ADDRESSING AIR QUALITY ISSUES IN A GROWROOM
by Kent Gruetzmacher
Though a bit less glamourous than lighting,
mediums, and nutrients, your growroom’s air
quality is vital to a successful crop.
Kent Gruetzmacher delves a
little deeper into why and how
you should find the perfect
balance of your indoor
garden’s air temperature
and humidity levels.
T
he primary factors that contribute to the
success or failure of an indoor garden
are light, grow mediums, nutrients, and
air quality. When troubleshooting
an indoor cultivation operation,
it is an all-too-common mistake
for novice gardeners to focus
on the first three elements and
neglect the last. However,
finding an ideal equilibrium
of air quality—mainly
concerning temperature
and humidity—is essential
in the propagation of
quality and bountiful
harvests. With meticulous
attention to detail, indoor
growers can create
artificial environments
inside growrooms that help
alleviate concerns with
airborne pathogens while
ensuring efficiency with
irrigation and nutrient uptake.
