No need for a humidifier! You really only need high humidity for the first couple weeks.
What I prefer to do is place a clear plastic cup or Tupperware over the plant after watering. The water will evaporate and condense within that cup and create its own humidity. I have found this method keeps it around 75%.
I’ve been doing this for years and have never once had an issue. Check out the first week of my LSD grow diary to get a idea of what I’m talking about.
Happy growing!

Yeah , it’s best you do that. You need the humidity to be around 60-70 in this stage. When I plant my seeds I always put a glass on top the first 3-4 days. They like that. Good luck 🤞

You can put a bucket of water in your tent for now, it will raise the humidity and it works better if you hang a tea towel over the side having half of it in the water.

Hey so winter has come for most people and that means dryer conditions. However once your girls get a little bigger they will produce humidity as well and that can help. The more plants you got in your space the higher the humidity can be.
Happy growing

I am facing a temperature problem again....My tent reaches 84.2F, which is too hot in my opinion. But my humidity is perfect. On the other hand, if I activate the ventilation, the temperature of the tent reaches 76F, which is perfect, but the humidity level drops dramatically to 35%.

Risk of bud rot with these conditions?My tent keeps bouncing between 55-65% throughout the day during mid-late flower stage. Staying between 24-26 C. I have two fans moving air in the tent and the plants are we defoliated. An in-line fan is pulling air out. How much at risk am I for bud rot? Thanks!Buds. Other

Peltier dehumidifier @300ml per day adequate for 3x3x6 tent? Alternatively, a conventional dehumidifier outside the tent?Peltier thermoelectric dehumidifiers extract 300ml of water per day. Weak compared to compresser units, small and use less energy. Is it enough?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate?
