| CO2 Release Systems
If your grow room gets hot, or the air
is stagnant, or you're concerned about a lack of CO2, then
air exchange can resolve the above. By simple extraction you
not only keep to the temperatures that the plants love to
thrive in, but you achieve better air circulation of stale
air exhausted of usable CO2. Depending on grow rooms some
people extract hot stale air out as well as drawing fresh
air in. For complete air exchange however, a sealed grow room
using a single extractor can cause a positive pressure, pulling
air in from an available inlet. It really is a case of suck
it and see. We do offer a complete upgrade service, so if
you find you bought a fan from us that is too small for your
needs, we will part exchange at full price against the price
of a bigger one. This applies to all new equipment. The filters
we offer clean the exhausted air of any unwanted odours that
your plants might be producing, and they also act as great
silencers.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential
for plant growth. In an enclosed growing area, as plants use
up available CO2, their growth will slow down and may eventually
stop. Replenishing CO2 will not only maintain growth but dramatically
increase it. The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is
about 350 PPM [parts per million]. Through years of agreed
upon practice, the optimum level is in the 1000-1500 PPM range.
At these levels it is not uncommon to realise a 25-40% increase
in yield. In the absence of CO2-enrichment equipment, the
common way of replenishing CO2 content in an enclosed growing
area is by an extractor fan. This draws in fresh air and with
it ambient levels of CO2. |
