How Important is Humidity?

Introduction
If you want to grow sticky, high-potency buds, your cannabis will demand attention to its many needs.
One need of the growing
cannabis plant – that is commonly overlooked – is humidity.
Believe it or not, humidity is actually very important to your plant! Humidity will help determine your plants resilience against mold/mildew in addition to how much your plants need to drink. Getting it just right can improve plant growth and increase your yields.
Luckily, there isn’t much to learn, so you can be
the master of humidity in your grow with very little effort! Today we will give you the information you need to have complete mastery over humidity and thus, give your plants a boost in production. Why Humidity Matters To
YOU In all stages of cannabis growth your plants will have a constant need to intake water, and the amount of water they need fluctuates with the humidity in your grow room. When the humidity is high, cannabis plants use their leaves to
absorb moisture from the air which causes them to drink less water from their roots. Conversely, when the humidity is low, they will pull more water in through their roots.
Since humidity changes how much water your plants drink, and the water you give your plants have nutrients in them, being in control of humidity gives you increased control over your plant’s nutrient intake.
But
controlling humidity isn’t just about prevention…having the right humidity encourages strong, healthy, leafy plants with vigorous growth. In fact, growing with DWC (Deep Water Culture) / Bubbleponics during vegetation with the correct humidity and growing environment can actually turn into a struggle to tame out-of-control plant growth!
Additionally, after your plants start making buds in the flowering stage and get close to harvest, you can manipulate the humidity of your grow area to get your plants to produce
more resin (trichomes/glitter which contain THC and other cannabinoids) while preventing buds from being attacked by mold. High humidity can sometimes cause mold or bud rot – a grower’s
worst nightmare for those fat, dense main colas. Effects of Poor Humidity Management
We’re not out to scare you, but you should know what happens to a grow room with poor humidity
management. We know how important humidity is because we’ve experienced every one of these problems firsthand!
White Powdery Mildew
- White Powdery Mildew is a fungal disease that will
shows up high humidity environments. This can be tricky since young cannabis plants flourish in humid environments. Luckily, you can stave off WPM by making sure there is proper airflow in your grow area; a small oscillating fan – even on the low setting – works wonders.
Bud Mold or Rot
- Bud rot or mold is – in my opinion – one of the worst pains a grower can experience as a result of poor humidity management. Imagine harvesting a huge, dense main cola from your plant only to see the insides are totally white or brown with mold. Buds in this condition are unusable and 100% should be thrown away.

Nutrient Problems
- Humidity is a factor that partly determines how much your plants will drink. If the air is dry, your plants will tend to drink more
at their roots. If they’re already drinking more due to high temperatures, low humidity can cause them to drink a lot of water through their roots and uptake too-high levels of nutrients. If your plant takes in more nutrients than the plant can use, the leaves will begin to show yellow or burnt tips, which is the result of nutrient burn.
Sometimes too-low humidity can cause other apparent nutrient problems.
Slowed Growth
- Cannabis plants tend to like somewhat higher humidity when they’re young, and lower humidity as they get older. To be frank, if they’re
not getting these conditions, they may not be growing nearly as fast or healthy as they could.
How Important Are Nutrients? |
Today you learned about how humidity affects your plants and discovered some of the best tools to control humidity. But one might argue that the nutrients you use
have an even bigger effect on your plants than humidity!
Which nutrients work for cannabis, and which ones don't? What are the optimum nutrient ratios for each stage of life?

Great site plenty of good advice. Our government just passed legislation legalizing marijuana tonight. I've been waiting 50 years to legally grow my own. Can't wait

Congrats to all our Canadian readers! Canada just became the second nation in the world to legalize cannabis for adults. Soon, adults in Canada
will be allowed to carry and share up to 30 grams of cannabis in public. They also will be allowed to grow up to 4 plants at home and prepare products such as edibles for personal use. There are still rules when it comes to purchasing cannabis, but this is so incredibly exciting! Come on Rest of the World! ~Nebula |
