Honestly I settled on vpd for my environment setting simply for ease of how I am running my tents. I vent my flower tent into the veg tent and exhaust that out of filter exhausted out a window. I was planning on touching more about my depression, how I grow and my setup more in depth, but @3cats opened up perhaps the need for it.Yep, watch your plants, they talk a lot if you’re a good listener hahahahaha.
I’ve just found all of these other metrics that are applied nowadays not applicable to when and how I grow. If you can create and maintain a proper microclimate all that other stuff shouldn’t matter you know?
Sure high rh is great for cuttings, but I’ve rooted them without domes in all types of environments for years. You really gotta be fucking up to get indoor stem rot.
Since I am exhausting both tents out of 1, I have my fan set at a constant draw. I set my humidifiers to vpd to allow proper humidity to be maintained as lights go on and off. I found using just rh% settings to leave the tents playing catch up.
From my research, and everyone has an opinion or info they learned along the way, but as long as the root zone is above 65F you're good. Yes, they will grow faster in a warmer environment, but right now is the coldest my apartment gets and there is a 7-8F temp difference between the seasons, this being the coldest.
I appreciate advice, but if I offer my explanation on why I am doing it, i dont see why it should become pissing match?
Growing is therapy for me, I love learning from the plants and the science behind it. But ultimately, like you said @Captspaulding , listen to the plants, VPD was just the easiest way to setup my environment so I could
Happy growing everyone
