Humidity in Flower...Myth or Fact?

Where i am humidity is always high and plants do not mind it. The issue from high humidity is mold

I've yet to find anywhere where humidity has any true benefits in flower. However, it's not as dangerous as I thought it to be indoors.

@oldfogey8 mentioned Dew Point. Interesting angle to look at this. Not the way I always looked at it before. I stole some text on dew point and rh.

Dew point is an accurate measurement of the moisture content in the air. The higher the dew point is, the more moisture that is in the air. If you want to know whether (or weather, heh) it's comfortable or not to have a morning jog or go on a weekend hiking trip – stick with that term.

Relative humidity is a more confusing value as it depends on temperature and the pressure of the system in question.

Dew point and relative humidity are not the same, but they are closely related: the higher relative humidity is, the closer the dew point is to the current air temperature. In a particular case, when the air is maximally saturated with water (the relative humidity is 100%), the dew point is equal to the current temperature.

You make a great point about dew point and its relevance to humidity in growing flowers. Understanding dew point can really change how we think about moisture levels; it gives a clearer picture of how much water is actually in the air. While relative humidity can be tricky since it varies with temperature, dew point stays constant and helps us gauge comfort and conditions better. For indoor growing, keeping an eye on dew point can help prevent issues like mold while still allowing for some beneficial moisture. It's definitely worth considering as we fine-tune our growing environments!
