7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light leakage from tent | Zippers not fully closed; small gaps in fabric. | Ensure all zippers are completely closed. Check for any small holes or tears and repair with light-proof tape. |
| High temperature inside tent | Insufficient ventilation; light too close to plants; high ambient room temperature. | Increase fan speed. Adjust light height. Ensure room temperature is suitable. Add an oscillating fan for air circulation. |
| Low humidity inside tent | Dry ambient air; insufficient misting. | Use a humidifier. Increase frequency of misting plants. |
| GrowHub A22 not connecting to WiFi | Incorrect WiFi password; router too far; 2.4GHz vs 5GHz network issue. | Verify WiFi password. Move GrowHub closer to router. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz network. |
