VPD and Humidity ControlEnvironmental Tips

VPD and Humidity Control in Cannabis Cultivation
Why I Treat VPD and Humidity Control as One System I used to manage my room by chasing a single number on a hygrometer. If relative humidity looked “right,” I assumed the plants would follow. In reality, my cannabis, marijuana, and weed crops kept giving me mixed signals: fast drybacks one week, slow uptake the next, and occasional leaf-edge burn that I blamed on nutrients. The fix was not a new bottle or a new light. It was learning VPD and Humidity …

Plant Leaf Curling Issues
I still remember the first time I saw a healthy-looking cannabis canopy go sideways overnight. The plants were in mid-veg, leaves were broad and glossy, and I felt like I finally understood my room. Then I walked in at lights-on and half the tops were curled like little tacos.

My basement tent ran cooler than the guides assumed. My greenhouse hit heat spikes that no indoor chart accounted for. Outdoors, the breeze in one corner kept plants healthier than the “better” sunny spot that stayed …

I pay attention because weeds tell me what my soil is doing, what my drainage looks like, and what pests are waking up. Those things matter when I am raising cannabis, marijuana, and weed plants for a full season outdoors. The first weed that reliably shows up in my yard is purple dead nettle, and it is the one that taught …

Plant Growth Regulators in Cannabis and Agriculture
Why I started paying attention to Plant Growth Regulators The first time I heard growers argue about Plant Growth Regulators, it was in the most practical setting possible: a trimming table. One pile of cannabis looked picture-perfect—tight buds, short spacing, and a uniform “golf ball” shape. Another pile from the same week smelled louder, burned cleaner, and cured better, but the flowers were a little airier. That contrast pushed me to learn what Plant Growth Regulators actually are, why agriculture uses …
