Starting an indoor grow: do you need an air intractor?
Introduction
It may be necessary to use an air intractor for your indoor grow if your grow space is confined or if you want to bring in air from a more distant room.
Using a grow room
If you use a grow room, your intraction will be done naturally through the openings at the bottom of your box. In this case, you won't need an intravenous.
Using a large grow room or closing the windows
If you use a large grow room or close the windows of your cubicle, an intractor will be necessary.
Choosing the right power for the extractor
It is important to choose the right wattage for your intravenous system based on your extractor. If you put in more air than the extractor can take out, the air will come out of your grow room along with the odors, which is called positive pressure.
Using an extractor with a carbon filter
If you are using a carbon filter extractor, you will need a 35% less powerful extractor. For example, for a 400m3h extractor, you will need an intractor of about 260m3h.
Using an extractor without a carbon filter
If you are not using a carbon filter, you can reduce the power by 15% to find the power needed for your extractor. For example, for a 400m3h extractor, you will need an intractor of about 340m3h.
