Okay so now that i have the 400 watt hps and mh setup, i just have a few questions that actually mean something now :) I just got everything set up and potted out 4 plants in foxfarm soil. Im not really sure about temp and humidity. This is my first grow where i actually have a thermometer. So if anyone can clear up what the temps and humidity should be on average through seedling veg and flowering stages, please do so. Also, with the kit i bought, i got organic iguana juice bloom 4-3-6, and also overdrive flower enhancer 1-5-4. If anyone has used these and found them helpful please let me know, i'd rather use plain h20 with no nutrients, but if either will show a significant difference, than i'll use it. Finally, my current temp and humidity is 77oF and 33%. Is this okay and if not what do i have to do to fix the problem. Thank you for any responses in advance.

u can go out to walmart and buy a humidifier..i think they got cheep ones for like 20$..or u can go all out and buy a digital one and just set it to what u want...those r a couple hundered though...or if u have a vaporizer u can use that too... the ones that blow off hot steem when ur sick!..that'll raise the humidity too!..good luck man!

Is there like more of a diy way of going about it? Maybe with water? my mom said she usted to do something with water but she couldn't remember exactly what it was. Also, about what is the ideal humidity for seedlings? Thank You

Hang a wet towl in the room.
Make sure it is not tuching the walls, Change it every day, make sure there is seomthign to catch the drips.

Don't worry once your plants get a little bigger you will have the oppsite problem and will be heading down to the store to buy a Dehumidifer.

u can put a big bowl of water in the rm..it doesn't do much though..well not for me atleast,my grow room is 4x6 8 feet tall..that towel method seems like it would help out too...but def. make sure u change it every day like he said..u dont want mold in ur room!!!!
