Humidity Control

Plants are constantly taking in water to absorb nutrients and grow to their full potential. Both temperature and humidity can affect how much water your plants take in, so that controlling these levels also gives you control over the plants’ nutrient intake. Humidity levels are important in indoor growing since humidity affects plants' transpiration and their ability to absorb nutrients. Poor levels can also create an environment ripe for disease and pests. Early stages of growing require higher humidity levels than the rest of the growing cycle. It’s common to add a humidifier to grow spaces during the early germination or clone growing stage, while a dehumidifier may be required later in the growing process.
