I live at 10,000 feet and will be sealing up my room at some point in the next year. Looking forward to anyone else who's already there.

my vpd rating is shite. at this elevation, RH around 30%, temps at 80ish. they adapt and grow fine eventually.
just seeing if anybody does it above 8k ft.

ive seen a HUGE growth difference when I run my ultrasonic fogger system vs not running it. while running, I can dial in my rh damn near spot on to the vdp chart. 75% rh and 84* temps with it on, 50%rh and 84* off no matter what the conditions outside (I grow in a basement setting). im currently 2 weeks from flip with this run and the veg growth looks 2 weeks behind from not keeping my rh in check. back to having my ultrasonic fogger system running, albeit at the cost of running a 1k lamp for 18/6.
as far as co2, why not borrow or buy a ppm meter and see what the ambient ppm levels are at your elevation. then adjust for there. I used to grow in 380ppm for 4 yrs with excellent results. now I run 1000ppm from flip to harvest and seen a huge increase in yield.
