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.
