[Jba6901@gmail.com]

my almost month old plants are under 8000 lumens t5 lights in a 24x24x48 grow tent and the humity is 25-30% how do i increase this!? thanks

put an ultrasonic humidifier in the tent. I have to keep more than 1 in mine, lol. good luck!

Yeah, Jba, what harvester says: a little humidifier is very cheap; I got one on Amazon for around $20.

But until you get that, someone once posted about hanging wet wash cloths in the grow room for humidity, which I'd never heard of before. Get that humidity up a bit for your babies!!!!

Good ideas posted here for you. I would just add that it is a good idea to raise humidity in you entire home in the winter time, so some pans of water on heat registers, wet towels in your tent all help. It is much easier to raise humidity than to lower it.

 

[intergalactic_harvester]

thats right! i used wet towels on the tent floor until i got vaporizers. just make sure you keep power cords OFF the floor, lol.

I wouldn't worry to much about the humidity, I have great success with under 40 for the entire cycle.

Hey, that's good to know.

The low humidity in flower is a really good thing.

This is for alltatup...here is a photo in my current tent, the humidity averaged 35-40 during veg and right now into 7 week of flower. I am totally serious that humidity is what it is naturally. Sure it can benefit providing higher when it needs it, and lower when it calls for it. But really, just think about how many outdoor grow there are! Cant control the weather outside, so it is grown in a natural climate. Most people run into serious problems running high humidity zones. Believe me when I say, the plant will adapt and will also create more resin for protection during the entire cycle.

My plants sit on stands over plastic containers for drainage, I pour water into the bottom of the containers at the beginning of lights on and it raises the humidity by 5-10% once the lights get going and the water evaporates. I do some foliar spraying too. This said I've vegged at low humidities before and haven't noticed any issues as long as you stay on your watering.

Some strains thrive in higher humidity. It's all based on the region it adapted to. Higher humidity means less transporation which the plant may like more.

Absolutely beautiful! My girls are in flower now, so I do have the dehumidfier running at 40%, but I will worry less about it during veg phase in the future!

Thanks alltatup

Thanks Komatchi! So it's all what the plant likes... Ahh I see.

If you could have 90% humidity during veg, your plant would show how much it loves you! I have used this high humidity during veg and there is a night and day difference! Now I don't bother with humidity at all cause once they start flowering in either situation, I get the same bud results. So i stopped doing it and just use what ever the humidity is... naturally!
