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.

Best way to keep a tent in the loft coolCooling the loft... so I've got my tent in the loft, I have a 4" inline extracting from the tent and a 6" inline feeding air into the loft. This works perfectly the majority of the time.. I can keep things at 25°c with ease. But on hot days the tents gets too hot....

AC/humidifierSo I did get a humidifier/AC. Super cheap, $40. It seems to work. I’ve gotten it at 79-82 degrees and 45-50% humidity. I just have to keep filling the water part up every couple hours but I work from home in my room where it’s in my closetWeek 1

Additional environment controlOptions for extra humidity and temperature control. Continuous drain not a problem. My Rh can stay in the 80% range for weeks. Attempting to control a 10x10. Would a small window Ac remove enough humidity (easiest)? Portable AC/Dehumidifier? Stand-alone dehumidifier? Suggestions?Setup. Ventilation

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

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

Can I exhaust my grow tent into the closet it's in?I'm putting a 3x3 grow tent into a larger closet I have (maybe 8' x 4')? So I guess the closet is called the lung room? I will have a carbon filter and inline fan in the grow tent exhausting out. Can I exhaust out into the closet it's in? Or is that a no-no? Pros and Cons?Setup. Ventilation

Grow Tent/Room setup in the basement - dehumidifier or humidifier needed?I’m planning a small grow setup in my basement and have a room that’s holding a steady 17–18 °C (62–64 °F) with about 55–58% relative humidity. My plan is to vent the exhaust from the grow box straight outside through an existing duct. Will I need a de- or humidifier?
Thanks!Setup. Ventilation
