== Indoor ==
While growing indoors it is crucial to monitor and adjust the environment's temperature and humidity as there is no natural mechanism to regulate these factors.
=== Raising humidity ===
Raising the humidity of your growing environment can be most easily achieved by adding an electric humidifier or diffuser to the space. Alternatively, placing a wet towel in the area will help to raise humidity.
=== Lowering humidity ===
Electric dehumidifiers are a simple option for lowering humidity but they may be too large for your grow area, a more compact option is to use a chemical dehumidifer. They are comercially available but can also be made from epsom salts or silica gel.
=== Raising temperature ===
Generally speaking the easiest way to raise the growing environment temperature is to raise the temperature of the room it is in. If this isn't possible then raising the light intensity or adding an elecric heater can help.
=== Lowering temperature ===
Temperature can be lowered by increasing the rate of airflow from inside to outside the growing environment, in other words, increasing ventilation. The light being used may also be adding to the temperature so decreasing its intensity, where possible, will lower the temperature.
