Cannabis & Grow Rooms
Although often overlooked, proper ventilation is a vital aspect of raising healthy and strong plants. Without airflow systems, the space throughout your grow room or greenhouse can become a pathogen and pest breeding ground. Improve air circulation with Patterson Fan Company. We’re a premier manufacturer of high-quality industrial fans for the horticulture, agriculture, and cannabis industries.
Why Air Circulation is Key to Plant Growth:
Plants grown outdoors enjoy the mitigating effects of wind, sunshine, and precipitation. When indoors, grow lights and watering systems are substituted for daylight and rain. However, regularly disregarded is the need for wind or air circulation. There are many reasons to improve ventilation within your floriculture facility, fruit and vegetable greenhouse, indoor gardening operation, or cannabis grow room.
Combat Pests
Mold, mildew, and insects prosper in stagnant, humid conditions. Airflow from industrial fans creates a steady breeze, protecting against harmful mites, fungus, and diseases.
Manage Temperatures
Grow lights emit heat, and a few degrees of stagnant temperature can mean the difference between prosperous or unsuccessful plant growth. Managing the airflow and ventilation can safeguard crops against excess heat.
Control Humidity
Plants transpire water vapor into the air, increasing grow room humidity. Uncontrolled humidity can lead to poor growing conditions during the plant's life cycle. Superior ventilation lowers the humidity, enabling plants to absorb more water and pull up nutrients through their root systems. This boosts their growth and harvest potential.
Strengthen Plant Growth
When grown outdoors, plants are subjected to the wind. As a result, their stalks become thicker and sturdier. Stouter plants grow better than weaker ones, which can break under the weight of their own yields. Airflow from industrial fans supports the necessary breeze for plant strengthening.
Increase Carbon Dioxide
Plants must absorb carbon dioxide throughout the day for nutrients. Poor ventilation decreases carbon dioxide levels, limiting growth capabilities. Industrial fans help move the stale air with ventilated, fresh air to improve air quality.
It’s not uncommon for botanists to assume that opening greenhouse windows or roof vents provides adequate ventilation. In most situations, however, it’s not enough. Natural ventilation is inconsistent, difficult to control, and doesn’t reach all corners of a grow room.
Energy-efficient industrial fans are the best way to optimize air circulation within agricultural structures. At Patterson, we have a range of airflow solutions tailored for these spaces. Since 1989, Patterson Fan has been developing custom air-circulation solutions that help growers obtain the air movement required to cultivate healthy, strong plants. Our grow room fans are designed to deliver powerful airflow, reaching all areas of a grow room, with lasting durability.
Plant grow room airflow management might seem tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. The experts at Patterson work with you to understand your requirements. From there, they come up with the optimal solution for your application. Give us a call today to learn more about our industrial fans for your cultivation rooms.
