If you are using a humidifier, are you using a warm or cold mist?

Cold. The warm makes more heat and uses more power. I don't see where there is any advantage for what we are using it for.

Thanks Illegal, I agree about the temps. What is your typical growing humidity at if you don't mind sharing. I am using a cold also, and I thought about going to warm for more humidity, but 30 to 32% doesn't seem too bad. It is so dry in the mountains, even with 2 feet of snow on the ground...funny how that works!!!

I try to keep high 50s for veg, I'm now at 48 in early flower and will try to push that down to 40 by harvest. You need to try to get more humidity in there. Add a second humidifier, put pans of water in, wet towels and get them in, mist the foliage. All are options. Or do them all if need be.
