    THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT VPD RANGE YOU SHOULD USE.

    I'm wondering if you agree with Dr. Who about VPD swings. With my system, I am running up and down between 1.0 and 1.3 or so. This doesn't seem horrid to me. I cannot maintain a true constant with the equipment/environment I have. Besides, I'm holding with my theory that if plants respirate...

    THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT VPD RANGE YOU SHOULD USE.

    I wrote software to do this (I'm a programmer). It's on GitHub for the sharing. I am using SensorPush sensors. They have a gateway that allows my software to poll the device via an API. I am using TLink Smart Plugs to control my devices. These also have an API that allows my software to turn the...

    THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT VPD RANGE YOU SHOULD USE.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT VPD RANGE YOU SHOULD USE.

    I have a thought (because this is what mine does) that if you cycle between 1.0 and 1.5 you get the best of both worlds.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT VPD RANGE YOU SHOULD USE.

    So a couple months ago, I asked the question here What is VPD and why should I care? Got some good info. Did a shit load of research. A software engineer, I wrote some. See my screen shot. I test a probe from my friends at Sensor Push, and use that to control smart plugs to AC, Humidifier and...

    VPD and why do I care

    I am using SensorPush. $200 and you have all you need to read temp and humidity. It reports VPD but it's calculated. They provide a pretty simple API that you can use to poll the sensors (they read every 60 seconds). I have an IR thermometer that I use to read leaf temp. I do that at various...

    VPD and why do I care

    OK, thanks for all the information you guys supplied. I'm all off into this now. I've actually written code to calculate the VPD. It's in C#, it's attached. The Leaf Temp is what throws me. It APPEARS that my leaf temp difference is about -2 with light and -4 without. That seems consistent...
