripper with the volume of your Growroom, bearing in mind that the scope will allow the extraction of the air in 5 minutes.
You do the math yourself or contact a specialist shop for choice.
Make sure you have all the information necessary to help those responsible to advise the best product for you: room volume, length and diameter of the ventilation tubes, with or without filters, wattage supported by your system.
Remember also that in calculating the space to avoid condensation and consequent damage the extractor will be mounted vertically, parallel to the wall.

'S extraction , as the name suggests, will allow the exhausted air outlet. We therefore need to have a tool to enter fresh air or a fan .
The extractor fan has the same scope and provide proper circulation.
To exploit the full potential of our system must be paid particular attention to the diameter of the pipe , which is perfectly compatible with the extractor fan and no losses. Objects are also not positioned close to the latter, so that the airflow is stopped.
The tubes that carry air in diameter must be selected to suit your equipment, should be as short as possible and use, should they be needed, Y-and never to T.
Exist on the market of soundproofing to reduce noise turbulence.
To move the air inside the Growroom outside the guaranteed flow and an extractor fan you can use an oscillating fan that creates a gentle breeze.
This will guarantee the elimination of known hot spots, points of stagnation of heat and moisture, and a good distribution of carbon dioxide (CO2).
As a general rule, the extractor will be at the top at one end of the room while the fan is on the opposite side, bottom. The fan will blow in the same direction as the incoming air. To ensure the efficiency of your plant will need to measure temperature and humidity at different times (lights on / off) in different parts of the room.
The monitoring is done through the thermometer and hygrometer that will be placed at the point of greater moisture and higher temperature (between the leaves near the lights, for example).
Instruments with the memory of minimum and maximum point provide the best control.
Probes and instruments must not be put in direct contact with heat or wet surfaces.
Maintain the optimal values will be easier with a moderate number of plants.
To automate the ventilation must provide themselves with humidistat and thermostat , also be placed in the most hot / humid Growroom.
During daylight hours they will activate the fan when the temperature reach 27 degrees or the humidity will rise to 70%.
If the weather is constantly hot and humid it may be necessary to leave the fan always inserted with only the adjustment of a timer.
Nevertheless, if the temperature was still high, you can try moving the hours of artificial light at night, not to add the high temperatures of the day with those lamps.
If you can replace the bulbs with models fluorescent , and if the weather is still bearable reduce daylight hours.
As last bodies with a conditioner.
What if it's too cold? Try to activate less often the fans input, especially at night, or taken from another room air rather than directly outside. Also here is the last chance to pre-heat the air.
The ventilation system may be complex to design which is to assemble, and the components may have high prices. The expert advice in such cases is highly recommended.
