Leaf VPD vs Air VPD: Why Your Sensor Readings Lie
If you have been dialing VPD for a while, you already know the drill. You mount a sensor at canopy height, you read the number, you nudge temperature and humidity until you land in the range a chart told you to hit. Here is the problem. That sensor is reading the air. Your plants do…
