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.

Ventilators OFF/ONHi, guys.
I have one more question today:
- My box has three ventilators. One is working in the upper air channel all the time to bring out hot air. Other two staring on my plants.
Should I use all three of them?
Or one is enough till my babies will grow thick to pervent mould?Week 1

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

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....

Smell problemI have a small tent from airontek, not the best in quality with a carbon filter and extractor inside the box, but the smell outside is too strong. When using carbon filter do i have to expect to have (almost) no smell or maybe Im doing some mistakes? The smell is very strongSetup. Ventilation

Humidity won't go down because of clay pebbles ?Though my extractor is at high speed, I have a hard time with controlling humidity, I hardly go under 68%, specially during the night. Probably it's the clay pebbles since the pots don't have a lid. I placed the temp/humidity probe near the tallest leaves. what do you think ?

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

couple quick questionsDo I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights?
Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time?

Won't Oscillate AnymoreI was wondering what type of oscillating fans that everyone uses in small grow tents. I have been using the Vivosun fans and since they won't last I'm looking for alternatives. In case it matters I'm growing in a 27x27x63 MarsHydro tent.

Anyone tried a plasma filter instead of a carbon filter?Supposedly superior odor elimination over carbon filters
Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwiNUkjL1Dk
As you can see they resemble carbon filters (they're part carbon filter actually). The only question is...can they run 24 hours a day for 3 weeks?

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.
