“ By following the guideposts of such fundamentals as heat and humidity , modern cannabis growers can continue a fruitful dialogue about best cultivation practices .”
Exhaust fans offer the simplest and most affordable method for regulating the environment in small spaces . They accomplish this by expelling hot humid air while pulling in fresh , CO 2-rich air from the outside . In best-case scenarios , you can run the exhaust from the grow area to a window or vent directly to the outside of the building . However , in wintertime or cool climates , people occasionally exhaust a grow tent or closet into the larger area of a home or garage . Air conditioners are used by growers in situations where exhaust fans aren ’ t sufficient to handle excessive heat and humidity loads seen in the summer season or tropical climates . While they work great to regulate these environmental constraints , they pose challenges for planning . Portable AC units take up valuable square footage in a growroom and must be positioned in a place which allows them to dispel heat and humidity to the outside . Because they produce excessive heat , grow lights are extremely impactful on the temperature of small indoor gardens . Growers have three primary choices in lights that are powerful enough for both vegetative growth and flowering phases : SE HPS lights , DE HPS lights , and LED lights .
