I am manually adding 02 with oxygen tanks and regs,the same way I have done c02. I have never done it but I think it will be practically the same. I think your definitely right about where I posted this. Getting adequate oxygen to the root zone has really been on my mind and you make a great point with that ? . I was thinking of running lines through the soil that will expel but info on the amount is a mystery to me also I pondered just adding o2 to the water but the effectiveness is in question. I'm at the ground floor with this design and I want to do it the best way possible. I found some Info on the net http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/3368.html. I didn't know it was more commonly referred to as a "cge" and I kept calling it a "sealed Room" and I think that threw people off, ignorance on my part.
Same thing friend, a sealed room is also a closed growing environment.
I don't think they will exhale nearly enough for their own Root zone and for the gardener to breath. I'm going to maintain around 20% oxygen or 210 ppm at all times. keep in mind if the plants do keep the room at that level then I wont have to refill my tank because it will only supplement below 210ppm. I already own everything I need for the setup so if it turns out that I don't need it, I'll just save some cash on refilling my tank.
dumb me ,,,,,,,what about section off the roots (they grow tho a tarp the tarp would make 2nd area where u can supply O2 the extra pressure will make it go tho the slits )
Yea, I used air babblers in my res before I have a few, going soil because I like the results of finished product better. I dont want to constantly fiddle with ec and ph changes or worry about salt buildup and 50 gallons a day was just driving me nuts nutes get costly... I know I'll produce less, but Iv'e done both and just prefer soil.
Hey thanx for the review....
Not a greenhouse, but check my 8000 watt sealed room in link in my signature below. Several videos. Maybe it will provide some help or give you an idea or two. Good luck!
Correct 210,000, I have a few 02 sensors from my tunneling days. I appreciate the useful advice! Yea I'll have to get a bigger dehumidifier for sure. Im using soaker lines so I can put them in a little deeper, great idea. thanx alot.
Id hope your right but putting in o2 anyway. I don't need anyone to take me by the hand but if someone has experience doing something I've never done they can chime in to say hey watch out for this like someone gave a helpful hint about humidity that saves me the headache of after the fact kind of work ya know?
Pretty nice setup man, your using one heel ova pump! how's that min split working out? I had a 12x24 and ended up using a 5 ton unit because I didn't think a mini split would quite get it, but I was also doing more 6,000 more wats. I think your plant layout per light was a pretty well calculated decision. I did one per light and trimming after working a ten a hour day was killing me! I think it would of been a bit easier with your layout.
well any roots leave the grow zone will dry out and die so I dont think that will work but I like the way you're thinking. Problem solver mentality.
Thank you. The mini-split is more than sufficient. With outdoor temps in the 50s at night, even in the summer, we run out lights 9pm - 9am most of the time. This drastically reduces the need for cooling and our mini-split automatically throttles itself as needed. Much of the time it simply doesn't run since we're running CO2 and we want the temps to be in the low 80s. Funny enough, the heater on the mini-split is occasionally running in the winter months, even with 8000k and CO2 burner (being a sealed room, the burner only runs for a few minutes at a time...we have it set to run at 1200 ppm and shut off at 1500 ppm).
