Cheapest is a wick system.

A bucket of water, dangle a hand towel from the roof of your tent with a few inches of the towe in the bucket of water. Water will be drawn up the towel, heat evaporates water, humidity up.

Hope this helps.

PS.... I am in London, how the fook are you hitting temps like that in this weather?

Hey,

That is pretty hot for your plants buddy.

Well if you can get your temps lower in your tent you humidity would drop some. Im not sure how much but it would help to have lower temps. Do you or can you get access to a humidifier?

Ya need to get those temps down, too high. Sounds like you need to duct your inlet right upto the open window and try to seal it so it only draws fresh cool air in. I am running 3 x 600w and ticking over at 74 degrees during the day, 60 at night.

What part of london you in? I don't need your street name LOL

Actually, colder air cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air. Thus, as temperature decreases, the relative humidity will increase, and likewise, as temperature increases, the relative humidity will decrease. All this assumes no water vapor is added or subtracted from the air.

TL/DR: Cooling your room raises RH %.. It's a double bonus.

Just keep ya rig tight and follow the rules and the fuckers can fly round all day and see nothing. Do I detect a scouse undertone to your posts??

My neighbour got busted a few months ago and I was cacking myself at the time, filth everywhere but didn't get onto me. My balls are bigger than melons right now, untouchabe lol. Kiddin, if ya know what they are lookin for it's easier to hide.
