Quiet A Grow Room







Quieting your grow room can enhance the growth and health of your plants and flowers.


There are several ways you can quiet your grow room once it is completed. Since many plants require quiet and climate-controlled comfort, finding methods to enhance your grow room's sound barrier is essential. From carpeting to fans, there are many ways to achieve tranquil results. These solutions depend on your price range and level of commitment. A quiet grow room will allow you to cultivate healthy plants and flowers, even in the dead of winter.


Instructions








1. Line the floor of your grow room with inexpensive thick rugs or carpeting. Do not waste money on expensive carpeting or other fabric flooring. Use carpet scraps or inexpensive throw rugs that can be replaced easily, in case of mold, mildew or moisture problems.


2. Cover any windows in the grow room. Use dark plastic sheeting, heavy curtains or soundproofing foam, such as Auralex. These coverings should allow some light through, while greatly minimizing the amount. A quiet grow room not only needs dim lighting, but also protection from the common noises outside a window, such as barking dogs, power tools or children at play.


3. Install low-power fans that are known for their low noise quality, such as the Panasonic Whisperline fan. Low-power fans will effectively circulate the air without increasing the noise. Another option would be a fan controller---such as those made by ProGrow---which include a built in thermostat to override any fan speed that exceeds set temperatures. Fan controllers provide for a quieter running system, while lengthening your fan's life span.
