When growing hydroponically, keep temperature and humidity consistent in all rooms of your grow tent. In a greenhouse, this can be done using ventilation and insulation. You can minimize the effects of external conditions by ensuring that the temperature and humidity in your grow tent are consistent.
To prevent the light from shining through windows, cover the windows with the highly reflective materials.
To prepare the surface, smooth the walls. This will make the paint look flat and will increase the amount of light that shines through, and this will make the paint reflect at a higher rate of reflectivity. To make the white latex paint reflect less, choose the clear gloss paint color. Most latex will be too thin to be used directly over concrete, but it can be used over a layer of special primer.
Growers have tried many different ways to reflect light onto their crops, but the only product that meets the standards of 90% reflectivity is aluminum foil. This is one of the reasons that it is rarely used by any growers, since it isn't nearly as durable as other reflective materials. Many growers spend a lot of time trying to make aluminum foil reflect light just right. Although their efforts are admirable, there is no product that can compare with the reflectivity of aluminum foil.
There are drawbacks to the use of black and white PVC film, so most growers avoid the material because it also produces a significant amount of heat. The problem with heat production is that it results in high energy costs.
Also, LED bulbs are not resistant to heat, which means that areas near the light source, such as HID, are in danger of getting melted.
The mylar material gives its product a high degree of reflectivity and a very smooth surface that's easily scratched. That combination of attributes makes mylar products extremely ideal for uses where they have to withstand scratches and abrasion and remain smooth.
The material can be used as a greenhouse roof. Mylar is used for roofing because it reflects light and heat. Fiberglass would be a great material but is too hard for growing purposes. Foylon is lighter than both of the above materials and can also reflect light and heat, making it suitable for use in a greenhouse.
When deciding which strain of cannabis to grow:
HVAC has very important aspects that you should be aware of when buying this type of equipment. We've prepared a detailed tutorial about features that particular equipment should have and how to choose the right equipment to save your energy.
The main part of any grow-room consists of the electrical lighting system. It's a very important part of your grow room and is the most responsible for the overall quality of the plants.
Most growers use a mix of high and low wattage lights to grow. The lights that are used should provide a mix of both high and low wattage lights.
The high-wattage lights are used when the plants are just beginning to grow to promote their growth.
When the plants are ready to flower, the low-wattage lights are more appropriate for the growth of the plants.
