This comprehensive approach ensures effective ventilation, essential for harmonious growth over the large area of the room.

Question 7

For a room 600x300, are 350mm extractors sufficient to avoid overheating and ensure optimal air renewal in intense cultivation?

Accepted Answer

For a cultivation chamber 600 x 300 x 215 cm (approximately 38.7 m³), a 350 mm extractor can be suitable if its maximum flow rate is around 1100 to 1200 m³/h. This flow rate would allow for air renewal every 2 minutes, which is recommended for intense cultivation. To ensure effective ventilation and avoid overheating, it is important that: The extractor model is efficient and optimized for a flow rate close to 1200 m³/h. The extraction circuit uses short, smooth ducts with a minimum of bends. The air inlets are sufficiently sized to compensate for the extraction flow rate. A temperature and humidity control system is implemented to adjust ventilation in real-time. In case of using very powerful lamps or particularly dense cultivation, it may be wise to consider a more powerful extractor (for example, 400 mm) or to couple several smaller extractors to increase the overall flow rate.

Question 8

How long does the Mylar coating typically last before losing its light reflection efficiency under normal usage conditions?

Accepted Answer

The Mylar coating of the ORCA Intense 2.5 Grow Tent generally retains excellent light reflection capability for approximately 5 to 8 years under normal indoor usage conditions. This duration mainly depends on maintenance, cleanliness, and protection against mechanical or chemical assaults. After this period, slight degradation in efficiency may occur, but the film remains effective for some time thereafter.

Question 9
