The lowest it's been was 43% with lights on, highest was 55.
Hmm. I've never tried to grow according to VPD. I wouldn't surprise me if the VPD sweet spot is somewhat strain dependent. Landrace sativas being mainly from the tropics, and indicas from more arid regions. I've seen people recommend Vicks vaporizers to increase humidity, would that work?
With light on humidity is good. . Must be up north I don't have worries on humidity basement stay prefect for me.
That's good idea. I know that works well.@SweetPs This has brought my humidity up around 5% since I put it in last night, but I think I will try a thicker towel as this one is drying out too fast.
Hey @SweetPs I use a dome on clones, not seedlings usually.
The Vicks vaporizer works for me! (MOST of the time anyway)
Vicks how that work .

Yeah I think it'll be worth it. Less headache. I do have a VERY small one in there now but I'm not happy with the RH at all. In fact it's causing me to stress and to constantly look at the app. Lol.Hey @SweetPs I use a dome on clones, not seedlings usually.
If this is a condition you are going to battle on an ongoing basis then I'd get one.
Hook it up as suggested and be done with it.
It's important for healthy ladies. 40 is too low.
Stay safe

Most likely very strain dependant, I'm growing a 50/50 hybrid though now. Best of both worlds! Could be a challenge as well.
Is it a cool mist humidifier?
It's just a water vaporizer, that you don't put the Vicks cartridge into. I'm just not sure if they're cool mist or warm mist
Oh you saying the machine thingy. I was thinking of jar of vick rub that u rub on someone chest when sick. . I got ya
Hahah yeah that machine thingy. Lol I can't lie, I thought the same thing at first and then I remembered seeing a commercial for their vaporizer lol
Fill it up, plug it in, turn it on
… if set on low it will emit moisture for about 24 hours … if set on high only about 12-18 hours.I think mine’s the warm mist one - but either should workI did try something similar to that, I have the end of an old t-shirt in a bucket of water and it laying across my racks it stays half damp. I think the dry electric heat in the house and the heat pump are major contributing factors.
I'm east coast of Canada! It's dry right now because of winter.
Crop King seeds don't honour their gaurantee unless you follow their specific germination directions, so I can't use a heating pad.
Yeah I think it'll be worth it. Less headache. I do have a VERY small one in there now but I'm not happy with the RH at all. In fact it's causing me to stress and to constantly look at the app. Lol.
I also turned the heat down in the room to about 10 degree (celsius! 50 degree Fahrenheit). As it's connected to another room that has the heat on at 18. My temps were staying at peak level of 26 (78.8) and kept cycling the exhaust on every few minutes. So dropped the heat in the room, opened the window for a few minutes, which dropped the RH, then I battled with getting the RH up again . It was a freakin stressful haha

Is it a cool mist humidifier?
Yeah for the most part, when the lights go on it gets to about 1.4/1.5, ideally .8-1.3 is what I've been reading is ideal. Lower end is better.
The room stays warm because it's connected to our lounge room which is at 18.
Bahaha it was stressing me out typing it!And to read.
Set and forget. That’s the trick. Having a decent stash for a buffer makes a difference. It took us all a couple of harvests to let things go a little.
Okay cool. I was reading something about an increase risk of mold with the warm mist humidifiers.
What is damping off? Not familiar with this term at all.
I'd say you don't need a dome at with a low of 43% for seedlings. Though as you suspected, getting more moisture into the air will be helpful during veg. Right now you're perfect for flower!
Vick's Vaporizer is neither, it's actual steam.
It's basically a heating element submerged in water that boils it and steam comes out of the top.Mold can develop in any of the humidifiers but not in one that creates steam. That said, raising the RH too high (which ever way it happens) can create an environment suitable for mold.
Damping off is when sprouts rot at the soil line and die. It's usually a combination of moisture and bacteria in the soil. Once I have a sprout planted I only water around the edge of the solo cup to keep the soil around the stem dry.
Yeah, go with that one - not only is it cool mist, but its top-fillable AND larger!Yeah for the most part, when the lights go on it gets to about 1.4/1.5, ideally .8-1.3 is what I've been reading is ideal. Lower end is better.

It hasn't dropped below 22 in the tent, even with the lights off.
Bahaha it was stressing me out typing it!
And I always have a stash of good bud!
Okay cool. I was reading something about an increase risk of mold with the warm mist humidifiers.
I think I'm going to go with this bad boy!
Then I can watch my humidity while I'm at work. Hahaha am I obsessing? I think so, but I like it! Lol
