Adding a fan speed controller to your extraction system provides the user with the ability to adjust how fast the fan is running and therefore the extraction rate. This is especially handy as the weather becomes cooler. A large extraction system running at full tilt may be great at keeping temperatures right during the height of summer. However in many case ...

Exploring Fan Types: Axial Fans: Optimized for High Volume, Low Pressure For applications needing large volume flow rates at low pressures, axial fans are the ideal solution. They have a wide surface area, which makes them perfect for heat exchange systems like condensers and evaporators as well as ventilation systems (like extract fans). Forward Curved Centri ...

It’s well-known that plants use macro and micro nutrients for tissue development and good biological progress. However on occasions we forget that carbon is also one of the necessary elements for the life of plants, and all organisms – of course. Not only are essential elements made up of carbon but so are desired metabolites like those in sensory properties such as aroma and flav ...

We asked two experienced growers (Dan from Oregon and Fred from The Netherlands) to face off with their different opinions on how to calculate your fan requirements. Whose method do you think is the best? ...

Measuring the temperature of a solution Control your nutrient solution temperature and prevent big swings. Temperature affects plant growth, flowering, seed production and pollination. If it’s too cold, seeds won’t germinate, cuttings won’t root, flowers won’t produce pollen. Your plants will grow slowly or stop growing altogether. Too hot, your seeds ...

Phresh Filters and Pressure Drop Carbon filters cause a pressure drop across the fan. An unrestricted fan working on full power will give the manufacturer’s specified air flow but when a carbon filter is ...

Max-Fan Pro Series fans are the next generation of inline mixed-flow fans capable of even more efficient and stronger ...

Temperature is a key factor in plant growth and development. Along with the levels of light, carbon dioxide, air humidity, water and nutrients, temperature influences plant growth and ultimately crop yields. All these factors should be in balance. Temperature influences the plant in t ...
