Mauritius Growing Tips
Placement: Keep tent away from direct sunlight windows. Our tropical climate means external heat can affect tent temps.
Ventilation: Essential in Mauritius. Run inline fan 24/7 during hot months to manage humidity and heat.
Cyclone Season: Indoor tents protect your plants from Jan-Mar storms. Secure tent during high winds.
Power: Use surge protector. Consider UPS for light timers during power cuts.

Based on scientific growing guidelines (600-700 PPFD per plant for optimal growth):
The Science Behind Controlled Environment Growing
Light (Photosynthesis)
Plants convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. LED grow lights provide the optimal spectrum (400-700nm PAR range) that plants need.
Optimal DLI (Daily Light Integral):
- • Leafy greens: 12-16 mol/m²/day
- • Herbs: 14-18 mol/m²/day
- • Fruiting plants: 20-40 mol/m²/day
Air Circulation
Proper ventilation removes heat, controls humidity, and delivers fresh CO₂ for photosynthesis while strengthening stems through gentle movement.
Target Air Exchange:
- • Complete air change every 1-3 minutes
- • CO₂ levels: 400-1200 ppm
- • Gentle breeze strengthens plants
Temperature Control
Temperature affects enzyme activity, nutrient uptake, and transpiration. A controlled environment ensures optimal metabolic function.
Ideal Temperature Ranges:
- • Day: 22-28°C (72-82°F)
- • Night: 18-22°C (64-72°F)
- • 5-10°C drop at night optimal
Humidity & VPD
Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is the difference between moisture in the air and moisture in the plant, driving transpiration and nutrient uptake.
Target Humidity Levels:
- • Seedlings: 65-80% RH
- • Vegetative: 55-70% RH
- • Flowering: 40-55% RH
