I tried all the wet stuff hanging up tricks.
If you want consistency buy a real humidifier and a good controller.
Heres the thing with band aid RH cures. If its 40% RH outside and it takes 2 towels and a wet t shirt......what happens if its 30% RH? 3 wet towels, 2 wet t shirts and a box fan blowing into a pan of water?
To "iffy" for me. I bought a good humidifier and it was money WELL spent.
Without environment AND genetics.....mediocre is the best anybody can acheive, IMHO. The room HAS to be right for repeatable results.
Dude,
You're preaching to the choir. Take a look at the opening post. I'm growing in a small cabinet.
Do you know of a humidifier that works in a cabinet that is 30" X 20" X 49" tall? The only ones I could find are for cigars.
Regarding VPD... The artical and calculator referenced above make figuring this out very simple. In my case, and most people's, 70-75% RH will put you right where you need to be.
The Hydrofogger looks interesting and the minifogger seems reasonably priced to do a room up to 1000 sq feet.http://http://hydrofogger.com/
I have the big one in a 20x20 space. They make a small one I cant speak for. The big one lets me control RH how I want to.
All props to Jalisco Kid for the info. I was doing the wet shit everywhere thing, also. He uses a Faran, which I couldn't find.
They are pricey...but at that point, for me, it was throw in the towel or step up to the pump.
There is a huge difference in veg between 30-40%rh and 65-75% rh. The plants just wake up. I have a CAP controller running the unit.
Lightit,
Good points. I don't I think the VPD numbers take mold into account. My understanding is that they are solely used to predict the optimal conditions for nutrient uptake.
In any case, I've gone ahead and ordered a fogger from sunflower supply that is typically used for fog-ponic systems. Haven't fully though out how I'll incorporate it, but it only costs $31 so I won't be too far in the hole if it doesn't work.
how did the fogger work for you guys? Any pics of how you incorporated it?
