I do but I don't follow it religiously. Most charts and things are great starting points but I let the plants dictate the environment they want. I've run grows that charts tell me is in the danger zone but the plants are telling me something different, so I refer to plant response first then numbers after.
To correctly use VPD you need to account for leaf temp also. I use a laser thermometer for this. I think I got mine for $20 on Amazon. It's not the most accurate but it gives me a good enough reading for me to be able to use it in my calculations. I use the charts from the Dimlux site. Their charts allow for leaf temp differentials which gives you the true VPD at that moment.
Simply put, Vapor Pressure Deficit measures the difference between the amount of drying power the atmosphere is exerting upon your plants. VPD is the key...

Generally, my temp/humidity setpoints are 80°/60%. As long as I can keep the plants in that general range +/- 5 on each I should be in the plants goldilocks zone through most of the stages of growth. Where they will differ is in seedling/early veg and late flower but for the most part that is where they seem to be most comfortable at. My main production tent is a 5 x 5 equipped with an AC Infinity T6 fan/Controller 67 setup for exhaust. I try and keep it as simple as possible when it comes to gear so I don't use booster fans for inlet air. I let the exhaust fan pull air in from the bottom flaps of the tent so that the new air can exchange the air in the tent and I can refresh the ambient CO2 levels in the tent. I also use ScrOG as my choice for grow method. Sometimes I'll do a free grow like the one I'm setting up currently. I'll be popping autos on this run so no ScrOG this run. You can see the last couple of ScrOG Journals I did if you click on the links in my sig.
Can you dedicate an office or bedroom where you have control of temp/humidity with a supplemental window unit? I don't like using window A/C's as smell becomes an issue with them so if you are in close enough proximity to a neighbor that you don't want knowing what you're doing then you'll need to rely on the HVAC. I just moved but in my old house I had an office I dedicated as a lung room. I could control temp and humidity up to where everyone felt comfortable in the house. After that it was just being strategic like running my lights on at night when ambient temperatures outside are lower meaning it's easier to keep the lung room/tent cooler along with everyone in the house wanting cooler temps for sleepy time. Works for me and the tent!
If your issue is that you can't keep your tent warm enough there are a few ways you can do this. You can use an oil filled heater to warm the tent. I bought a small desktop heater that has a thermostat built in so I can set it to the temp I want to top off the tent and keep it in range. AC Infinity just came out with a sweet little tent heater.
I also wanted to mention humidifying your tent. I use an AC Infinity T3 humidifier. It has a probe so you can independently have it monitor the humid environment in your tent and top it off when it drops below a certain level. For dehumidifying I use a 50 liter dehu in the lung room.
Sorry for the long winded post but there are a lot of things to learn before you plant that seed in the ground if you want this to go off with as little issue as possible.
