Growing Elite Marijuana

convenient means gardeners use to
provide an air stream to all sections of the
garden. A draft which is too strong can be
buffered against a wall so that the current
reaches the garden indirectly.
Marijuana functions best at a humidity
of 40-65%. Higher humidity causes
problems in two ways. First, fungi which
attack marijuana become active at higher
humidities. They affect all parts of the plant,
but especially the buds, which contain
moisture holding crevices, are dark and
have little air movement. The other problem
with high humidity is that plants have a hard
time dissipating water transpired by the
stomata (plant pores).
The humidity level is a measure of how
saturated the air is with moisture. That is,
how much water the air is holding as a
percentage of its water holding potential.
The warmer the air the more moisture it can
absorb, so that when the temperature rises
the air becomes less saturated and the
humidity goes down, even though the same
amount of water is dissolved in the air. The
reverse happens when the temperature
declines. The same amount of water may
be in the air, but the airs water holding
capacity is lower so the humidity rises.
There are several ways to maintain the
proper temperature and humidity. The
easiest method gardeners use to rid a
space of excess heat or moisture is to vent
the space. Small spaces such as a closet
or shelf are easily vented into the room
because of the large surface area in
contact with the general space. Room
temperature and humidity conditions are
