The Role of Ventilation in a Custom Grow Tent

Proper Air Flow is Key for Healthy Plants

Plants like human babies, need fresh air to get big and strong. As we need to breathe air, healthy plants also need an effective ventilation system functioning inside grow tents for fair health. The inside air of a grow tent can be stale with sodden surroundings that are bad for plants. We strive to keep them happy by providing plenty of air flow. 

To achieve this, fans should be used in the grow tent. The fans help to keep the air from getting stale. For the plants to get the carbon dioxide they need for photosynthesis. This also adds on more purpose by properly acclimating the stems and leaves of the plant will prevent them from drooping or from breaking due to thinning out. 

How to Control Humidity for Best Yield? 

Relative humidity is literally the water that is available in the air. Plants require humidity to prevent them from drying. High humidity levels can lead to diseases and mold on the plants. If too dry, the plants can wilt, and if not dried enough, they can become limp or mold. It is most important in a grow tent to maintain the humidity levels thereby increasing the relative humidity of your plants as this can produce a higher yield. 

Dehumidification: For controlling the humidity, one can go for a dehumidifier. Using a hygrometer to measure the humidity levels daily, you can do this with some help of our Pest Prevention Programs. This will ensure that your plants stay as happy and healthy. 

Balancing Through Ventilation for Temperature Change

Plants are basically Goldie Locks- they don't like it too hot or too cold. They like their heat, just so. If you are growing your marijuana plant inside of a small grow tent, the temps in there can vary greatly during dark. Ventilation is required to deal with these temperature fluctuations. 

Exhaust fans help to evacuate the hot air from a grow tent, which is vital in maintaining comfortable conditions for your plants. Alternatively you can utilize intake fans that pulls cool fresh air from outside. This is important to create a well balanced soil environment promoting health plant growth. 

The Importance of Good Airflow in Preventing Mold and Mildew Growth

Mold and mildew are like those unwelcome friends in a grow tent. They can also make your plants sick and keep them from growing. Proper airflow prevents the buildup of mold and mildew. 

Proper ventilation helps to keep the air flowing and prevent fungal spores from settling on your plants. This helps to keep mold and mildew at bay. It is also important to keep the Grow Tents clean and free of material that can help mold spores exist. 

Improved Photosynthesis in Grow Tents Through Better CO2 Exchange

Through photosynthesis, plants used Carbon-dioxide(CO2) to prepare food. CO2 Levels can fluctuate, and in a closed grow tent may deplete this is because proper ventilations improve the CO2 exchange that plants need for vigorous growth. 

Using a CO2 enrichment system is another way to increase the levels of carbon dioxide in your grow tent. The grow tent produces more photosynthesis and rapid plant growth. Proper ventilation can help fine-tune CO2 exchange and make sure appropriate airflow is enhancing the potential of your plants.
