Indoor grow rooms have become increasingly popular, mainly due to the growth of vertical farming and hydroponic systems. These farming methods have been used to combat the challenges of limited farmland and contaminated soil. Businesses and companies can cultivate fresh and healthy food in urban locations by converting unused factories, storage facilities, or shipping containers into multi-story gardens.
Maintaining ideal climate conditions is essential for the success of plant growth and maximizing yields in indoor farming environments. At the same time, outdoor farming benefits from favorable natural climate conditions, and controlling the indoor environment becomes more challenging. Factors such as lighting, temperature, and humidity need to be carefully regulated to simulate optimal growing conditions throughout the different stages of plant growth.
Humidity is a crucial factor significantly impacting plant growth in indoor grow rooms. Maintaining a controlled humidity level ensures healthy plant development and prevents mold infestation. However, different phases of plant growth require specific humidity conditions.
During germination and propagation, plants thrive in a relatively high-humidity environment of about 70 to 80% relative humidity (RH). This moisture enables the development of strong roots, as cuttings draw water from the air through their leaves.
As the plants progress to the growth phase, the humidity requirement decreases to around 50 to 80% RH as water consumption shifts to the developing root system. In the flowering phase, it is crucial to maintain a lower humidity level of 40 to 60% RH to minimize the risk of mold on the dense leaves and blossoms.
A reliable dehumidification solution ensures maximum high-quality harvest and prevents costly crop failures. We have dehumidification solutions designed to provide the yield and quality of indoor crop cultivation in agricultural facilities. AlorAir’s dehumidifiers are durable, highly performant, energy-efficient, low-temperature reliable, and scalable, making them the perfect solution for any indoor farm, grow tent, or repurposed shipping container. These dehumidifiers ensure overall success in improving plant health, productivity, and the operation of the grow room.
