[@scarsdog777]

Good lookin on the ac rigging.. that VPD stuff is misleading when humidity keeps it from transporting water that brings in nutrient. Know when that plant needs what’ it’s genetics require. Too much information without wisdom of how to use it and why is out of control. Know your regions and its traits it creates fat leaf vs skinny leaf is a good clue to needs. We detached from these natural processes that we got here with. We can provide an environment that adapts with us. It’s amazing when you see its place in evolution with nature has been connected. It’s allowed us to learn through our senses and keep developing with biological order. Kinda like taking kids from parents to be brainwashed and “educated” Can’t beat the sun and what it do though. All about the root foundation and photosynthesis of the light source for sure 💚! Know your roots and manipulate with respect to the balance necessary then it will handle the rest.

Great deep dive on one of the fundamental issues of rigging ( indoor growing) humidity- the environment. To be honest I think your viewers would benefit most on the MOST BASIC but hardest to actually learn function of them all . WATERING . how much ( in ratio to grow medium and pot size ) and more importantly WHEN to apply . For myself it was the single hardest thing to learn . Once I got it right ALL MY ISSUES ie " deficiencys " disappeared and I learned the sad reality that I was struggling so hard with feeding when it was overwatering/ underwatering at the core of the issues . Once i picked up the 10% rule ie no more than 10% of media volume per watering i never over watered again and it was a game changer . Just an idea tho,as usual love ya content but would also add when ur shooting plant shots etc with no voice overs play your jams ,your musical flavor ,like that kings kush short vid ,make it funky

[@superkoopatrooper4879]

I've been building PC's since I was 13 so I learned a few things about airflow. Oscillating fans are a bad idea, you want the air to flow like a fluid, thats how it naturally behaves. The fans will be fighting against each other, canceling out airflow an static pressure. The best fans are the inline 4 or 6inch duct booster fans. One ziptied to the right side pushing air up. And one on the left side pushing air down. This creates a vortex of sorts that doesnt stress the plants or damage leaves. You can get 4 of these fans for the price of standard grow tent fans and outperforms them to a significant margin.

[@carlderossi6497]

If your growing in a tent you have to keep the room optimal (not the tent ) with an air conditioner / dehumidifier combo with a carbon filter sucking the air out of the tent . This sucks the good room air into the tent and filters the smell , plus there's no rapid changes when opening the tent . Only that god loving face smack of terpenes . And when outdoors are optimal use a window fan and get that fresh air in that room . easy peezy :)

12:30 mount a wall flange to the Output of your AC unit and be sure to seal any leftover open space on the output. You could also use a reducer on an oversized duct flange that fits the AC unit better but that is gonna cost twice as much. As for the AC thermostat sensing when to turn on/off you will need an independent thermostat for inside the tent that will connect or disconnect power to your AC unit based on Tent Temp. Be sure that the Tent Thermostat power switch is capable of handling the current that your AC unit draws. I just bought an old school C.A.P. AIR-2 and this is how I control mine.

Thanks. Humidity and air flow go together. The stamata can also close because of too much air flow. To avoid loosing to much moisture. Air flow is key in my step up. I try to keep my humidity under 60%. But have a cold basement usually 60*F. I don't grow in basement in summer. Conditions don't allow. So I grow outdoors then. No a.c. or central air, or dehumidifier. My veg area is dialed in. My home made flower tent is getting there. It's 3x4 x2 ply wood walls up against brick wall and over lapped plastic door. Got a box fan leaning against wall running 24/7. Enough for 2 plants. Or a plant and 2 clones. I also flower an auto out in veg. To fill in between harvest.

[@brettgreen853]

I always felt 50% humidity was best for indoors. I grew from 1994-2014. I always had the best indoor crops in higher elevation where humidity was less as opposed to growing on the coast in Humboldt. When I got more experience(10 years) was I able to produce AAA ganja on the coast indoors. Always fighting bud rot, powder mildew, etc. The ventilation of an indoor room is the absolute number 1 variable, followed by room temp, followed by genetics, followed by grow watts, followed by flowering time(60-75days indoors. I saw so many premature crops it made your head spin. Obviously if an emergency came up and you had to pull at 49-56 days then so be it, but the longer the crop can go the better. Stretch it out), followed by correct grow medium per strain, followed by ph, followed by nutrients, and live microbes. Obviously this is my go to list and I tweaked it over the years, but all of these factors working in harmony will bless you with the best grow in the world. And yes, each person on the planet has the potential to grow the best ganja on the planet. In 1999 my friend in Manila grew the best Snow Bud in the world, in 2002 I grew the best Master Kush in the world, and the best Bubble-Jack in the world(Sagamartha Bubble berry X Sensi Jack Herer). It was a strain I bred that had about a two year life span until we lost the mother. 8 ounce indoor plants, that had 12 plants per 1000w. Best yielder, and best Smoke combo I ever created. I miss that strain. But anyone can grow the best, aim high, raise the vibe and you can do it. Thanks for the video.

[@weekendwarriorfishing6836]

Alright, so I’m thinking if you lower humidity to a certain point, you can force your plants to uptake more water which contains nutes. So you can force feed your plant?

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

Yes but that can lead to burn even if you’re not necessarily over feeding. Drawing greater volume of water per unit time can overload your plant tissues with nutes and prevent proper cooling at the leaf surface causing literal burns. That is nute burn in short. Now you can find the right balance between temp and humidity on a VPD chart and match that to optimize uptake at safe levels.

[@Caligreen]

By increasing transpiration, you may be able to increase the rate which water and nutrients are taken up by the plant, but……forcing transpiration by lowering humidity levels can also lead to stress on the plant. High transpiration rates can lead to increased water and nutrient uptake, but it can also lead to water stress. It's important to have a balance and provide the plant with the right environmental conditions to support healthy growth.

*ChatGPT claims:* Plants generally close their stomata when it's hot or dry. Stomata are small openings primarily found on the underside of leaves that allow for gas exchange (such as carbon dioxide uptake and oxygen release) and water vapor loss (transpiration). *Closing stomata helps plants conserve water* during periods of heat or dryness by reducing water loss through transpiration. When stomata are closed, however, it can also limit the uptake of carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis. This balance between water conservation and gas exchange is crucial for plants to survive varying environmental conditions.

Thank you. This grow I just started I've been using an ultrasonic humidifier with my tap water. Had the white powder on my fans and had no idea the cause. Thanks again! Distilled water it will be

@@kaseymasepohl9127 Nice! I'm looking at RO water systems. I'm a plumber so it won't be difficult to install but I'm shopping around still for a decent system. Thanks again for opening my eyes to this problem.

@@kaseymasepohl9127YW! I've used tap too and thought no biggie (I usually only used it when I ran out of 5 gal of distilled) but no more lol. Happy Learning and Gardening!

It depends on temp you gotta line up VPD bro

[@Caligreen]

Yeah, higher the temp- higher capacity for air to hold water. I was already side tracked , didn’t want to go into that. As far as VPD goes, just get your temp and humidity right and it all falls into place. Check a chart and you’ll see that the temps and humidity that everyone has been saying are the sweet spot, line up perfectly with your VPD chart.

I live in the high desert. In the summer with the window air conditioner running the room and the tent stay around 50 percent humidity. In the winter even when it is raining or snowing the room is heated with radiant heat and the humidity drops to 25 to 35 percent. I will have to use a humidifier.

its cool to see you're using hygrozyme products ive been using them for over a year now

[@rigsby1970]

Great informative vid. Will be making changes to my tent today....👌

[@Wesmancan]

I’m in Ohio. We have high humidity in the summer. I always thought it was over rated. Until I watched this. Thanks man.

Thanks for a great video!!!

[@mikemcnair2026]

If you have the problem of heat from the dehumidifier, consider running it hard on the dark cycle and off when the lights are on.

[@Caligreen]

That wouldn’t work. Plants primarily transpire during the day. Humidity can build up in a room pretty quickly

[@mikemcnair2026]

@@Caligreen I’m sure you’re right, my goal was to lower the humidity in my lung as low as possible during the dark hours to provide a buffer against the transpiration period in the day.

[@DonnelDelashley-le5jo]

Bro am from the Caribbean and just a fan I use because of the heat !!

[@BongTokez4Geezus]

literally just had this issue, and it was the last thing I checked how ironic. good video bubba.

Thanks for sharing. I need to know how to control humidity as in Australia it's around 70-80% humidity and it's hot!

I fight high humidity 80% of the time her in UK

[@Caligreen]

Is it also called in the UK? You’re probably dealing with a dehumidifier or air conditioner to bring down that humidity, right?

[@raygreenfinger]

Hmmmm I live in southern UK an only have humidity issues if I Don't pay attention to air in an out of the tent.

[@rogerrabbit4545]

The humidity in my state has been 80 to 98% these last four days and I've been able to control the humidity and get it to around 45 to 55% I have to open up all the tent doors and put a fan inside my head room for air movement. Dehumidifier is set to 35% and it keeps it 45 to 50 in the day in 55 as a high night time. If I didn't have a dehumidifier, it would be spiking to 95% humidity at night 😮

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

True if growing in tent. What if you have a sealed grow room, no air in, no air out. Also running CO2.

[@Caligreen]

This room was semi sealed at one point. I just had an extra recirculating exhaust set up and the intake would only come on once every few minutes. 100% sealed would probably need a co2 set up

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

@@Caligreen yup you right. I HATE humidifiers that are misting because you need either distilled water or crazy filtered good water or else you get white dust everywhere. I use a big aircare evaporative humidifier so that I can use tap water.

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

@@Caligreen you say your controllers are not all that however I think it is pretty good. Currently I run a 5 x 5 and a 2 x 4 all AC Infinity except my lights. I have a medic grow smart 8 and getting 1 more of these, then I have a viparspectra p1500 and a p2000 light. People bash on viparspectra but I had big buds running these lights. I am building a 8 x 15 flower room and a 5 x 10 mother/clone/propagation room. Dual co2 setup. Pretty much 2 each on all equipment

S.S.S. u can use R.O. zero water 0 ppm' s works wonders u can thank me later 😉

VPD!!! Is my Game🙌🙏

[@Caligreen]

If you look at the VPD charts and compare them with the temps and humidity that everyone talks about being optimal, you’ll find that they are mostly the same.

[@ninjackson1]

True story brother, BTW love your content Hank! Living soil all day everyday 🙌🙏

[@scotties2847]

Thanks hanks very informative

[@chapsteronetime2000]

A window unit works perfectly set upon outside temp and what time year it is you’ll have to combine inside air w outside air but once I started a ac window unit oh lord, have your ac infinity set watching etc. and at the end bam 60-65 once drying 9-11 days easy peasy stuff. I used to crank it down last week flower to 65 regardless but goodluck out there takes some fiddling but once mastered watch out
