Setting Up a Grow Room Environmental Controller For Better Yields

In the quest to grow the perfect indoor plant, energy-efficient, powerful, and automated equipment can help you achieve optimal climate control. However, even a complete setup of automated systems has room for innovation. That's where integrated environmental control systems (ECS) come in.

Integrating every piece of equipment in your grow room such as grow lights, irrigation systems, CO2 enrichment systems, and temperature/humidity controllers can create a seamless and cohesive environment that is easy to manage. 

If you want to optimize your grow room to perfection, an integrated climate control system can monitor every single aspect of your garden and produce a huge harvest. In the end, you'll save yourself time and money investing in an environmental control system.

What Is A Grow Room Controller?

A grow room controller allows you to automate your cultivation tasks and remove the risk of human error. Because of this, many of the common grow room issues can be a thing of the past. 

Ultimately, a grow room controller allows you to control the health of the plant and critical variables including the lighting, heating, CO2, nutrients, moisture, all remotely after you've pre-programmed them onto your controller.

While you don't need a grow room controller to produce a healthy plant, it can help improve your chances of growing connoisseur-grade cannabis. They are essentially a guarantee to grow great cannabis.

Benefits of environmental controllers include:

Data logging capabilities
Precise climate control
Energy savings
Reduced waste 
Grow Room Controller Types

In the grow room, there are many different variables and lots of equipment needed to maintain and care for plants. As a result, there are many types of grow room controllers to control every aspect of the environment inside the growing space.

Here are a few common single purpose controllers:

CO2 controller: A CO2 controller allows you to program specific carbon dioxide set points. You can provide the right level of CO2 enrichment at the temperatures that you program.
Humidity controller: Humidity controls allow you to set your ideal humidity set points for any time of day to control your humidity devices such as the humidifier, dehumidifier, and intake/exhaust fans. They can help you achieve your ideal moisture content.
Irrigation controller: Program your irrigation controller to water your plants at predetermined times. You can program the time and how much water is given to your plants.
Light controller: Lighting controllers allow you to set your lighting schedule. Set how long you want your lights to run depending on the stage of plant growth such as vegetative stage or flowering stage.
Nutrient controller: Program the controller to give your plants just the right amount of dose of essential nutrients. Create custom nutrient blends to meet the needs of different stages of growth.
pH controller: These devices can help you measure, adjust, and monitor pH levels in your soil and water.
Temperature Controller: A digital temperature controller allows you to program your cooling and heating systems. Temperature controllers allow you to decide when the devices should turn on and off. The day or night temperature can easily be controlled with this temperature control device.
Ventilation controller: Ventilation controllers can help keep an optimal temperature in your grow room. They can work alongside fans and air conditioners to keep a perfect ambient temperature. 
All-In-One Grow Room Controller

An all-in-one environmental controller can be a complete solution to your entire grow space instead of relying on individual components or a single controller to handle one problem. An electronic 3-in-1 sensor measures external conditions and can detect temperature, humidity, and light. Separate sensors can measure other grow room variables. 

All-in-one/integrated environmental controllers like the Trolmaster Hydro-X Environment Control System can provide complete control and help growers control all aspects of their climate including CO2 levels, lighting, temperature levels, humidity levels, and more. Best of all, they come in a central unit and can have a mobile-friendly version that enables remote monitoring.

Nothing but the best! just got my order of everything to control my new room, had to go with Trolmaster also!

[TrueAmericanNo.]

The products just continue to excell, the videos are clean, you guys are lit! Keep up the good work growmies.

Systems like this are an absolute game changer. Controllers like this have been used in greenhouses for a while, I adapted a greenhouse system to control a grow tent/room and the results have been amazing, well over 1.2 grams per kwh, up from 0, 9 average. I've been making contollers for the past few years for my projects like small greenhouses and growtents that stabilize the climate according to VPD. This way humidifiers, ventilation and even heaters work much more efficiently.
I find these systems really shine in greenhouse situations though because the climate is inherently more unstable so there's much more gains to be made. Lately I see alot more indoor grows use an oversized industrial air handler, even in shipping containers and these things are capable of keeping temp and humidity rock solid no matter what. Appearantly also very efficient so long as you have adequate insulation.

I would love an episode at the end where you go over approximate costs.

[nexlemav]

I love everything this channel stands for. Amazing system too.

[budstermcgreen]

That's definitely going to be a pimped out grow room! ✌️

[jacobpostma]

Amazing system. Cant wait to get the hawk eye in the mail

[TrollHunterxXx]

Thanks Justin & crew! Growers Network ..: Growing Exposed keeping it 10 toes down for the growers

[detroitluv]

I want to understand the flow control valve and breaking the garden into zones. I like to know if it’s like an automatic shut off valve. Would I still put the pumps on timers?

[diannabrownridge]

The trolmaster par meter is worthless. It only measures up to 680nm but every led now goes to like 750. It can't even see much of the light my fixtures are putting out.

[reefonbux]

I hope this is as detailed as I need it to be

[jimyjimymepapas]

so if you need to control a heater, dehum, hum, and in and out fan with day\night settings which expansions you have to get?

[MrYotatoys]

What would all the product here cost looking to go full automation

[growtek]

All of the trolmaster stuff featured here has to be over $2, 000. Maybe affordable to some but not most....especially if your a homegrower. Also, no human error is possible with this on! Don't sell it like that. A human still has to know how to set it up and run it and know when something is going wrong. With any sort of automation, there is always a chance that things don't function properly....it could be a plugged up filter, a kinked hose, a leaky valve or plenty of other things. A grower has to always be monitoring his/her garden.

[VMaxTV]

I need guideline to connect a trolmaster i m.lost

[jacobpostma]

Whats a unit and set up like that cost?

[mikes_work]

I’m willing to get this brand for my setup if you are interested in helping me understand and setup

Five tent setup
1000 soft dedicated facility
Construction happening now and I’m trying to choose what systems I go with. Let me know. Thanks

[chuyulater]

Fuck would be Nice to have ALL that Shit to Grow my Babies! I'm just a grower on a Budget!

[alickomay]

that hydro x pro plus co2 monitor, par monitor, ec, ph your talking over $3000 not what id call affordable its what i would call extremely expensive

[TruCanna]

That trol master is not accurate at all. Looks cool though. Works for the hobby grower.
