Understanding Indoor Air Quality Indoor air quality (IAQ) is just a fancy way of talking about how good or bad the air is inside your home or building. Lots of things affect it - how well your place is ventilated, what kind of filtration you've got, and what pollutants are floating around. Having decent IAQ isn't just a nice-to-have - it's pretty crucial for staying healthy.

How to Optimize Indoor Humidity for a Healthier Business Environment

Whether starting from seedlings or clones, the biggest thing affecting a young cannabis plant’s growth is the room’s climate. In the first couple of weeks, plants need steady temperatures between 70 and 80-degrees Fahrenheit with Relative Humidity (RH) around 65-70%. For most, getting humidity and temperature lower is a daily challenge, but young plants need higher numbers to promote vigorous growth. When the plants are freshly propagated they don’t have roots yet to bring in enough water to support themselves so they rely on the air’s RH to both provide water and create external pressure that acts as a sort of seal for locking moisture in the leaves. Once the roots begin to develop, humidity is gradually lowered telling the plant to search for water with additional root growth.

The importance of controlling a grow room’s climate can’t be stressed enough. This is true for every indoor garden, from the garage-scale operation to the largest of warehouses. Since nobody in their right mind goes into production seeking to grow low-quality flowers, we’ll assume you’ve invested in proper lights, ventilation, dehumidifiers, and AC units. However, what gets lost in the mix sometimes is a controlled way to introduce humidity into a space. For a more precise solution, explore our commercial grow‑room humidifiers that are designed to maintain optimal RH in cannabis grow spaces.

Now that you’ve landed your marijuana cultivation license, it’s time to build your commercial grow room into the well-THC-oiled machine that it can be. But before you begin construction, the first thing you’ll want to do is make a detailed plan that covers any and every contingency with a thoughtful approach toward space and efficiency. This may seem obvious, but you might be surprised how many go into a commercial setup thinking of it as being no more than just an expanded garage operation. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially once investors are involved. Where the grower may be thinking about it as ‘pound per grow-light,’ the investor is looking at it as ‘grams per wattage per square foot.’ And as a rule, the money always wins. But take heart, planning for efficiency from the onset has the added benefit of increased profits and long-term operational strength due to running lean and being streamlined from the very beginning. With that in mind, here are 5 often-overlooked things you should consider when designing and building your grow space:

As a grower, it may feel like you’re constantly battling to get the humidity down to protect your fattening buds from powdery mildew and botrytis. But don’t forget about the needs of your seedlings or cuttings. They need nearly double the humidity levels of their flowering counterparts. Plants at different growth stages have completely different humidity needs. For the first four weeks or so, young plants need upwards of 65-70% humidity for vigorous growth. This extra humidity is needed because root systems have not fully developed yet, so most of their water is absorbed through the leaves.

For many first-time growers, humidity is a complete mystery. With things like temperature, ventilation and nutrient levels occupying all their time, the importance of humidity gets lost in the mix. But what if I told you that understanding and controlling humidity at the right stages of plant development would improve potency, flavor, density and overall yields? Interested? Of course you are!  Humidity is the key to next-level grower status and we’re going to teach you all about it right here.

Dry skin, stuffy noses, scratchy throats, chapped lips, and nose bleeds can all be a result of the cold winter air. It’s no secret that winter air contains less moisture, and since it can dry out your skin and mucous membranes, it can lead to these uncomfortable symptoms.

As soon as cold weather sets in, it happens. Stuffy heads, fevers, coughing … ugh! Fall and winter are officially cold and flu season because it is this time of year when the vast majority of people end up sick.

Scratchy throat, coughing, dry eyes, flaky scalp. As soon as the weather outside turns cold and the heat goes on, these annoying side effects start to wreak havoc. Winter air holds less moisture. Combine that with forced air heat and it can be especially drying to skin, lips, sinuses, scalp and hair.  Dry air can cause excess static electricity, which is not good for computers, laptops or handheld devices. Dry air can also trigger dust and pet allergies or asthma attacks as dry air makes it easier for harmful contaminants to stay airborne. Dry air can also cause damage to wood floors, furniture and other valuables including antiques and musical instruments.
