CO2 Release Systems

If your grow room gets hot, or the air is stagnant, or you're concerned about a lack of CO2, then air exchange can resolve the above. By simple extraction you not only keep to the temperatures that the plants love to thrive in, but you achieve better air circulation of stale air exhausted of usable CO2. Depending on grow rooms some people extract hot stale air out as well as drawing fresh air in. For complete air exchange however, a sealed grow room using a single extractor can cause a positive pressure, pulling air in from an available inlet. It really is a case of suck it and see. We do offer a complete upgrade service, so if you find you bought a fan from us that is too small for your needs, we will part exchange at full price against the price of a bigger one. This applies to all new equipment. The filters we offer clean the exhausted air of any unwanted odours that your plants might be producing, and they also act as great silencers.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential for plant growth. In an enclosed growing area, as plants use up available CO2, their growth will slow down and may eventually stop. Replenishing CO2 will not only maintain growth but dramatically increase it. The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 350 PPM [parts per million]. Through years of agreed upon practice, the optimum level is in the 1000-1500 PPM range. At these levels it is not uncommon to realise a 25-40% increase in yield. In the absence of CO2-enrichment equipment, the common way of replenishing CO2 content in an enclosed growing area is by an extractor fan. This draws in fresh air and with it ambient levels of CO2.
