Humidity control is a key focus of current indoor cannabis cultivation, and humidity is one of the important factors determining the success of cannabis cultivation. Every biological system needs to operate within a specific humidity range, and marijuana is no exception. Different growth stages require different levels of humidity in marijuana. Therefore, controlling humidity to maintain it within an appropriate range is crucial for the healthy growth of marijuana.
Excessive humidity can create an environment that provides opportunities for mold and other diseases to thrive. For example, Powdery mildew and gray mold are common problems in cannabis cultivation, and these two diseases are prone to occur in high humidity environments. They can affect the growth of cannabis and may even lead to the death of the entire crop. In addition, too high humidity will also lead to the inability to evaporate the water in the hemp flowers, reducing the active ingredients in the flowers, thereby reducing the quality and yield of hemp.
On the other hand, low humidity can also have a negative impact on the growth of cannabis. Low humidity can cause marijuana plants to lose water, resulting in stunted growth. The leaves of marijuana plants may appear curly or scorched, affecting their photosynthesis and thus affecting the growth and yield of marijuana.
Therefore, it is very important to use Dehumidifier to control the humidity of cannabis cultivation environment. The Dehumidifier can accurately control the humidity according to the growth stage and environmental conditions of cannabis to keep it within the appropriate range. By maintaining appropriate humidity, the Dehumidifier can not only help prevent mold and disease, but also ensure the healthy growth of cannabis, improve its quality and yield.
1.1 Special requirements for humidity in cannabis
The growth process of cannabis can be roughly divided into four stages: seed germination stage, vegetative stage (also known as growth stage), flowering stage, and mature stage. In these four stages, the demand for humidity in cannabis varies, and reasonable humidity control plays a crucial role in optimizing its growth environment and increasing yield.
1. Seed germination period: This is the starting point of hemp life, and the humidity requirement is quite high. Generally, it needs to be maintained in the humidity range of 70% -90%. This is because at this stage, seeds need to absorb a large amount of water to stimulate vitality and begin to sprout.
Selection of Dehumidifier: at this stage, the humidity requirement is very high, so it is recommended to select a Dehumidifier that can provide high humidity control capability. Industrial Dehumidifier with strong dehumidification capability is a good choice.
2. Vegetative stage (growth stage): After the successful germination of cannabis seeds, they enter the growth stage. The required humidity during this stage is still relatively high, but slightly lower than the germination stage, usually around 60% -70%. Such humidity conditions are conducive to the growth of the stems and leaves of cannabis plants.
Selection of Dehumidifier: at this stage, the humidity requirement is relatively high, but it is slightly lower than the seed germination stage. You can choose commercial or household Dehumidifier suitable for medium humidity control.
3. Flowering period: As cannabis enters the flowering period, its demand for humidity will decrease. The humidity at this stage should generally be maintained at 40% -50%. High humidity may cause marijuana flowers to mold easily, affecting the yield and quality.
Selection of Dehumidifier: the requirement for humidity in flowering period is low, so household Dehumidifier or small commercial Dehumidifier can be selected. Ensure that the Dehumidifier can carry out stable humidity control within this humidity range.
4. Maturity period: After hemp enters the maturity period, the demand for humidity further decreases, and should generally be maintained at 30% -40%. Moderate drying contributes to the maturation of hemp flowers and further increases the content of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, a major active ingredient).
Selection of Dehumidifier: in the mature period, the demand for humidity of cannabis is further reduced. Small commercial or household Dehumidifier can be selected to ensure stable maintenance of low humidity level.
In addition, in addition to the type and selection of Dehumidifier, the following factors need to be considered:
Air outlet and air volume of Dehumidifier:
Ensure that the air outlet of the Dehumidifier can cover around the hemp plant to promote air circulation and uniform distribution of humidity. The air volume shall be adjusted according to the size of the planting shed and the number of cannabis plants to ensure that the humidity in the air can be treated by the Dehumidifier in time.
Matching of dehumidification capacity:
The dehumidification amount of a dehumidifier should be determined based on the size of the planting shed, the number of plants, and the expected humidity control needs. Ensure that the dehumidification capacity of the Dehumidifier is sufficient to meet the humidity removal requirements in the air of the planting shed.
Number of Dehumidifier required for hemp cultivation shed:
According to the size of the planting shed, the number of plants and the humidity control requirements, multiple Dehumidifier may be required to cover the entire space and ensure that the humidity is effectively controlled.
Therefore, the changes in humidity demand at different growth stages reflect the adaptability of cannabis to the environment. Appropriate humidity control is one of the key factors to ensure the healthy growth, yield, and quality of cannabis.
2.1 Role of Dehumidifier in humidity control
During the cultivation process of cannabis, humidity control is crucial. Excessive humidity can easily cause diseases, while low humidity can affect the growth of cannabis. Therefore, the humidity of the planting environment needs to be precisely regulated according to the growth stage of cannabis. This is where the Dehumidifier comes into play.
Dehumidifier is a device that can remove moisture from the air and reduce ambient humidity. It can maintain environmental humidity within a set range through the process of moisture absorption and dehumidification. For cannabis cultivation, the Dehumidifier can not only provide a stable humidity environment to meet the needs of different growth stages of cannabis, but also prevent diseases caused by high humidity. As mentioned earlier, cannabis has different requirements for humidity at different growth stages. During the germination and growth stages, cannabis requires high humidity, while during the flowering and maturity stages, humidity should be appropriately reduced. By using a Dehumidifier, growers can accurately control the ambient humidity and provide the best environment for the growth of cannabis.
The working principle of the Dehumidifier is to remove moisture from the air by condensation or adsorption. In this process, the Dehumidifier can accurately control the humidity to keep it within the set range, thus providing an ideal environment for the growth of cannabis. In an environment with appropriate humidity, marijuana’s nutrient absorption will be more effective, thereby promoting its growth. Therefore, the Dehumidifier plays a very important role in the cultivation of cannabis. It can provide an ideal environment for the growth of cannabis and effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases by accurately controlling the environmental humidity. It is an indispensable equipment in the cultivation of cannabis.
