Temperature and Humidity Control

Why Measure Temperature and Humidity?

Just like people, weed feels most comfortable when the temperature and humidity levels aren’t too low or too high. It grows best when it’s between 68 and 77 degrees F and between 40 to 70% humidity. Certain growth periods need a more specific range (but we’ll get to that in a minute). For best-growing conditions, you need a hygrometer and a thermometer.

[UPDATED August 2020] Welcome to this roundup of the Best Temperature & Humidity Controllers to monitor your grow room and make sure you are growing the best cannabis.

If you’re investing your time and money into raising cannabis, you’ll want to control grow room temperature and humidity to get the best harvest possible. When you grow indoors, you’re the boss of the environment. With the right tools, you can keep things in balance. Digital hygrometers and digital thermometers, and combination monitors, give you the information to precisely control your marijuana’s environment.

The best conditions for the best cannabis

You control the weather in your grow room. You can create the best conditions for your plants. We’ll get to how you can do that. Meanwhile, here are some guidelines.

Best marijuana growing temperature

The best temperature range for growing weed is between 68 and 77 degrees F. Also important for healthy cannabis, there shouldn’t be more than an 18-degree difference between daytime and nighttime temps or lights on/lights off. As we said, weed’s comfortable where people are comfortable.

If it gets too hot, like above 80 degrees, the plant growth may speed up but you’ll need to increase watering and fertilizing. It may stretch instead of focusing on growing big buds.

Keep your plants at the high end of the ideal range when they are vegetating, then drop the temperature to the low end for flowering and harvest.

Best humidity levels for cannabis

With regards to humidity or moisture in the air, cannabis likes it between 40 and 70%. Certain growth periods like more humidity than others, like sprouting.

  • When you sprout seeds and have seedlings that are beginning to grow roots, give the plants 65 to 70% humidity.
  • Once you have leaves and are in the vegetative stage, gradually lower the humidity each week by about 5% until the plants begin to flower.
  • At flowering, keep humidity levels around 40 to 50%.
  • Then about a week or two before you harvest, lower the humidity more, down to 30 to 40%.

Why do you need to lower the humidity as the plants grow? For a couple of reasons—One, too much humidity during the flowering stage can let your plants get moldy. You really don’t want moldy pot. Two, if the humidity hovers around 40% in the flowering stage, the plants will stay thirsty and drink a lot of nutrients and water. (But if you drop below 30%, the plants may react to protect themselves from dehydration. They will go dormant.)

Controlling Temperature and Humidity

Take a good look at your growing area. Is it a closet, a tent, or a room? Is it in a climate-controlled area like a bedroom or in something more exposed to the elements, like a garage? How much ventilation do you have?

If you use a grow tent, you probably have a relatively well-sealed-off area where you have good control over conditions. You may already have a fan or extractor setup, especially if you’re using hot lights like HPS.

And Don’t overlook How This Affects Your Home

It’s fine to ensure you are taking care of your plants but don’t overlook the potential effects on your home.  Depending on where you are growing indoors the required humidity or the action you are taking to maintain levels may also affect the room itself, not to mention the distinctive scent given off by marijuana plants.

Many of the products listed below are equally suitable for maintaining appropriate levels of humidity in your home as well as in a grow room and will help to disperse the scent of your plants outside your home.

Heat Costs Money, So Cool It with LED Lights

HPS or high-pressure sodium lamps are great for growing weed, except for two things. They consume a lot of electricity and they make a lot of heat. You can hit over 100 F in a small tent with HPS lamps. If this is your setup, be very careful about monitoring the temperature and using the fan and ventilation system to keep things cool. Also, place your ballasts outside the grow tent if you can.

If you use LED lights, you’re wasting less power and you’ll have hardly any heat to expel. In fact, if your grow room is in a cold place, like a garage in the winter, you may need a space heater with a thermostat to help you warm it up. Always use a heater in conjunction with a shutoff temperature or you could roast your weed by accident while you’re out shopping.

We’ve reviewed a number of different grow room climate control options below. You’ll find simple hygrometers and thermometers; heaters and cooling; humidifiers and dehumidifiers; and full-featured grow room controllers. So, whether you’re on a budget or you’ve got money to invest, read on and you should find just the right grow room control solution for you.

Basic Hygrometers and Thermometers

The basic tools you need to control the environment in your grow tent or room are a thermometer and hygrometer. You can find good all-in-one digital hygrometer- thermometers for a decent price. If you plan to grow in the years to come, buy the best one you can afford. It will save you a lot of stress and probably some money, too.

We like the models below:

Extech Big Digit Indoor/Outdoor Hygro-Thermometer

Okay, besides making a grow tent warmer, how can you cool it down?

Cool your tent – Grow room fans and cooling

Let’s say you live in a tropical place where “cold weather” means you hit 65 degrees F at night. In that case, we hope you have an air conditioner. If not, get one for your weed. Or at the very least, try one of these solutions.

Raise humidity – Grow tent humidifiers

If you happen to live in the desert, raising weed can be a challenge simply because your average daily humidity might be too low. Weed wants around 65% as a seedling, and at least 30% when you’re ready to harvest. This is hard when places like Phoenix and Las Vegas drop down to 20%.

Of course, you can spritz your plants with water to help raise moisture levels, at least temporarily. Or you can place an open container or two of water around the tent. This may not be enough either. If you live in a dry place, invest in a humidifier. You can run it on a timer so it can work while you’re playing.

Keep in mind that there are two kinds—cool mist and warm mist–and both may influence the temperature in the grow tent.

Lower humidity – Grow room dehumidifiers

Let’s imagine that you live in a humid place, maybe that town where those vampires and werewolves and that pasty-faced girl lived. Wait, you didn’t see the movie? That’s cool. Just think of a place where it rains a lot. Growing pot in high humidity means you’ll have to constantly watch for mold and mildew and growth problems. While seedlings like it wet, adult plants thrive around 40% humidity as they near harvest.

If you want to lower humidity in your grow tent and you live in a hot place, an air conditioner will help you a lot. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to upgrade your ventilation system or invest in a dehumidifier. Just blowing around with a fan won’t cut it.

Carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas

Did you know that CO2 also affects the growth of your cannabis? If you have a large grow operation, you’ll want to invest in monitoring equipment for this factor too.

With a small home grow, all you need to worry about is getting fresh air to your plants. A simple fan will mix up the air and help the plants get the CO2 they need.

You may be thinking that all this is a lot to manage by yourself. Sure, you can put some things on timers, but it’s still a lot of monitoring and tweaking. Isn’t there an easier way? Of course!

Choose the best setup for your grow

Whether you have one plant or ten, design your grow setup ahead of time for the best results. Buy higher capacity or better quality products than you think you’ll need so you won’t have to replace them soon.

Save money by using LED lights instead of HIDs. It’s a bigger initial investment but you won’t spend as much on electricity and you won’t have to replace bulbs for up to ten years down the road. Plus, you won’t have to cool down your grow tent just because of the lights.

If you’re in doubt as to how much weed is legal in your area, check out this handy site that keeps track of the laws in various states. It’s always better to know before you grow. Then you can plan the appropriate precautions, like a good ventilation system with an odor-reducing carbon filter.

Once your plants have matured, use a bud trimmer to make harvesting easier and faster. And don’t toss out those leaves because you can use them to make cannabis oil.
