Hi Guys,
I am a first time grower and I am very close to embarking on this voyage.
So like many others I have been researching, researching and you guessed it more researching.
I have completed the grow room setup 1 meter by 1 meter.
I have an intake and outtake fan working through a controller to help maintain temperatures (which is seems to do nicely).
Before I germinate my seeds I wanted to have a fair understanding of the environment and different stages of the grow (seedling, vegetation, flowering).
In regards to manipulating temps and humidity, I have heard I should be aiming for 65-70% RH. with temps of 20-25c during the seedling stage.
Once it is all running I can hit the temps well enough (the intake and outtake fans are cranking to keep the temps in range around 35-45% RH), but the humidity I can't get close to 70%.
To help with this I invested in a 5 liter humidifier, but it does not seem to have made any difference.
I understand that temperatures and humidity go hand in hand yet when I check the temp it's rather cool and breezy, so I wonder how I am to achieve such high humidity during the seedling stage?
I have read it is quite important to have high humidity at this stage so I would like to get it right.
As I do not have any plants in my grow just yet, I feel like all the negative space might be the issue.
Maybe once the plants are in place inside their 8 litre pots it will allow me to bring the humidity within the range I want to hit far easier?
Is my logic here correct or not?
Lastly, I have a Propagator which I could use but I really want to avoid transplanting the plants, as not doing so would be less stressful on the plants as well as less hassle.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
