Try these tips when your cannabis growing room gets too hot or humid!
Your cannabis doctor has recommended a particular cannabis strain and it is not possible for you to have access to it. You buy it from a dispensary at a higher cost and less amount. What better way than to grow the strain at your home for your treatment?
Are you already growing cannabis at your home? Then, you must experience challenging growing conditions- sometimes the growing environment can be either too hot or too humid.
The most important factors when it comes to growing cannabis plants are humidity and temperature. Controlling these two factors bring huge development in the quality and overall yield. These two are of primary importance, no matter where the cannabis plant is grown- indoors or outdoors.
Let us see how these important factors can be maintained, the problems associated with excesses, and when not enough.
Temperature and Humidity
Besides factors like availability of nutrients, watering cycles, growth medium, and amount of light, temperature, and humidity play a significant role in the growth and development of cannabis plants. If you want your plants to grow all desirable and strong buds along with increased yield, then the temperature and humidity need to be controlled and monitored.
Thus, every grower should have a hygrometer and a thermometer in order to monitor humidity and temperature within the cannabis growing area to ensure that neither of them is in excess.
Too Humid
Use hygrometers
You need to monitor your cannabis growing conditions. This is not the first step to take when you notice that the growing condition is too humid. Using a hygrometer is a precautionary step to be adopted beforehand to avoid too humid situations.
Ventilation
A cannabis grow area needs ventilation and airflow should not be underplayed. The humidity levels can be maintained if the ventilation is appropriate which makes the air flowing in and out of the cannabis grow area easier.
Fans
Fans are another way to control the humidity in the growing area. They maintain airflow within the area and ensure that hot and humid air can be replaced by the cool and fresh air.
Dehumidifiers
For closed spaces, dehumidifiers are the best answer to control the humidity of the cannabis growing air. They condense the air and remove the moisture build-up that might exist in the cannabis growing area.
Thermometers
Just like hygrometers, thermometers are only the precautionary method to control the temperature of the cannabis growing area.
Ventilation
Ventilation also helps in controlling the temperature of the growing area. This helps in replacing the hot and humid air with cool and fresh air.
Use Air conditioners
Air conditioners are the effective tools to lower down the temperature if it gets too overheated. It also promotes air circulation.
Lighting schedules
Maintain lighting schedules in order to control the humidity and temperature of the growing area. Use lights in the night so that the place cannot get overheated again.
Removal of heating equipment
Remove all the heating equipment from the cannabis growing areas in order to avoid overheating. For instance pumps, ballasts, and control boards.
