Hi guys just checked the humidity in my cupboard and its only 20% how can i get it up to 45-60%? My fan is blowing on number 2 setting,if i turned it down to number 1 would that help?

What pot size(s) are you using? What is your RH outside the cabinet? How often are you watering? How big are the plants?

Generally the more air moving around will dry it out. Unless that air is blown over a wet towel, that will increase humidity. In my cab I hang a damp hand towel with the end in a container of water and a small fan blowing on it. I pick up about 25% RH

Ok thanks guys my plants are 24 day old cuttings around 4" tall,they are in 6" pots,i only started my grow yesterday,i fully watered my soil before adding my plants,i dont think im gonna be able to hang a towel in there due to space issues,is there anything else i could do? Ive turned my fan down to see if that helps but i just hope it doesnt get too hot in there

Hummidity and temp and getting them to the right spots can be tricky sometimes..
For drying buds i took a huge cardboard box..i cut holes in one side a bunch of openable flaps actualy..anyway i cut another hole in the other side. .I had wire in the box so the buds could hang inside the box..i had a little heater fan and if i put the fan a foot from the opening the temp was 80 and the hummidity was 20%..as id move it back inch by inch the hummidity would rise and the temp would drop. .
Just a thought. .maybe you.need.a hummidifier..sorry im stoned.

Thanks for the advice guys,i tried to hang a towel in there but had no joy due to space issues,i may get a humidifier tomorrow and see if that helps,i was just wondering if i put a jug of water in there then would that help at all,as ive seen humidifiers that hang over the radiator and the heat humidifies your room
