Humidity is vital to the growing process, but it needs to be balanced. Too much humidity can cause disease and invite pests. Too little humidity can slow photosynthesis and plant growth, leading to reduced yield. Also, it is important that humidity is balanced throughout a greenhouse, so all plants are in a healthy growing environment.

Hot temperatures can cause serious problems in indoor growing facilities. Too much heat can inhibit photosynthesis, which leads to slower growth rates. It can also speed up evaporation in soil and in plants, which can constrain nutrient uptake and lead to root and foliage damage. Finally, hot temperatures also invite disease and pests.

It is vitally important, with the general humidity range for indoor cultivation between 60% and 75% for all growth stages. If humidity drops much below 50%, plants close their stomata, which slows the photosynthetic process. This leads to stress, slower growth rates, and compromised yield. If humidity is over 80%, a higher risk of fungal, bacterial, and viral infections exists. Humidity control also plays a significant role in managing vapor pressure deficit (VPD), the concept that measures the variance in pressure between the humidity inside and outside of a leaf. Clone rooms and grow rooms will thrive when VPD is properly managed.

Yes, employing high-pressure fogging techniques with automated program controls can eliminate cannabis odors effectively, which is vital because most states that allow cannabis cultivation and production on a larger scale have created legislation that prevents these facilities from venting untreated air. The process involves operating a Koolfog system to produce micron-sized water droplets, which are distributed at the exhaust side of a cannabis greenhouse or indoor grow facility. When combined with odor neutralizers, cannabis odors are trapped and dismantled.

Yes, a fogging system can produce a dense fog with billions of micron-sized water droplets that can completely penetrate a flowering canopy, reaching into the furthest crevices. IPM agents, such as such hydrogen peroxide-based additives or various essential oil blends, can be infused directly into the fog on a schedule to eliminate cannabis pests.
