Take The Vpd Poll. How Important Is It?

[mittenmedgrow]

I was just making a little joke there. I run 80 to 85f, 70 to 75% with anywhere between 1000 and 1200ppm co2 in veg through the second week of flowering then start to reduce temp humidity and co2. by fourth week running 72 to 75 degrees about 50% humidity and around 600 ppm co2. I grew indoors for quite a few years before the internet came around and never even heard of vpd until I started lurking on the farm back in 08. I think that you would have to be pretty far out of wack for vpd to really come into play. Plants will grow happy and healthy in a pretty big range of temps and humidity.

Today my flower tent is 83*f and a rh of 32%.
I would raise humidity if I could , but that's not an option for me.
I would love to do a side by side.

My side by side in my veg room tells the truth.

Vpd I would never spray that shit on my plants, sounds toxic.

Lol

Hmmm ok.
So I need to fix my vpd? Because I am way off. View attachment 550987
This must be a fluke then....View attachment 550985

Haha that's funny bro I don't think that's a fluke that's skills! But do you think because that meter is on top of the warm light the humdity may be higher where the plant tops are? Maybe?

The humidity is constant throughout the whole house and at all levels in the tent. But that spot is the hottest spot in the tent. I think I get a few crispy leaves because of low rh, high airflow, and because I push the nutes towards middle of flower.

As far as it being skill, man I don't know, I think I just get lucky. Lol

I know my gardens environment is not perfect. It's too hot and too arid. But it IS consistent, which is important. For me, I select phenos that thrive in what I have provided. A few of the shops I've vended to have said the same thing, "you have very frosty buds compared to others". It might be a result of my low rh.
But I do tend to believe the cannabis plant can adapt to the environment it's born into.

This is an immature flower, picked around day 50 and quick dried in my low rh. But it is something special.

Ran across this article this morning,these guys are using humidity levels (35-40%)to ward of pests and contaminants so they can pass state of washington lab tests.

Well said, ShroomKing.

Science the shit outta weed..

If it looks dank, smells dank, smokes dank...must be.

Ive seen users claim vpd parameters were why a new users plants were showing deficiency, in the infirmary threads.

Is this even possible?

Absolutely yes... Your plants can get to the point where they will not transpire any nutrients or water... And essentially lockout.

No offense, but it does seem a bit dry.

That would be cool.

I think if anything, it is better to be too dry, than too humid... with respect to mold, fungus, and bud rot.

Humidity is the last factor that I try to manipulate. Temperature, co2 levels, and air movement are what I rank as top 3.

Adding humidity to the dry SoCal air using RO water and humidifiers is not easy. Your humidifiers will be running the whole time during the light cycle.

Not to mention its a pain in the ass,more equipment,RO water to not make a mess on your lamps or glass etc.
