Understanding Key Grow Room Metrics
π₯ 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 β 0.9 kPa
- Vegetative Stage: 0.8 β 1.2 kPa
- Flowering Stage: 1.2 β 1.6 kPa
You can use our VPD Calculator for accurate VPD estimates.
π¬οΈ How Much Ventilation (CFM) Does a Grow Room Need?
- Formula: (Room Volume Γ Air Exchange Rate) Γ· Fan Efficiency
- Helps maintain fresh air & COβ levels.
π‘ 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 CalculatorΒ for accurate light coverage estimates.
πΏ How Much COβ Should Be Added to a Grow Room?
- Vegetative Stage: 800 β 1000 PPM
- Flowering Stage: 1200 β 1500 PPM
- Helps increase yield & plant metabolism.
