Effects of Humidity on Marijuana

Experience Optimal Humidity Control with Hanging Farm’s MistGrow System

Cannabis plants, during their lifecycle, largely prefer lower humidity levels, except for the seedling stage. However, some strains can become susceptible to diseases and even succumb to drastic fluctuations in humidity. A robustly grown plant during the flowering stage can comfortably enjoy relative humidity levels of less than 30%.

Traditional indoor growing methods are limited in their ability to indefinitely increase the number of dehumidifiers. As a result, most commercial operations maintain a base humidity level below 50% during the flowering stage.

This is where Hanging Farm’s MistGrow system makes a difference. In our laboratory in Oakland, CA, the MistGrow system consistently kept peak daytime humidity below 45% and average daytime humidity below 40%, without the need for dehumidifiers. The resulting flowers were bountiful, packed with desirable trichomes. Even for those strains requiring additional humidity, the MistGrow system met these demands with far fewer dehumidifiers than the conventional commercial growing methods.

As a baseline requirement in the flowering room, we aim to keep the relative humidity below 60%. Lower humidity levels during flowering help in preventing mold formation. Lower temperatures can assist in maintaining an ideal Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD), especially during the second half of the flowering phase. High temperatures with low humidity can cause the plants to dry out too quickly, resulting in stress that negatively impacts the yield.
