Introduction
Growing your own plants takes a lot of time and resources. Many plants naturally thrive at a specific temperature and cannot withstand the winter.
That’s where greenhouses come in. With a greenhouse, you can protect your crops while continuing the growth cycle throughout the year.
Finding the necessary supplies for your greenhouse can be expensive and time-consuming. From affordable commercial greenhouse supplies to hobby greenhouse kits, ISC Sales has you covered with products great for clean air, water quality, and proper lighting.
Clean Air
Ensuring clean air in greenhouses is essential for maintaining healthy plant growth and maximizing crop yield. Strategies to achieve clean air in greenhouses include:
- Ventilation: Proper greenhouse ventilation helps remove excess humidity, regulate temperature, and exchange indoor air with fresh outdoor air. Greenhouses should be equipped with vents, louvers, or fans to facilitate airflow and prevent the buildup of pollutants.
- Filtration: Installing air filters can help remove dust, pollen, and other particulate matter from the incoming air. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are effective in capturing fine particles.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring: Excessive levels of CO2 can harm air quality. Monitoring and maintaining appropriate CO2 levels using carbon dioxide monitors can enhance plant growth. A carbon dioxide monitor gives you the air quality you need to stay green.
GREENHOUSE VENTILATION
Do greenhouses need ventilation?
L.B. White can provide you with an excellent greenhouse ventilation system. L.B. White fans withstand the demands of greenhouse environments and provide consistent and precise small greenhouse ventilation. L.B. White fans include:
Stir fan — Stir fans mix the air and provide air circulation in greenhouse facilities. L.B. White stir fans feature high-efficiency, quiet operation, dust tight TEAO motors, wide spacing on guards, and an industrial grade aluminum blade.
Shutter exhaust fan — L.B. White exhaust fans actively remove hot air and humidity from the greenhouse, especially during periods of excessive heat. These fans help prevent overheating and maintain optimal temperature levels.
Hanging box circulation fan — L.B. White circulation fans to promote even air distribution within the greenhouse. These fans help prevent stagnant air pockets and reduce temperature variations throughout the entire growing space.
BIG ASS FANS EVAPORATIVE COOLERS
Greenhouses can become excessively hot, especially during the summer months. Evaporative coolers use the principle of evaporation to cool the incoming air. As hot, dry air passes through a wetted medium (such as pads or screens), water evaporates, resulting in cooler air that is then circulated throughout the greenhouse. This process helps to maintain a more favorable temperature range for plant growth.
Big Ass Fans evaporative coolers feature an upgraded Aireye motor and a new aerodynamic blade design that delivers more efficient airflow. Quick-connect fittings on all electrical components allow for fast and easy replacements.
CLEANLEAF GREENHOUSE FILTRATION SYSTEMS
CleanLeaf Air Filtration provides filtration solutions for indoor cultivation environments, including greenhouses. They offer greenhouse air filtration solutions designed to improve air quality, remove contaminants, and maintain a clean and healthy growing environment for plants.
CleanLeaf Air Filtration systems typically employ a combination of filtration technologies to address various airborne pollutants commonly found in indoor cultivation settings. These pollutants can include dust, particulate matter, mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and odors.
CO2 METER FOR GREENHOUSES
The remote CO2 storage safety dual alarm (RAD-0102) protects people who work near carbon dioxide stored or produced in confined spaces such as a greenhouse. The CO2 storage safety alarm has both an audible alarm and a flashing visual indicator when CO2 concentrations reach a pre-set level. 2 built-in relays control a ventilation fan and an HVAC control alarm to notify maintenance staff off-site of high CO2 levels. CO2’s safety alarms are the perfect option for all greenhouse owners.
CO2 HANDHELD METER
Looking for the best carbon dioxide meter? We’ve got you covered. The GasLab Plus CM-510 is a multi gas handheld meter designed to measure multiple gas concentrations for many industries. With long-term data storage, the meter allows you to access and measure gas concentration using display data and audible alarm settings.
CO2 PERSONAL SAFETY MONITOR
The SAN-10 personal 5% CO2 safety monitor is for employees who work in enclosed areas where carbon dioxide buildup may cause personal harm. This personal safety monitor features a man down alarm triggered when an employee falls. It also includes a high impact strobe, powerful alarm and vigorous vibration.
Water Quality
Water is a critical resource for greenhouse operations as it directly influences plant growth and overall productivity. Irrigation systems, water quality and pH, water conservation, and drainage are all key considerations for water management in greenhouses.
Irrigation systems — Common irrigation system methods include overhead sprinklers, drip irrigation, or ebb and flow systems. Maintaining optimal humidity, or water vapor in the air, is also crucial.
Water quality — Test the water regularly for pH levels, salinity, nutrient content, and the presence of contaminants. Ideally, water should have a neutral pH, low salinity, and be free from harmful substances. Filtration, sedimentation, or improved chemical storage methods may all help maintain quality water.
Water conservation — Efficient water usage is essential for sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Implement water-saving practices such as drip irrigation or install probes to monitor moisture.
Drainage — Efficient drainage is crucial for preventing waterlogging and root diseases. Use well-draining growing media or substrates for potted plants. Install drainage systems or channels to collect and remove excess water effectively.
DRI-STEEM HUMIDIFIERS
Dri-Steem specializes in humidifiers that control and maintain optimal humidity levels in different environments, including greenhouses.
CRUV humidifiers use heat caused by electrical resistance in submerged heating elements to boil water into steam. The compact CRUV humidifier integrates into the inside of an existing enclosure. CRUV is self-contained, compatible with all water types, and the clear choice for adding a humidification system while meeting minimum space requirements.
CHEM-TAINER
Chem-Tainer chemical storage is ideal for handling acids and caustics. Features of Chem-Tainer storage tanks include excellent chemical and impact resistance for long, dependable service. Open-top tanks with a flat bottom allow for convenient mixing and filling.
AMIAD HIGH-PRESSURE FILTERS
Sturdy and strong, the Amiad high-pressure filters available at DripWorks will filter out dirt and other foreign objects. Amiad drip irrigation filters have a stainless steel screen and a heavily reinforced frame for maximum durability. You have a choice of sizes and styles when you shop our Amiad irrigation filter selection, letting you pick exactly the right Amiad filter for your application. Standard Amiad filters can handle higher pressures than the Amiad Tagline Filters.
Proper Lighting
Proper management of sunlight within a greenhouse is crucial to achieve healthy crop growth. Light diffusion, supplementation, and intensity are all important concerns.
Light diffusion — Using materials that diffuse light, such as diffused glass or specialized films, can help spread sunlight more evenly. Even sunlight reduces the risk of scorching and promotes uniform photosynthesis.
Light supplementation — In regions with limited sunlight or during periods of low light, supplemental lighting can provide additional artificial light to the plants. LED grow lights for plants are commonly used.
Light intensity and duration — Consider the natural daylight patterns and seasonal changes, and adjust shading or supplemental lighting accordingly.
