Default Re: How does low humidity affect growth?

I can't really speak for CA weather since I'm in Milwaukee, WI. But I can say I have noticed that higher dew points really enourage faster growth. Lately, even with temps in the 70s, the air has been dry, and growth has been pretty slow. When de wpoints wer ein the 60s and 70s I was getting a leaf a week. Now it is much slower. Plus the leaf eges dry out, even with even watering.
