Humidity 31%

Well I do like the fountain idea - very classy.
Guess that I will end up w/a humidifier altho I'm getting a little weary of spending money on my little room. (I know, I know)
And my open pan of water is doing jack-schitt to raise the humidity, so it looks as if I am off to K-Mart.

thanks
 
i think its radical that potroast thinks its groovy

I want to be a smurf... ;)

Most of the time, other than my grow box for the babies, my room is at about 30-35% and cranks out the plants.

Well I have a bunch of brownish, dry looking leaves. I also have a guide that says 50-60% is ideal. Being at 31 and having some ugly leaves makes me think too dry but I am open to learning. Overall teh health seems good, but some ugly leaves make me a tad nervous.

Jorge says a few drops of dish liquid will make water wetter maybe that would take up some of the slack and maybe a little extra water

That thing about putting the water in front of the fan works you should try it

or get a vaporrizer at wall mart $20 I think and just don't put any of that medician in the vapor tray I didn't say it right but I hope you know what I ment
 
Mine is about 30% also and my plants are growing like crazy. If properly ventilated with dry(er) air, I am not sure there is much which can be done to up your humidity. You have what you have.

I put a himidifier in front of my air intake. It helped a little, but in the end of the day it did help enough to make it worth it.

Ok, thanks for the replies.
I'll just sit tight for a bit and avoid the temptation to try and get too smart.
If 31% works for you folks, it will for me also.

Damn but that Smurf looks like a happy little guy!

Thanks kindly.
 
Yeah, I'd say that your leaf problem is probably not caused by marginally low humidity. And when you are flowering, that 31% will be just perfect to ward off any nasty fungus growth amongst your sticky icky.

And guys, that 'groovy' comment was a reference to his handle recalling a favorite Joe Walsh album from 1972. :mrgreen:

HTH :blsmoke:
 
i personally don't feel low humidity is a problem,i'm just a few weeks from completing my 3rd succesful grow and my humidity never makes it above 20% while the light's on and is usually more like between 11% and 15%,i've also found it to be benificial to trichrome formation too,and as for the temps in my area,you really don't want to know
 
Hey bro, have seen this thread for a couple days now and wanted to say that Ive had low humidity since I started my grow from 30 to 40% and my plants look great.the leaf problem is probably something else
 
Man, you already know the answer, get some water. Get a Mister bottle, put some water in front of a fan, and get a $9.00 humidifier at Walmart. lay wet rags or towels near by too.
31% is NOT all that low for SOMETIMES, but it is low for ALL OF THE TIME.
