Climate

Indoor cultivation requires very tight environmental control to maximize product quality and yield. To effectively control the indoor environment, both temperature and humidity levels must be addressed.

Humidity control is crucial in a grow room. That’s true whether you’re starting seedlings, rooting cuttings, or drying. When humidity rises above 60%, you can experience mold, mildew, and other unwanted biological growth. Plus, high humidity can prevent plants from properly taking in CO2, which limits photosynthesis and growth. Now’s the time to figure out your Vapor Pressure Deficit. What is VPD? The Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is essentially a measurement of the air’s ability to absorb moisture, which is related to your plants’ ability to absorb and let out moisture. Of course, these are critical for the proper growth…

Humidity is a fickle beast – one that has thwarted even the most skilled of indoor cannabis growers.

Use these grow room climate do’s and don’ts to help guide business success in the cannabis industry.
