Climate control in marijuana crops

Climate control is one of the most important aspects when growing cannabis, therefore the use of the right tools is essential to avoid problems caused by extreme temperatures. Plants are very sensitive to heat and cold, so to get a happy harvesting it is important to take care of temperature and humidity.

The use of climate control tools helps growers to facilitate the plant's photosynthesis, a fundamental process for plant development. In general, Cannabis plants and the process of photosynthesis are best adapted to temperatures between 24°C and 30°C during the daytime, while at night, plants usually prefer lower temperatures, around 18°C.

In addition to temperature, climate control requires constant monitoring of the air's relative humidity. Cannabis plants need a humid environment to develop. However, excess humidity can have negative consequences such as the appearance of fungus and mould. The relative humidity within a Cannabis crop should be around 50% to 70%, to encourage optimal plant growth and bloom.

Climate measurement tools

A hygrometer is the best ally for growers who wish to have the humidity under control. This control measurement tool reports the relative humidity inside a grow room, and can be hung inside it for constant climate control.

The main climate measurement tool for growing plants is the thermohygrometer. It is a simple device that tell us the temperature and relative humidity inside the grow room. It is a two-in-one device that makes things easier for the grower, as he only has to keep an eye on one appliance.

The thermostat is also another element belonging to the climate controllers that are very useful within an indoor cultivation. In this way, these devices have the ability to turn on and off the electrical equipment, depending on the temperature inside the cabinet.

At Experiencia Natural there is an excellent selection of materials designed for constant climate control. Starting with the SOPAC thermostat, this device measures the temperature of the growing room and turns the electrical equipment on or off depending on it. This allows an optimal growing temperature to be regulated and, when it is exceeded, the thermostat can turn on more extractors or air conditioners to lower the temperature.

The thermo-hygrometer with a probe is also available, which allows the humidity and temperature of the grow room to be monitored without having to enter in it. To do this, it has an external probe that is placed at plant height and is connected to the main device that can be housed outside the cabinet. Furthermore, this product does not need calibration, so it is ready to be switched on and used.

The last object to be highlighted within the climate measurement section is the digital thermo-hygrometer. This has a very convenient display that directly indicates the humidity and temperature values within the crop. To use it, it must be inserted in the grow room and activated until it shows the temperature and humidity values.

When a grower is considering establishing an indoor crop, in addition to worrying about the type of seeds, substrate and lighting, he must also pay close attention to climate control, so that the crop develops perfectly and there are no environmental problems.

At Experiencia Natural we have the best digital and analogue thermometers, hygrometers and thermohygrometers on the market, ready to use and with all the guarantees of quality and durability.
