Image of a green door to the E8 Growth Chamber

All E8s are equipped with Conviron CMP5000 series controllers. Data logging is available for environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity).

Growth Area: 0.74 m2 (8 ft2)

Growth Height: 116 cm (46")

Growth Capacity: 900L (32 ft3)

Temperature Range:

  • Lights OFF 4 - 45C
  • Lights ON 10 - 45C

Combination of T12 fluorescent and incandescent lamps. Light levels depend on distance of plant canopy from the lamps, the age of the lamps, and the temperature in the chamber. An independent light sensor is available from the Coordinators if you wish to check your light levels during an experiment.

Relative Humidity: Additive humidity is available, but temperature dependent. Consult with Phytotron Coordinators.

Five E8s are available in the Phytotron. Two of the five have extended growth heights.
