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. Early grow rooms had a handful of issues with dedicated A/C and dehumidification, specifically during the lights off period because they were using single-stage A/C which is sized for the ...

In an ever-changing industry, the classic ways of sizing for dehumidification are coming into question. This is because grow room equipment systems such as lighting and temperature continue to evolve. HVAC manufacturers are making claims about dehumidification. Lighting companies are developing lighting that produces less heat. Cultivators are running their rooms at lower temperatures and lower relative humidity. There is not anything inherently wrong with developing more efficient systems in an attempt to save energy – after all, electricity is a major expense for every cultivator. However, within these efforts, we are seeing rooms that are undersized for cooling loads… Read More
Investing money in quality equipment is important – but at the end of the day, the equipment in your facility is only as good as its installation. With a small investment in time and consideration, a facility can increase its productivity profoundly. Read More
Properly planning and designing a drying room is one of the least considered and most important parts of any cultivation facility. It is important to provide stability when designing a drying room. This promotes an ideal environment and allows for the gradual release of moisture from the flowers. The key components to control are air circulation, temperature, light (or a lack there of), and humidity. Moisture Removal Patience is one of the most critical factor in the drying process. Moisture needs to be removed, but not aggressively. The whole process of drying is best done on average over a… Read More
When building out your grow room, it’s important to know what your plants and space require. Here, we focus on climate control and humidity. If you want serious yields and reliable results, you can’t rely on a stand-alone dehumidifier. Like the kind you might find at a hardware store. You need a grow room dehumidifier that’s built for industrial performance with components that keep you ahead of the growing curve. You need a dehumidifier that’s optimized for growth. Choosing A Dehumidifier So what does it mean to be grow-optimized? Just ask one of Anden’s experts. “We’ve built units from the… Read More
When it comes to growing, air movement is a must. That’s why you’ll see lots of big, powerful fans inside most grow rooms. They help mix the air to avoid hot spots, cold spots, humidity ranges, and other inconsistencies. “Cubic Feet per Minute” (CFM) tells you how much air a piece of equipment can move. Industrial Dehumidifiers Airflow is also critical for humidity control, because a dehumidifier can only remove moisture from the air that passes through it. So the size and efficiency of a dehumidifier’s fan can determine how well it operates in your grow room. Anden dehumidifiers are… Read More
