Humidifier Placement Grow Tent

[Mike80]

Hey guys,

Where is the best place to put your humidifier in a grow tent? I have mine close to the fans and the majority of the mist gets absorbed by the vent. Don’t want it too close to the plants because Im worried about the light.

If you are good at taking things apart and the light is only to tell you it is on you could open it up and use some way to disconnect the little bulb

sorry should’ve been more clear. I’m worried about the LED grow light for the plants.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

I don't know about that sorry

Do not put you light to close to your plants do not have the humidifier blowing on your light or plants.

Turn the humidifier so i hits the side of the tent and not blowing in direction of the plants or lights.

Somewhere in the room that the tent is in, probably. Or, if you have a duct connected to one of your tent's passive intake vents so that the air your exhaust fan pulls in via negative pressure comes from a different room... in that one.

Hey,
That’s how I have it now.

I currently just have the humidifier in the grow tent.

Might not matter hugely one way or the other. On the other hand, anything that occupies floor space in a grow tent is occupying room that another plant (or a portion of one) could into, instead. Plus, I'd rather be drawing in air that is already at the RH level I want it to be instead of bringing in air that is either too dry or too moist, then try to correct that issue while at the same time I'm exhausting it from that volume of space.

Hey,
I do have a big enough tent that it is not an issue at the moment. Also I have about 4-5 passive ducts drawing in air and I do have negative pressure in the tent. You recommend I close all but 1 and put the humidifier there ? The other issue with putting it outside is the electrical cords. I have everything inside tucked in.

If that was directed to me: No. My recommendations were stated above.
