Bruce Bugbee Series – How VPD Relates to Nutrient Uptake

Join Dr. Bruce Bugbee as he explores the relationship between Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) and nutrient uptake in cannabis plants, highlighting that higher VPD values result in faster water and nutrient uptake through transpiration. He breaks down optimal VPD ranges and the importance of maintaining appropriate humidity levels to prevent diseases like botrytis.

The Dr. Bruce Bugbee Series can be found on all of Athena's social media channels.
