1. A method to grow a plurality of Cannabis plants, the method comprises:
growing said plurality of Cannabis plants within an interior of an enclosure; and
maintaining said interior of said enclosure at a pre-determined humidity according to a method comprising:
compressing a vapor-phase refrigerant in a compressor to produce a compressed vapor-phase refrigerant; said compressed vapor-phase refrigerant is supplied from said compressor to a condenser;
condensing said compressed vapor-phase refrigerant in said condenser to produce a condensed liquid-phase refrigerant; said condensed liquid-phase refrigerant is supplied from said condenser to an evaporator;
evaporating said condensed liquid-phase refrigerant in said evaporator to produce said vapor-phase refrigerant by condensing water vapor from said interior of said enclosure to maintain said interior of said enclosure at said pre-determined humidity; said vapor-phase refrigerant is supplied from said evaporator to said compressor;
mixing said condensate with an additional source of water to produce a water mixture; wherein said additional source of water includes treated water, said treated water comprises water treated by a water treatment system, said water treatment system includes one or more water treatment systems selected from the group consisting of a filter, an ultraviolet unit, an ozone unit, a microwave unit, activated carbon, a cation, an anion, an adsorbent, and a membrane; and
supplying said water mixture to said plurality of Cannabis plants.
