I recently bought the Inkbird controller for my humidifier. The version with WiFi was on sale at Amazon. I recommend it. Reviewers said the non-WiFi version was difficult to set, so that's why I bought the WiFi version. Setup using the phone app is nice and easy. It also shows the humidity in the tent when away from home.

I bought this small humidifier to go with it: 1.70L Humidifier. It was $30 when I bought it. Now it's less than $20. It has been working well. I fill the tank once a day. I needed a small one because my 2x4 tent doesn't have much floor space.

I have a humidifier on order from AC Infinity, but it won't be in stock until some time next year. I needed to do something, so I bought the Inkbird. So far, I really like it. It's easy to use, reliable and works with many humidifiers as long as they remember their settings when powered on from the outlet.

I think humidifiers and dehue's are a must have in my location. I get my humidifiers second hand at Value Village in Canada, They are for the most part brand new. I think they are bought for seniors that never use them or use them once or twice and get rid of them...I must have a dozen of them here the most I paid was $5.99 - a 30% seniors discount.....

It took me a while to learn I can only use RO or distilled water in them or they green up and become Un-useable . At peak usage I'll go through 16 gal a week I buy locally for $6.50.

Right now the humidity is around 50% indoors so I set it at 60% and I'm going through 1.5 gal every 2 days..in my veg closet.......nothing is needed in flower room or tent 50% is fine for flowering.

In the summer it'll be 100% here and dehues are a must I have 2 now I was running at 100% full blast on Turbo with my 30 pint and I couldn't get it below 70% so I bought a 35 pint and with both running I was able to get it into the 50% range.

The point being some locations will require more air conditioning than others....which reminds me I'm going to get a proper air conditioner for the girls this year I hope if I can find a deal I can afford.

I have one of those Levoit humidifiers....it's my best one....it works great but doesn't come back on with power drops.....just a 1 sec blip and its out but it works great I can get 24hrs out of its 1.5 gal tank when its running full time in the veg closet. It also has a lights out button to shut out the display lights after programing it so no duct tape needed.

I have that same one in my 4x4 tent, and you have to keep manually turning it on once it goes off, so unless you're monitoring it constantly, it's a pain to use.

I use this for my 2x4, and ordered another for my 4x4: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SB2V969?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I keep mine outside of the tent. And ive never had it turn off unless it runs out of water. Perhaps ive just been lucky? I keep it set to about 65% RH during the veg cycle and 55% RH during flowering.

True. It does turn off with power drops. But you really should be checking on your plant every day or every other day for watering/feeding anyways. So in the rare case there is a power outage the room will generally hold the correct RH for a few hours before it fully dissipates. And it may sit like that for at max another few hours before you catch it. Plus you typically know if there has been a power outage at your home and no one who is using a humidified of this size is using it for that large of a grow.
