get a better humidifier? lol, sounds like you already tried everything else.

 

[mfdiamond]

u can use boiling water but it will raise the temp also..

 

[windowgrower]

how do i fit it in to the grow though?

low humidity is good for growing. What makes you think you need more humidity?

 

[windowgrower]

no dude, im talking like 2% RH

 

[williewill420]

What is your humidity? All winter long during my grow it was steady at 20% humidity and I couldnt tell any difference from my summer grows that have higher humidity. It was only taking 3 days for my buds to dry and again I couldnt tell any difference

 

[windowgrower]

Im at 2% OR 3% humidity

I'd recommend a cool mist humidifier

 

[windowgrower]

that what i have.... but its realy small

 

[williewill420]

Oh wow thats really low. You gonna need like a industrial strength humidifier or something. Maybe you need a grow tent and duct your Ac into it. That might raise your humidity

dude can you check your rh again because that doesnt sound right to me.

 

[darkdestruction420]

hmmm, that is a problem. you could try moving somewhere else, but if your air is dry as fuck cuz you live in a desert like you said i dont see much being able to fix it other than moving or getting a bigger and more expensive humidifier, you could also try adding a ton more plates of water into the grow area, but i dont think that would help too much.

You might need to enclose your area more or get a BIG humidifier.

 

[williewill420]

I have a grow tent and it stays almost 20% more humid in there than what the room is

 

[windowgrower]

would putting a humidifier behind the fan to blow into the grow work?

 

[williewill420]

how is your grow room set up?

is a rubbermade bin with cfls suspended above with three plants, a humidifier inside, and a 10in fan that sits in a square cut out of the side that pushes air into the grow
