How To Prepare Your Grow Room For Warmer Weather

How To Prepare Your Grow Room For Warmer Weather

July 13, 2020 By Andres Ocon Leave a Comment

Increased temperatures in the summer work well for outdoor gardeners, but pose a challenge for indoor gardeners. The main issue is keeping the temperatures low enough so as not to impact the growth of the plants. For indoor gardens, lighting is the single biggest source of unwanted heat generation. Some newer systems come with adjustable ballasts, which enables the wattage to be turned down and generate less heat. Alternatively, the same effect can be achieved by using LED lights, which are more energy efficient overall. Having a good extraction system is critical for successful indoor gardening as it exhausts moisture and carbon dioxide created by the plants. Using the fan controlled by temperature sensor will optimize this process. Those without big budget constraints can consider environmental control unit which would automatically monitor and control cooling, heating, dehumidifying and circulation processes.

Key Takeaways:

  • The coming summer might be a problem for your garden, because some plants might not like the heat.
  • If you have an indoor garden, try switching your lighting to LEDs to minimize the heat.
  • You can also purchase a climate control unit to change heat, humidity, and more.

“One of the best things an indoor gardener can do to reduce heat buildup within a grow room is reduce the heat produced by their lighting. The best way to do this is to have an adjustable ballast that allows users to reduce their bulbs output. Simply turn the ballast wattage down to either 250w, 450w or 600w to reduce the heat produced by your bulb.”
