Grow Systems
Choosing the right grow system is crucial to the quality of product , speed of growth , and ongoing maintenance of your grow . Just like with LED lighting if you spend a bit more on an automated hydroponics system you will be rewarded with much less ongoing maintenance opposed to soil , faster growth , and larger more potent flowers . Depending on the type of hydroponic system chosen you can also save up to 93 percent of the water or nutrients being used in the grow as well . Your end goals will also help determine the best type of grow system to go with : if growing for extracts then large soil plants or deep water culture hydroponic buckets would be great . Meanwhile , if you are growing for flower production or in a vertical farm then stonewool drain-to-waste style grow tables are ideal . There are many types of hydroponic methods and soil mixes , all of which are adding oxygen and nutrients to the root-zone . With soils or hydroponics we are always trying to add aeration and nutrients to help the roots thrive and have an easier time travelling through it . The biggest difference with hydroponics is the lack of resistance on the roots versus soil depending on the system , of course . Coconut husk , although considered hydroponics , will offer a similar growth speed as soil due to its dense nature . In general , hydroponic methods such as drain-to-waste , deep water culture , or aeroponics have a 3-4x speed and yield over soilgrown plants due to the lack of root resistance as well as the ability to dial in exact nutrient and temperature levels .
“ Setting your grow space up with sustainable practices such as solar , hydroponics , or recapturing water expelled from your plants can save the planet and your wallet .”
HVAC
Heating , ventilation , and air conditioning are all required for your grow space to operate properly . While your growroom will be heating up from the dehumidifiers and lights during its day cycle , you still need heaters to regulate nighttime temperatures . Sealed growrooms with no outside air exchange are ideal to not rob your room of CO 2 , introduce bugs or moulds from outside , or change your desired environment . We still require some ventilation to be able to vent the room during cleaning or emergencies . Because of this , ductless wall units are one of the best choices for indoor growrooms . Additionally , it is much cheaper to have ductless wall units installed due to their efficiency over time , initial cost , and lack of trunk lines .
