In greenhouse cultivation, consistency is king. Temperature, humidity, airflow, and CO₂ levels don’t just influence growth—they dictate yield, potency, and overall plant health. Even small fluctuations can mean the difference between thriving crops and stunted performance.

Key environmental factors to master:
Temperature – Controls metabolic rates and influences nutrient uptake
Relative Humidity (RH) – Impacts transpiration and pathogen risks
Dew Point – Prevents condensation that can lead to mold and disease
VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) – Optimizes water and nutrient movement within the plant
CO₂ Levels – Enhances photosynthesis for faster, stronger growth
Airflow & Circulation – Prevents microclimates and strengthens plant structure

Environmental control isn’t just about keeping conditions “good enough”—it’s about optimizing every variable to maximize genetic potential. In a controlled space, your plants perform at their peak—and so does your operation.
