Humidification for marijuana for medical use
Humidification control is crucial for maintaining the quality, potency, and safety of medical marijuana (cannabis) throughout its whole growing process and storage. An incorrect humidity level can lead to loss of terpenes and cannabinoids, mold growth or plants rot or plant dryness.
Problems due to insufficient humidification of marijuana:
1. Lack of terpenes and cannabinoids: Terpenes are aromatic compounds responsible for the flavor and therapeutic effects of cannabis, while cannabinoids (like THC and CBD) provide the primary medical benefits. Proper humidity helps preserve these compounds.
2. Mold growth or plant rot: Excessive humidification can lead to mold, which can be harmful when consumed by patients with compromised immune systems or respiratory conditions. Moldy cannabis can also lead to legal and regulatory issues for medical marijuana providers.
3. Dryness: Marijuana which is too dry can lose potency and become too harsh to smoke or vaporize, and break down too easily. This can reduce the effectiveness of the medication and make it difficult for patients to consume.
Solution: AKIMist® dry fog humidity control for medical marijuana growth
- ZERO CONDENSATION: AKIMist is one of the few humidifiers which can guarantee zero condensation due to its small droplet size. AKIMist produces a dry fog with droplets below 7.5μm. This is approximately the size of a bloodcell. The droplets are so small that they bounce back from any surface without bursting! Even when installed relatively close to the cannabis plants, AKIMist will not leave any condensation.
- COMPACT EQUIPMENT: AKIMist is ideal for narrow space due to its compact size of 15 inches – like a smartphone. This means that AKIMist can easily be fitted into a narrow growing room, which will save costs and energy.
- ENERGY EFFICIENCY: AKIMist is known for its energy efficiency. It uses around 83% less energy than conventional humidifiers.
