Humidifier

Bought a humidifier and it's been going for 2 hours and humidity level has dropped 1%, instead of rising. Now what. Room is getting hot. 83 degrees

what did u buy a humidifier for? a humidifier puts moisture into the air to where your plants can develope mold and other dieseases. and of course the temp will rise because your basically trying to mimic a tropical forest with that... if u do use it i suggest leaving it on for 2 hours and off for 9 hours and back on for 2 hours

Thats weird, my place gets dry in the winter, when not used, it will be 20% RH, when on it rises to 55%, just get a fan in there also dude, thats what i did

how the hell did it drop when i ran a humidifier it raised it considerably..did you get a cold mist or warm mist?

Did you read the manual on the humidifier?

I add water to mine.

Did you put the parts in it and everything? What kind of humidifier?

I use an ultrasonic for my clones and a wick humidifier for my flowering room.

Thats wat I'm saying. The reason I bought the humidifier was to create humidity. And it's a cool mist.

It's made by Robitussin. It's a cool mist. I add water to mine 2. Its a 1 gallon a day for small rooms.

Cool mist is ultrasonic. I feel that humidification techniques can cause dehydration. When growing Salvia was still new and not really studied, my leaves grew much larger healthier, signs of better hydration without occasional misting. Spraying the leaves with water cause them to curl and be more brittle, I think that, depending on the humidification technique, causes capillary action to actually remove more water.... my place is ridiculously dry though.

Ultraonic, however, should be a safe choice. The water vapor is so small it's absorbed instantly into the plants (~4 nm water droplets!)

Also is clean as distilled. Considered a dry fog/mist. If used in aeroponics, only needs 25% usual nute dose, 50% max to prevent burning. A lot higher efficiency, with smaller rez and easier setup.
