Scrubbers: Cleaning the Air in Hydroponics

About this episode

Welcome to another episode of Hydroponics Daily with Dr. Russell Sharp. Today, we delve into the intriguing world of chemical scrubbers in horticulture. Discover the essential role these scrubbers play in removing harmful ethylene gas, a plant hormone with potential negative effects on crops like tomatoes, which may lead to wilting and leaf drop.

Learn about the process of using potassium permanganate solutions to cleanse the air in greenhouses, and explore alternative methods to control ethylene levels. Dr. Sharp also discusses which crops benefit from these scrubbers and advises growers on when not to use them, especially in plants like hops and cannabis.

Whether you're using CO2 enrichment burners or interested in maintaining the perfect greenhouse environment, this episode offers valuable insights into enhancing your hydroponic practices for healthier, happier plants.
