Humidity is too Low

im picturing an enclosed area covered in plastic... cceiling, floors, walls, all sealed with duct tape. you should be able to control the humidity then.

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

oh nevermind ...

any other way than that

Im still thinking maybe if you had a tent for them it would work better. My room has been around 30% humidity lately and inside my tent is stays around 50%

could i build a tent over my bin

If it is a rubbermaid could you just put some water in the bottom and let it evaporate?

that wont work its to hot in side and the fan is powerfull

My RH is 4% in my house right now. There are some places in the desert where that is not unusual in the summer.

Have you thought about buying a bigger humidifier and moistening the air in the room outside the rubbermaid tub?

I know he's using a rubbermaid but its stays the same humidity inside his container so it has alot of leaks and stays the same humidity as his room. If he had something 100% sealed with proper ventilation I think the humidity would improve

not sure if this is a good idea or not due to the other effects it may have but could you not rig up a kettle to turn on 5 min every hour and pipe a bit of steam. that would increase humidity and unfortunatly temps but i would think it would greatly increase humidity and only raise temps a few degrees.
Also so many people are using rubbermaid? tubs.. what are these? dont think we have them in the uk. What are the dimensions of a rubbermaid box?

how about a c02 set up?

foliar spray your plants or dump water into the bottom of the rubbermade container and put the plants on something to keep the roots out of the water and getting root rot.

put the cover lid on the box, figure out a way to seal up the container better to contain moisture. all i can think

laugh out loud.
