Understanding Key Grow Room Metrics

🔥 What is Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD)?

VPD measures how efficiently plants transpire water.
Proper VPD range prevents nutrient lockout & stress.
Ideal VPD:
- Seedling Stage: 0.6 – 0.9 kPa
- Vegetative Stage: 0.8 – 1.2 kPa
- Flowering Stage: 1.2 – 1.6 kPa

You can use our VPD Calculator for accurate VPD estimates.

🌬️ How Much Ventilation (CFM) Does a Grow Room Need?

Formula: (Room Volume × Air Exchange Rate) ÷ Fan Efficiency
Helps maintain fresh air & CO₂ levels.

💡 How to Calculate Grow Light Requirements?

Seedlings: ~10W per sq. ft.
Vegetative: ~25W per sq. ft.
Flowering: ~40W per sq. ft.

You can use our Grow Light Coverage Calculator for accurate light coverage estimates.

🌿 How Much CO₂ Should Be Added to a Grow Room?

Vegetative Stage: 800 – 1000 PPM
Flowering Stage: 1200 – 1500 PPM
Helps increase yield & plant metabolism.
