Question 1

Why do plants need humidity?

Accepted Answer

Humidity is important for plants because water is important for them. Plants require water for a good growth because water helps them carry their energy and ‘food’ to all the other parts of their body. When you grow marijuana (or any other plant) indoors, you need to provide it sufficient water for a healthy growth. Marijuana plant, in its early stages, needs a high humidity level so that leaves can absorb the water in the air directly via their stomata and it reduces the stress on the roots. rnrnHowever, once the plants mature from the growth/vegetative stage into the flowering stage, they need to be provided with nutrients which help in the blooming of the flowers. These nutrients are mixed in water and provided via the soil on which the weed is growing in and is absorbed by the roots. Hence, at this time the humidity levels need to be lowered so that the roots kick into action and begin absorbing more and more water from the soil. This is why humidity is important.

Question 2

What good does humid air do to humans?

Accepted Answer

While humidity is important to plants, it is also essential to understand why humans need humidity and what are the good effects of humidity on humans. This is because most people who are not into growing weed tend to use humidifiers for their daily needs at home. Here are some of the biggest benefits of humid air for humans:rnrnFirst off, during winters when the air goes dry, there are a number of discomforts that people tend to face ranging from breathing problems to skin issues - having a warm and humid air in your room resolves most of them.rnrnSecondly, humid air in your bedroom is good for you because it will keep your nasal passage and your throat hydrated while you sleep. This means you will get a better sleep because you won’t end up waking up thirsty or dehydrated at night. You can also breathe better and get a more comfortable sleep. rnrnThose suffering from congestions and cough must also try using a humidifier as that allows them to breathe better and feel relief from these problems.rnrnAnother cool feature about having humid air in your room (which not many people know about) is that it can help prevent static electricity! When there is moisture in dry air, you won’t get any static shocks. rnrnLastly, having humid air in your room is also beneficial because it will ensure that wood does not lose moisture and hence your furniture will last you longer and will look good too. Lack of moisture can lead to cracks or warping in the furniture.

Question 3

Can you create humidity without using a humidifier?

Accepted Answer

For anyone wondering if it is possible to create humidity in the air without having to use a humidifier - yes, it is possible! Humidity can be created by a number of other ways too. Here’s a closer look:rnrnOne of the easiest ways to create humidity without using a humidifier is by adding wet clothes to the room you want to increase humidity in! This is an effective method which always works. rnrnAnother simple way to do it is by just keeping bowls of water in the room and having a warm source of light (like sunlight or artificial hot light) shine on it. This would lead to the water evaporating and the vapour will add on to the humidity levels in the room.rnrnFor those specifically looking for solutions about a grow tent or a grow room, one good way to create humidity without using a humidifier is by mixing small and big plants together. As the big plants ‘breathe’, the vapor that comes out of them adds on to the humidity on the room on which younger plants can feed upon.rnrnIf you have a grow tent where there are air vents, you can also try and put a wet cloth around it which can result in the humidity levels increasing significantly.

Question 4

Which is the best humidifier for me?

Accepted Answer

Now this is a very subjective question as the ‘best humidifier’ for ‘you’ might be different when compared to someone else’s needs. Humidifiers need to be bought keeping in mind a number of factors but the most basic factor that you need to consider is the size of your room and the requirement of your plants. If you have a big room, you need to ensure that the humidifier that you are buying has the capacity to circulate mist throughout the room and that it can last for long. If you are buying a humidifier for a smaller room or for a grow tent you need to make sure that it does not add too much humidity into the room. This leads us into our next question -

Question 5

Can Excess Humidity Damage Plants?

Accepted Answer

While excess of anything is always bad, excess humidity can kill your plant. We are putting it as bluntly as we can because if you create an environment which is very humid, this would be like ‘overfeeding’ the plant and when the carrying capacity of the leaves get full, the cells start to burst thereby damaging the plant bit by bit. Hence you always need to ensure that your humidity levels are ideal but never excess.
