How long should I leave my air pump on?
Chow_13answered grow question 4y 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.

Сколько ватт на 1 кв.м LEDCan you tell me how many watts of LED light are needed for 1 square meter? What's the minimum, what's the norm, and how much would be bright enough to really see? The lights are 500w for 100x100cm LED. TENT 300x300, and how much exhaust ventilation is needed in cubic meters? I'm planning on using TD Silent.Setup. Lighting

So has anybody used these cordless mini dehumidifiers in their grow rooms? They’re small units that u charge over night every so often when the silica changes colour? My grow room is very small so an electric dehumidifier wouldn’t fit and I’m struggling to keep humidity downSetup. Ventilation
