Problem With Humidity, Is This Unit It Ok

[Izzy1980]

Hi all,

Been having an issue with humidity, new autoflower grow (2 weeks today), in Coco & Perlite, grow.room is only 60x60x140, so small,

Temp is always around 24-26°, Humidity was sitting at 28-30°, can get it to 41°with a wet sponge and fan , was suggested to get a humidifier, don't have the money so I bought a 2nd hand one for £10, works fine (link below)

I hope it does the job for the room, what do you think ??

I had a similar sonic humidifier and it worked well for a tent as long as you dint have to exhaust to quickly but dont use tap water or it will spray a fine dust on everything.

I had to use ro water with it.

Hi Mimedgrower,

Hells bells do I have to buy a RO filter kit,

Will boiled water do as a cheap option

Dont think so. Does boiling remove calcium?

I use a fan/filter type 5 gallon whole house humidifier now. With tap water you need the anti bacterial additive and filter replacements.

But i still use ro water to help filters last longer.

Yeah im def need a replacement filter, looking now, finding it difficult, maybe due to the ahe (6 years old), Challenge is an Argos brand I think, this cheap unit may turn out to be a lot more expensive than I first thought
