De-humidification is often over looked, the majority of gardeners believing their extraction system can handle any excess humidity, which is not always the case, even in circumstances where it can, the extraction system will be removing the desired heat which in turn causes a knock on effect to the potential yield of your plants. Utilising the correct de-humidification equipment and extraction for handling the heat will provide the grower with the tools required to achieve the all important VPD (Vapour Pressure Deffecit) parameters for your crop to flourish.
With the ever increasing development of LED grow light technology the transition of growers using them for the huge benefits is becoming the norm, the down side to LED growing is the lack of excess intense heat production which burns off humidity in the growing environment causing high RH values extarction systems struggle to cope with, prevention is better than the cure the correct de-humidification equipment will help irradicate the potential for moulds & mildew pathogens to breed causing a severly damaged yield.
