Home Grown Hydro....The Importance Of Air Quality & Temp.
Before you get to deep into your growing operation,let me put something in ya ear i learned the hard way.The Importance of Air Quality & Room Temp in your grow area.
It dosen't matter if your using a basic 5 gal set up,or a unit that cost 2 grand,if you get this process wrong you won't have a happy harvest.Which is why i'm writing this,because one of the questions our readers hit us with is; "what type of lighting should i use"?
Thats a great question,and something that's very important to know.But...there's a factor ya have to consider when selecting grow lighting for your plants. How will that heat effect the air quality in your grow area?
Just as heat & humitity effects the air we breath, so does TO MUCH,or not ENOUGH, lighting and moisture levels effects plant growth.Now i've heard some of the homemade solutions to this problem,but i'm here to tell ya theres a system that will handle it.
You see, every single one of the lights in your grow room are like "miniature suns" producing enormous amounts of heat.
And because of this, until now, you had to suffer the consequences:
*Elaborate and expensive cooling setups...
*Dozens of fans strategically placed and draining energy...
*Constant air-conditioning to cool everything...
*dealing with power overloads...
*Outrageous electricity bills,
We've been hearing these same complaints from growers for years. But until recently, the grow room development team at Advanced Nutrients® didn't feel they had found the right solution for cooling the enormous amounts of heat a grow room generates.
After a lot of mind-numbing research, development and testing they now have the answer and it's called;" THE ICE FLOW™ SYSTEM".
It's a safe, super-efficient, and effective way to cool all the air leaving your reflectors... without... adding more A/C, more fans, or increasing your electric bill.
It utilizes a water to air heat exchanger to water cool the hot air produced by your reflectors,because water-cooling is much more effective and efficient than air-cooling.how much more effective is it? Good question. A leading hydroponics scientist, Dr. Savov, explains:
*Water has a thermal conductivity of 0.6W/(m*K) which is much higher than the thermal conductivity of air which is only 0.03W/(m*K).
*Water also has a much higher specific heat capacity than air. What this means is water can absorb and remove four times the heat and do it nearly 20 times faster than air when it comes to cooling your garden!
What's more, with the Ice Flow™ there is no need for air to enter or leave your grow room,YOU CAN KEEP YOUR GROW ROOM AIR TIGHT!
Which improves CO2 efficiency and reduces the introduction of pests, fungi, and other elements that could harm your crop cycles.The biggest benefit of increased CO2 efficiency is of course lower costs for using CO2 to grow, and for growers burning gas to create CO2, even more control over heat production because you won't have an open flame in your room for as many hours each day.
Watch your room temperatures drop...
See your electricity and A/C costs plummet...
And feel confident knowing you can grow your operation as big as you desire because it's almost impossible to out-grow the Ice Flow™ system.
If additional cooling is needed you can easily link multiple Ice Flow™ units together to double, triple, even quadruple your cooling power! This means you can get as big as you want... grow as many plants as you want... and never have to worry!
SO setup the Ice Flow™ in your grow room so you get the maximum cooling benefits from the system...
