What Is a Grow Room Controller?
At their most basic level, grow room controllers allow you to automate your growing process. They take the risk of human error out of growing, allowing you to ensure that you reduce common grow room problems.
A grow room environmental controller gives growers the ability to monitor and control many aspects of plant health, including moisture, nutrients, CO2 level, lighting, heat, and more. The best part? You’re able to ensure optimal growing conditions without having to be physically present in your greenhouse. Simply create a schedule and let your controllers do the work for you.
What Are The Types of Grow Room Controllers?
From controlling a single function, like lighting or nutrient level, to multi-function controllers, you’ll see several types of environmental controllers, including:
- CO2 Controllers: Allowing you to set specific carbon dioxide set points, CO2 controllers provide the right level of CO2 enrichment at specific temperatures that you set.
- Humidity Controllers: Set your preferred humidity set points, day and night, with a humidity controller. These controllers are typically designed to work with humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and intake and exhaust fans.
- Irrigation Controllers: Create a customized watering schedule with an irrigation controller. They’re the perfect tool for setting when and how much water is provided to your plants at specific times.
- Lighting Controllers: Lighting is essential to a high-yielding growing operation. Lighting controllers allow you to program your lighting period, setting how long you want lights to run in order to ensure optimal growth.
- Nutrient Controllers: Deliver precise doses of essential nutrients to your plants with a nutrient controller. These handy tools let you create custom blends of nutrients depending on the specific needs of your plants.
- pH Controllers: pH controllers, or pH dosing systems, are devices that are capable of measuring, adjusting, and monitoring the pH level of your growing soil and water.
- Temperature Controllers: Designed to work with your greenhouse’s cooling and heating systems, temperature controllers allow you to set a specific schedule of cooling and heating times.
- Ventilation Controllers: Especially beneficial during the summer, ventilation controllers help to ensure you have an even temperature in your growing space. They work in concert with fans and air conditioners to help lower the ambient temperature of your growing area.
All-In-One Grow Room Controllers
Sometimes you just need a specific controller to help remedy individual problems you’ve noticed in your growing operation. However, if you find yourself needing to buy multiple grow room controllers, it might be time to look at a more comprehensive solution.
All-in-one controllers, like the Autogrow IntelliClimate, help you automatically manage multiple aspects of your grow room climate control, including temperature, CO2, lighting, and humidity. Providing the ability to control your entire growing process in a single location, multi-function controllers are a solid investment.
