RH for photos & autos in flower

[Sctanley007]

I am currently running photos and auto flowers (which are currently in their fifth and sixth week and obviously flowering).

I’ve never had a problem with keeping proper humidity in the tent but this morning I noticed it down to 37% and realized I don’t know what the proper humidity should be with both types of plants in the same area.

Also and cures for low humidity since I seem to be headed that way? It’s only a 2x4x5 tent so a humidifier seems overkill.

Thanks

40%-50% in flower

My small 3x3x6 tent runs 38%-40% rh which is close enough for flower. Personally I wouldn't worry to much unless it drops much more.

 

[Sctanley007]

Thanks. Just the photos in veg and the autos in flower is throwing me.

If you could get it up to around 45% rh should be a good middle for both.

Any non humidifier hacks that would work?

Bowl of water a wire coat hanger and a hand towel.

How is this set up?

 

[Orlando Scout]

I will set one up for you real quick and take some pics for you.

Sweet. Thanks

Start with a wire hanger and a bowl, work the wire hanger around bowl like so.

Then add a smaller hand towel than what I have "didn't wanna cut the wifes up" add water in bowl hang towel on hanger like so with just tip of the towel in bowl of water.

That's just quickly thrown together you can make it look way more pleasing than I did.

Awesome thanks for the pics to help explain

Now I have to hunt for a wire hanger since I cut up all I could find to use as pins for lst’ing

 

[Sctanley007]

Trying the hanger and towel...it didn’t do much...staying at 37%. I had a fan speed control so I put that on and set it at medium. Maybe moving less air will bump rh. Idk.

 

[Orlando Scout]

Turning your exhaust will definitely help bring your rh up.....it may bring temps up a bit just keep an eye.

 

[Sctanley007]

Good thought. I will watch it. I could stand to raise the temp a bit too so it might be perfect.

 

[Sctanley007]

Well the temp went up to 79 degrees, which is fine, but the RH is holding at 37%.

All the plants seem ok so far but I’d like to figure a solution in case.

I don’t have an issue with a small humidifier with a RH controller but the grow space is so small I hate to waste the sq footage.

I feel you there my flower tent is only 3x3 so I have to be cautious when it comes to taking up room. I found a super small round humidifier online fits perfect, and keeps rh right at 50% at half speed for $10. Let me do a little research and I'll get back with you. We will find something that will work for you bro.

 

[Sctanley007]

Thanks. I turned the fan back up and it’s 38%. Two of the plants need water so I’ll also check for a bump after watering.
