Operating Instructions
To optimize your plant growth environment:
- Lighting: Install your grow lights using the provided support bars. The reflective Mylar interior maximizes light efficiency, ensuring your plants receive ample illumination.
- Ventilation: Utilize the ventilation openings (Φ15cm, Φ20cm) and mesh vents to manage air circulation. Use spring buckles to adjust vent sizes as needed. Proper airflow is crucial for plant health and temperature regulation.
- Cable Management: Route electrical cables for lights, fans, and other equipment through the designated ventilation openings in the upper corners to maintain a tidy and safe setup.
- Temperature and Humidity Control: Monitor the internal climate using appropriate sensors. Adjust ventilation and external heating/cooling as necessary to maintain optimal conditions for your specific plants.
- Access: Use the large heavy-duty zippers for easy access to your plants while minimizing light leaks. The observation window (30L x 30Wcm) allows for quick checks without opening the main door.
- Tool Storage: Use the internal tool bag for convenient storage of your gardening tools and accessories.
