Question 1

1. Is it compulsory to own a dehumidifier to grow marijuana?

Accepted Answer

No, you can grow a marijuana plant without using a dehumidifier as well. However, if you own a dehumidifier it will help you ensure that your plants are growing in a much better way. This is especially important if you are growing weed in a tropical climate where humidity is naturally very high and there’s a lot of naturally occurring moisture in your air which can be harmful for your plants.

Question 2

2. What happens if there’s high humidity?

Accepted Answer

While humidity is good for the growth of marijuana plants to some extent, having too much humidity would mean you risk rupturing certain cells and portions of your plants because they will have more water than they could carry! Having high humidity also makes it harder to have the nutrients travel up the plant’s body via the roots because most of the moisture the plant needs, it gets from the environment. If the humidity was low, then the plant would rely on the roots and therefore absorb the nutrients along with the moisture.

Question 3

3. Is very low humidity bad for the plants?

Accepted Answer

Yes, very low humidity is also bad for the plants because that would mean you would have to constantly provide water via the roots which will add undue pressure on the roots as they will keep exerting themselves. This could be avoided in the early stages of plant’s growth cycle by ensuring the humidity levels aren’t very low.

Question 4

4. How big should my dehumidifier be?

Accepted Answer

This depends solely upon your growth setup. If you are using a grow tent that is too big - then you need to get a dehumidifier which can dehumidify a larger volume of air. However, if you’re using a small grow tent then you would be ok using a smaller dehumidifier too. The best dehumidifiers for grow rooms need to be more powerful and the biggest in size because it is easier to dehumidify a tent compared to dehumidifying an entire room.

Question 5

5. Is it legal to use dehumidifiers to grow marijuana?

Accepted Answer

While using dehumidifiers is totally legal in any case, you might end up having some legal troubles if you are growing marijuana in a region where it is illegal to grow weed. Make sure you’ve confirmed it with your local law enforcement agencies that growing weed is allowed in your area - and that you are growing the permissible quantity of weed as well.
