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.

Trouble keeping my RH below 65% in grow tent (I water once per 24hrs, 20% runoff)Hello fellow growers!
I am having trouble keeping my RH lower than 65%. Any ideas (without using a dehumidifier)?
For extraction, I have a RAM mixed flow with a passive intake. It seems for the space (0.8mx0.8m), that this is more than enough. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!6y ago

Lights airstone c02What light to plant distance would you set it at? The only test I've done is at 25 inches its stable at 80°f and 75% humidity. When I lower it to 18 inches, the tent read 85°f and 73 humidity.
Other question I have is what's your favorite air stone(disk)?
Lastly, add c02 yes/no

TemperaturHallo mal eine allgemeine Frage zur Temperatur in der Blütephase.
Ich bekomme derzeit nur 24-26 Grad Celsius Tagsüber (mehr 26 als 24) und Nachts Maximal 21Grad.
Ist das für die Damen ausreixhend oder muss ich handeln. Sie zeigen keinerlei krankeitssymptome.

Connecting 2 grow tentsI have a 16"x16" small tent next to a 48"x24"x72" tent. With 1 small plant in the small tent, is there anything wrong with ducting the air from the small tent to the bigger tent where my carbon filter is. Seperate intake and exhaust for each tent. Has anyone tried this before?

Cardboard box method for dehumidifierHi 👋 can anyone tell me what success they’ve had using the cardboard box method for housing their dehumidifier? My unit is heating up inside the tent so much as it works harder during flower to keep humidity levels lower. Before I make the switch I wanted some opinions?Setup. Ventilation
