How long should I leave my air pump on?
Chow_13answered grow question 5y ago
Depends on your setup. What are you running? With my rdwc system I keep the air pump on 24h. The more oxygen in the water the less chance for root rot.

Hello. Its good to saturate your water with oxygen once a day first thing in the morning. I would leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes. Chuck.

RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?I'm having a issue with my grow - RH won't go above 20%.
With a humidifier inside, full power. Temperatures are between 21 and 25c and I can only think the air extractor is taking too much air out of the grow, as in the night, with lights and fan off RH rise to +80%. Any ideas?Week 3

I'm still worried because the temperatures still haven't dropped this afternoon, it rose to 33 degrees and I tried, as you see in the videos, putting two fans or one big one and nothing.
Do you recommend turning on the light at night in the morning and how would it be to change t

Carbon FilterHello growers!
I'm thinking of removing carbon filter's outter fabric.
It affects my exhaust dramatically.
Does anyone knows if this is going to make it insufficient or ruin it?
(i think that this layer prevents humidity entering carbon particles)

Grow tent TemperatureI have a 90cmx90cmx60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED Grow Light inside.. How much will an extraction fan and carbon filter bring down the temp inside? In this heatwave my tent is running at 33 deg C, no plants seeded yet. Will the fan be enough or should I get a cooler?Setup. Ventilation

2x2 Circulating FanWhat is the best circulating fan for a 2x2 tent available on the european market?
I bought a Secret Jardin MO20 oscillating fan, and I highly regret it because I have read several reviews mentioning that it can catch fire. Is there any other good alternative for circulating air?

6" c' filter adapted to 4" Cloudline fan?Has anyone mated a 6" carbon filter to a 4" inline fan? AC Infinity is OUT of 4" filters, so considering getting a 6" and adapting down to 4" intake on AC Infinity Cloudline.
Seems intuitive, since reduced intake restriction would be preferable, with increased life as a benefit.Week 2

Carbon filter sleeve needed?I use the carbon filter on the exhaust side. On the intake side, I have a dust screen mesh.
The tent is quite clean so that’s why I don’t see the need of the pre filter. Would also probably load the inline fan a bit too.
What’s you thought?

Temp tent issueNice! Thanks guys for the quick help! I’m also kinda sort of having a temp issue, I’m trying to make it the best I can, I’m way down south and the temp reads 86-88 a lot. If I blast the fans and humidifier it does get down but I’m worried about the electric bill going up.Week 1
