Humidity control for indoor growing
Plants only grow successfully if the humidity of your grow room is in order. This means humidity affects the yield of your plants. By regulating the amount of the water vapor in the air, you also make sure that mold and mildew do not stand a chance.
What does humidity do?
Plants evaporate water in order to cool themselves and to discharge waste. Humidity impacts the amount of water plants can evaporate through their leaves. If the humidity is too high at a low temperature, plants cannot get rid of their water vapor. This stops the evaporation process. If this is the case, plant roots can no longer take on new nutrients as there is no room for them. Therefore, you should always use a good ventilation system when growing indoors. This helps discharge the warm, humid air and promotes the supply of fresh air.If the humidity is too low at a high temperature, plants evaporate too much water instead. They will try to make up for this loss by absorbing more water with their roots. This means they also receive more nutrients and may lead to what is called a nutrient burn. A nutrient burn first leads to burned leaf tips and may end with dying flowers and withered leaves.
