What is VPD?

Vapor Pressure Deficit is the difference between moisture in the air vs moisture in the plant. It's critical for optimal growth.

VPD = SVP_leaf - (SVP_air × RH)

Optimal VPD helps plants absorb water, transport nutrients, and open stomata for CO2 uptake.

About Leaf Temperature

Leaf Temperature is typically 1-4°C lower than air temperature due to transpiration cooling.

Standard LEDAir - 1 to 2°C
Strong ventilationAir - 3 to 4°C
High-pressure lampsAir - 4 to 6°C

Use Manual if you know your exact leaf temperature.
