E
xperienced indoor horticulturists understand
the importance of atmospheric control. In ad-
dition to lighting and nutrition, atmospheric
control is one of the most influential factors
over a garden’s success or failure. Excess heat and hu-
midity are common problems for indoor horticultur-
ists. This should come as no surprise considering the
fact that most indoor gardens are equipped with mul-
tiple high wattage light fixtures that are notorious for
emitting a lot of heat. Combine this with the fact that
most indoor grow rooms are packed wall to wall with
plants that naturally transpire moisture and it’s easy to
understand why excess heat and humidity are so com-
mon in indoor gardens.
Plants do not perform up to their full potential
when the temperature and humidity exceed or fall
below certain thresholds. Gardens will perform best
when the temperature and humidity are kept within
the desired range. As with other aspects of indoor
horticulture, plants will always do best with consistent
and uniform conditions. This is why a grower needs
6
to take a long, hard look at the equipment he or she
installs to maintain the atmospheric conditions of an
indoor garden. There are many products designed to
aid growers with temperature and humidity control,
but not all are created equally. One company in par-
ticular, Excel Air Systems, takes pride in creating the
most versatile and effective environmental control sys-
tems available to indoor horticulturists.
