Hydroponic HVAC for Cannabis Growing Facilities

The indoor farming industry is changing and growing as we speak. In 2022 the indoor growing industry is estimated to jump to a $40.25 billion industry. Have you seen this industry increasing in the area you live? What kind of grow rooms are popping up in your town? 

One cause of the enormous indoor farming growth is the undependable nature of traditional farming for various reasons:

• Climate changes affecting the weather
• Lack of water
• Inadequate land for large growing areas
• Soil contamination

Because the demand for fresh, nutrient-dense produce has grown and recent legislation to legalize cannabis in many states, indoor farming is increasing like crazy. The indoor factor makes it easier for farmers to control and minimize the risks experienced with outdoor growing.

Although it’s not the first thing you think about when you consider indoor farming, a sound HVAC system should be a top priority for any indoor grow facility. As consumers, it probably doesn’t even cross our minds as a component of this ever-increasing industry. Still, it can affect almost every aspect of the business and is unlike any normal HVAC system in a commercial building. The atmosphere and environment of a grow room, if neglected, can cost a company thousands of dollars overnight. You certainly don’t want your HVAC system to be the weak link in your operation!

That being said, indoor grow facilities spend thousands of dollars and take months to design and build the right HVAC system for their company. Each grow facility is different and has different requirements and specific needs. Getting it right in the beginning is worth the time and money. Your HVAC system is crucial to the success of your plants thriving, but also of your plants being the quality that you desire.

Now that marijuana has been legalized in so many states across the country, and some have even legalized it for recreational use, the demand has grown considerably. It doesn’t look like it will slow down anytime soon either.

Traditional HVAC units will not hack it for marijuana-growing facilities. Unique cannabis hydroponic HVAC systems are needed so that farmers have better control of the environment in each grow room. The airflow, temperature, humidity, lighting, and more are necessary for optimal growth. The conditions have to be precise and just right. The more control farmers have of their grow rooms, the better quality their product will be.

Growing cannabis outdoors is an entirely different operation than growing indoors. Outside, you are at the mercy of mother nature. When you’re growing inside, you can manipulate all of the environmental stressors typically put on young growing plants to get the outcome you desire. That is if you have the right equipment and HVAC service techs as part of your team.

Each room in your grow room operation is sure to either be a different product or, at the very least, at various stages of growth. This means that each room could have different needs regarding temperature, humidity, lights, and airflow. Because of these variations, a standard HVAC is challenging and virtually impossible to use. 

A hydroponics HVAC system can maintain ideal conditions for each of these spaces at the same time – easily. It’s what they are designed to do. With this kind of setup, cultivators and indoor farmers can have quite a bit of influence on how their product ends up as well as how consistent the quality is. 

AirLogix is your trusted source for your full-service HVAC needs, including your indoor growing rooms. Your cannabis business can succeed with the right hydroponic HVAC system for your space, and AirLogix can help you get there.

Hydroponic HVAC systems are becoming more widely used in cannabis growing because of the flexibility it gives indoor farmers. Hydroponic cooling is not just your typical air conditioning unit that you turn on and off as you need. Instead, a hydroponic HVAC unit creates the perfect humidity and temperature for your particular strain of cannabis to grow at its best.

When you stop to consider the things that could go wrong, there are plenty – temperature drops, not enough humidity, airflow being constricted, and more. These small but large errors can lead to mold growing, plants dying, or not growing as robust and ideal as you want. These things are all preventable with hydroponic technology!

When you are prepared with the right equipment, you can set yourself up for success. There are all kinds of indoor farming HVAC equipment available, including:

• Humidifiers & dehumidifiers
• Ventilation systems of all types
• Air conditioning
• Exhaust fans
• Airflow rotation systems
• Humidity controls
• Lighting

When there is a need for HVAC equipment, there is a need for HVAC technicians to help design, install, repair, and maintain it. That’s why creating a good relationship with your HVAC group is a must.

AirLogix works hard to bring you the most innovative products available. Because we are up on the latest and greatest hydroponic HVAC systems, you can trust us to show you the best options for your situation and long-term goals. 

HVAC systems are quite expensive, surprisingly expensive for some new growers. Many turn to a less costly and lower built system to save on costs, but it often ends up costing them more in the end because of repairs and lost product. 

Hydroponic HVACs are expensive to run as well. These are not systems just providing air conditioning for your comfort. These are units that run all day and all night. There is a constant load or burden on your equipment, so you want quality. This is why at AirLogix, we encourage the best system installations available the first time while still considering your budget and goals for your operation. 

As your HVAC team, we work closely to minimize the costs as much as we can. Changing things up with temperature and humidity allows you to meet the plant demands and still be cost-effective. It’s all about getting that set point just right and making sure that you have the equipment required to do it. 

Hydroponic HVAC systems are the easiest and best way today to achieve prime conditions for your indoor farming. These high-efficiency HVAC systems are not only the most efficient but the most reliable. In addition, they last longer and are easier to service than others.

When you’re ready to design and purchase your HVAC equipment, it is essential to step back and consider your goals for the short-term and long-term future. Asking yourself a few questions can help you narrow down the equipment you will need.

• What is your grow facility like?
• What exactly are you growing?
• Where is your business located, and what is the weather like year-round?
• How much heat and how much moisture needs to be removed or added?
• When do the heat and moisture need to be removed or added?
• What is the temperature you’re trying to achieve?
• What is the humidity you want?
• Will you be using lights?
• How will you be growing your plants – on racks, using pots, benches?
• What is your budget?
• What is your timeline?

Depending on where your facility is, the size and what you will be growing will rely on the system that you require. AirLogix can help you navigate the many choices available to fit your operation just right as well as help you answer some of the questions just mentioned. Because we know it can be overwhelming doing it on your own!

You expect your hydroponic HVAC to work precisely how you need it to. You’ve invested so much time and money in your indoor garden, you can’t afford a silly temperature slip-up or air ventilation issue to destroy what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
