Low Humidity

[Rev Chuck]

need some guidance please. I have a small grow room, 50" X 30" and 7 foot tall.
Every surface is reflective. I'm running a 600w and two good quality LED's.

My humidity is crazy low, and I have the associated issues with that.

I have tried to put a room humidifier in with little change.. Im ab 18-22%

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Chuck

Get a bubble bucket in the corner, just a fish tank air pump and air stone in a bucket of water, and your sorted.

Maybe turn exhaust fan down? I run hydro, my humidity runs low, but not that low. It can get down to 25 to 30% when lights are on. Plants take up more water to compensate for low humidity. What kind of medium do you grow in?

My humidity is usually pretty low as well, especially in the winter. Even with 50% Rh outside of your tent, it will probably be lower inside because of the heat...and the humidity is RELATIVE to the temperature. I sometimes see some slight browning of the leaf edges when first starting out in a very dry room...it is below 20%. As the plants grow, their transpiration helps to keep things more humid and the problem goes away. One advantage of lower Rh is the lack of mold/mildew/fungus. The plants seem fairly immune to anything but very extreme levels, but you are probably OK.
As long as your heat isn't too hot, you will probably be fine.
