Data has been a big part of my evolution as a grower. I always used temperature and humidity sensors but didn’t truly understand just how important the plant’s relationship is with their environment. I graduated to better controllers and had perfect control over heat levels, but the humidity wasn’t so easy. When I finally installed data recording equipment, I noticed how bad things were. Too dry in the winter and the humidity shifts from day to night were scary. I continue to evolve, and so does my equipment. Instead of controlling temperature and humidity separately, I now regulate Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD).  

Last year, I installed the Intelligent Humidity Controller AirSonic Pro and SonicAir Pro Humidifier from Global Air Systems. The controller measures humidity and temperature and, in turn, VPD. I set a VPD point, not humidity, and the ultrasonic fogger adjusts humidity to maintain the set VPD levels. Temperature is controlled separately by fans; not AC. 

This is one of the most cost-effective ways to take your room to the next level. It’s also one of the easiest.

Your plant’s overall health is the most critical part of your grow. HYSHIELD acts as a natural defence mechanism for your plants. It boosts your plant’s immune system while protecting and unlocking its full potential. HYSHIELD can be applied as a foliar spray, reservoir system, and drench.
