At Grow Up this year, Ikeuchi will be presenting its AKIMist®E dry fog humidification system, giving attendees the opportunity to see how precise humidity control can be achieved without wetting plants, equipment, or facility surfaces. The focus is on the role environmental stability plays in plant consistency and operational efficiency in cannabis cultivation.
"Humidity is one of those variables growers struggle the most with when it comes to keeping it even," says the Ikeuchi team. "What we aim to show at Grow Up is how dry fog creates uniform conditions throughout the space, rather than solving the problem in one corner and creating a new one in another."
As sealed rooms and high-density cultivation become more common, many growers are struggling with inconsistent humidity and VPD, even in facilities that appear well designed on paper. Microclimates form easily, and small variations in airflow or moisture distribution can translate into measurable plant stress over time. "We hear from growers who are doing everything right and still seeing inconsistent results," the team explains. "In many cases, the issue is not how much humidity they are adding, but how evenly that moisture is being distributed."

That's when dry fog humidification comes into play. The AKIMist®E system allows moisture to spread evenly without settling on leaves, floors, or equipment. This approach helps stabilize humidity and VPD while minimizing disease risk, maintenance requirements, and water usage. "Because the droplets evaporate immediately, surfaces stay dry," the team says. "That has a direct impact on reducing pathogen pressure and lowering the amount of cleaning and maintenance growers need to plan for."
At Grow Up, the Ikeuchi team is particularly interested in hearing how growers are currently managing humidity and VPD, where they see limitations in their systems, and what they expect from environmental technologies moving forward. "These events are valuable because they allow for honest exchanges," the team remarks. "We want to talk about what is actually happening in grow rooms, not just what systems are supposed to do under ideal conditions."
Ikeuchi brings decades of experience in precision spray engineering into controlled environment agriculture. "In cannabis cultivation, that expertise translates into dry fog humidification that delivers control without introducing additional variables. Our systems are designed to be modular and customizable, because no two facilities are the same," the
team says. "Growers need solutions that can scale with them and adapt to their space, while remaining reliable over the long term."
You can meet the team at booth 518.
