Humidifiers

[detroitdjs]

Anyone using a humidifier? If so what one do you recommend?

i use a few different ones.

 

depends on your budget and room size.

 

these ones from meijer are ok for the $25. one gallon size...... so it needs to be filled about every 12 hours though.

 

 

its a honeywell. comes in a red box.

 

 

great unit for a 5 x 5 space.

humidifiers are a great addition, especially since the winter will suck the moisture right out of the air. I have an old one down by my tents intake, its too big to put into tent.. But it is def helping control humidity I think i am gonna take a trip to meijers, that humidifier u posted on here bubble man looks small enough to fit into the tent with no prob

yeah it takes up very little space in the Blueberry veg tent:

I picked one up last night from the big box store. 25 bucks and my low humidity has gone up 20%.

 

Sunbeam warm mist filter free SWM5250, $25.00 plus tax.

I've got a similar one to the one BubbleGrower has shown. I wanted to ask if it is also a good idea to have a bucket of water in the room with no lid on it to really raise that humidity?

A bucket may help(keep away from electrical obviously), but dont waste your time with bowls of water. I've done it with no success.

I put a crock pot in my grow room on low. It ups the temp a few degrees and brings the humidity up about 8%.

I use CVS's brand of cool mist humidifier. Its not only help stabilize my tent @ 50% humidity, it dropped my temps from 80 to 77 on average. I fill it once a day, it holds 1.2 gallons has about .2 left in the morning when I refill it.

I got one from my cousin at abc warehouse it holds 3 gallons and i keep my humidity at 40-55%, last about three days sometimes 4 days. cot about 50

I finally picked one up, similar to BG's at Lowes for $35 last night. After one night it only increased RH up about 5%. I moved it closer to the plants so hopefully it gets closer to 50% (I'm at around 35% RH now). The main reason I got one was to 1) increase the speed of veg, which has almost stalled and 2) to get clones to root. This is only my second attempt at cloning and it's just not working. Out of 16 cuttings put into a homemade bubble cloner I have only gotten three to grow roots and survive transplantation into pro-mix. My question for the pros is: is humidity the main reason why I cannot seem to clone in winter? My temps are the only thing else I can think of as the problem. I am not supplementing my furnace with any space heaters and have temps around 60-65 F.

 

In case this helps: I use tap water pH'd to 55-60 (changed once a week), airstones with stems just above the waterline, plus a little bit of Clonex solution and a drop of Superthrive.

 

Thanks!
