alternative ways to boost oxygen
    #23366787 - 06/21/16 12:52 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

I can keep the oxygen level at mid 400 ppm if I have up to 3 logs, more than that it becomes a challenge. Besides, outside air right now is way too hot to be supplied in large amount to fruiting chamber I think. That would be great too have an extra source of oxygen to lower it form 600s to 400s when there are too many logs in there.

So, do you know any ways to boost oxygen other than bringing outside air? Maybe some sort of aerator using smaller oxygen tank? Or maybe a water electrolysis or hydrogen peroxide catalyst device?   

Thank you!

This is why I prefer ground grows using a bucket or similar.
You can just water the casing, and mist the fruits.

Else hydrated air flow might sort you out.
A cheap air con setup may work.

Just draw outside air in and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

You need an a.c or swamp cooler, like grower said you need to be bringing in air from the outside, somehow. In the heat I find I have to have my FAE constant to keep temps where I need them, and adjust RH around that.

Was thinking the same thing.  Spider plants are quite efficient at cleaving the carbon off.

Won't help. The amount of oxygen such small plants give out is pretty insignificant, even if you have a lot of them.

And spider plants are good at absorbing pollutants from the air, not carbon dioxide. In fact, they are worse at absorbing carbon dioxide than other plants of a similar size, due to being slow-growing and having white portions on their leaves (the white has no chlorophyll, and thus does not photosynthesise, and thus does not absorb carbon dioxide). Fast-growing plants with lush green leaves will absorb the most carbon dioxide per unit volume, but it will still be far too inefficient for these purposes.
Ventilation really is the only sensible answer.
