Cannabis genetics company, Phylos, along with Progressive Plant Research, have recently published a study regarding cannabis canopy density, and how it affects yield.
According to the original article, the purpose of the study was to establish the effect of plant density on yield, cannabinoid production, terpenes and biomass. The goal was to determine the optimal canopy density for cannabis production.
Using DryGair to Increase Cannabis Canopy Density
As can be seen in the article, Phylos use DryGair DG-12 units for humidity control in their grow rooms. The DG-12 extracts 45 liters of water per hour, allowing growers to increase the number of plants they grow, without compromising growing conditions.
One of the most limiting factors when it comes to placement density, is humidity. When plants are placed closer together, the moisture they emit overlaps, creating pockets of humid air, known as microclimates. These pockets of humidity are one of the leading causes of bud rot and powdery mildew – two extremely common diseases associated with cannabis yield loss.
Plant placement density is an important factor when it comes to maximizing cannabis production. The ability to house more plants, in a set space, allows growers to increase yields and profits.
