LED Lighting’s Effect on Humidity: Considerations & Conclusions

Under canopy lighting dramatically improves light distribution within dense crop canopies and offers myriad other advantages for cannabis growers.

However, unlike HPS lights, which emit significant radiant heat that dries the air, LED lights contribute less to air drying, which can lead to elevated humidity levels. Under canopy lighting further exacerbates this issue, as lights placed beneath the canopy can increase the overall moisture in the grow space without effectively drying the surrounding air. So, what’s a cultivator to do?

The team at Thrive Agritech, the industry leader in research-based LED lighting solutions, is here to help in this month’s special report, which provides key considerations and conclusions for not only humidity but also for sensible and latent heat, HVAC, CO2 supplementation, and nutrient uptake.
