Humidity adjustments?

I have a small grow cabinet with four plants in the first week of light at 18/6. My temps inside are staying at about 80 degrees farenheit, but my humidity is only at about 30% to 40%. I have to 125 watt compact flouro.'s in domes above, with a PC fan in the top back for exhaust.

I was considering another fan for exhaust, and another for intake, any thoughts on this?

Also, I'm curious about these new LED grow lights i have seen lately.....here is a link.......http://shop.sunshine-systems.com/product.sc?productId=10 ... thought about getting one of these for my small grows.

Any extra info. for this grow would be much appreciated, and i love getting help from great growers here. kiss-ass

Is there any way for me to increase the humidity to the proper 50 - 60 % along with keeping the temp at proper temps of 70 -80 farenheit? I think i'm okay with my temps of 80, just not the humidity.....

Thanks guys!

Actually when in your in the vegetative state where your photoperiod is 18/6 a 50-60 RH is a good range. Where you do not want your RH to be around 60 consistently is in the flowering state.

Cali cat,
thanks for the fast reply!

My humidity is only at like 30 -40% right now, but the temps are right at 80 farenheit.

I'll get pics as soon as i back from the store..........

Here is the grow i started, still looking for ideas to lower temps., and my humidity is currently at only 30%.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

******BUMPITY******

Anybody got anything for me?

well i've heard that putting a couple cups of water in the grow space with the plants will increase the humidity. ive been doing that since mine started, and i move the cup a couple weeks ago and now that i think about it. since then one of the plants had its leave curling upward and around in a wierd way. i think that may be one of the reasons. i need to replace it now that im thinking about it

Thanks for the tip, i'll be doing that right away.

I also just swapped my intake and exhaust fans, the one had more air movement than the other and it wasn't exhausting enough i think.

I added the water to my box, only one cup to try it.

When i put the cup in the temps. were about 85-87, and RH was at 30%.

If I get the humidity up a little more and the temps down a few degrees, I think i'll be good.....

Put a shallow pan full of water inside your box, as the water evaporates it will cause a rise in humidity. You can also spray the plants with water every day and that will help a bit. temps should be below 85F at all times otherwise growth will come to a crawl.

Thanks alot, but i prefer not to spray them i heard too much about frying leaves this way.

Also, my temps will not go below 85, i don't know what else to do......

I put the cup of water in the box, and I just checked them before the light goes off.....

The humidity level is at 65% and the temps are even down a little too, they are at 80 farenheit.

Thanks guys you F*#*ing Rock!!!!!

damn so one cup of water effected it taht much? ive been doing this but i dont have any way of knowing what the humidity is, i just hope it's enough. i'm really glad it worked for you tho miss. thanks for the rep points

I just got the cheapest thermometer lowes had that had a gauge that measured the humidity. I think it was on;y like $4.00.

But, the cup of water and the fan blowing keep the humidity perfect now.
