ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT FOR YOUR GROW BOX

Ventilation

The plant needs CO2 for growing. Outdoors, there is enough CO2 to support the growth of cannabis, but indoors, you should build ventilation system to ensure a constant supply of CO2 with fresh air.

 Duct fans

Duct fans

Duck fans are the most common parts of ventilation systems. They are used to draw hot air out a grow box. The speed of fanscan be adjusted using a dimmer. The fans are powered by 220v. Fanshave round and rectangular shapes. You can buy them in hardware stores or in construction markets. The most silent fans areSolaur& Palau.

Fans

Small industrial and home fans can be used for small growboxes. The most common sizes are 80x80mm, 120x120mm.

Make sure that fans are secured: they need to have a steady bearing. It is equally important to know how to position the fan. We recommend the side bearing because it increases efficiency 3-4 times, while the floor bearing is more secure. Sometimes, you can use a VAPO bearing with magnetic axis. Parallel axis keeps noise level low. Experts say that the use of fans with a VAPO bearing is preferable.

To increase the airflow, a parallel connection is used:  two or more fans pump air into one direction. To increase the air pressure, an opposite connection is used when two or more fans are located one in front of another (like an air turbine). Any connectionscreate good airflow with two relatively cheap fans.

You can wire and connect fans to the computer. You need to connect wires: red (+) and black (-). You can use power 12V. Do not connect into 220V socket. It is necessary to use a universal power supply (1.5-12V 300-750mA) with alternating voltage. You can buy it in a hardware store.

AT POWER UNIT

If you bought an AT power unit without a switch, then you are in trouble. Your task now is to build one: to connect the wires so that the unit is working but not burned. Usually, the unit has four thick wires (under 220 volts) in multi-colored insulation - blue, white, brown, black. In order for the power to turn on, connect the blue wire with white, and brown with black. Be careful, all these wires have 220 volts!FIRST connect them, carefully wrap the tape, and then only turn on your unit on.

ATX POWER UNIT

ATX power unit do not turn on right away, but only after the signal from the motherboard. You can switch on the unit by closing green wire with any of the black ones. It can be done with a paper clip.

HOUSEHOLD FANS

Household fans are good for air circulation inside the grow box. Move the fan from side to side to increase its productivity.

 

REFLECTIVE COATING INSIDE THE GROWBOX

Foil

Foil is not the best option for reflective coating. Still you can use it by the matte side of the foil. The shiny side will create hot spots and cause burns. If you want to use foil, use its matte side.

Penofol

Penofol is used for a reflective insulation. It is easy to use that’s why it is one of the most popular materials for insulation and reflection. Penofol is a material consisting of a layer of polyethylene and aluminum. The material is thin, flexible, light, environmentally friendly.

Its reflective effect of radiating energy is up to 97%. Penofol is available in several options 1 mm to 16 mm. Attach Penofol to the walls of the grow box with glue, screws, nails, clips.ThinPenofol is perfect for a reflective coating of the growbox. Thick Penofolis used mostly in construction.

Remember, that a grow box is a warm place. Its temperature will rise with Penofol so you need to think about cooling. Remember, that Penofolis a good noise isolator. 

The main disadvantage Penofolis its price. It is quite expensive material.
