Rookie question

go after the lung room the tent is a system that youre constantly inputting air from your lung room, from that perspective would you even want one in your tent? then you'd have it on 24/7 as a result of....turning air from your lung room over, right?

aestetic - the vaporizing ones are the ones that leave a residue on everything - like the surface of your plants over time. You don't get that from the type that use a wick and forced air through it. no problem in vege but definitely adding a little "spice" to buds over time in flower, lol.

Another option is leave a bowl of water in the grow tent. The evaporation will raise the humidity actually quite well

Oh also make sure you're using ro water or distilled water. Tap water will leave residue everywhere. I have a zero water filter in my kitchen and use it for my plants and humidifier.

The mist is fine. It's literally micronized/aerosolized water vapor. I have my plants at the end flower with the humidifier spraying right next to them at 65% humidity sometimes if the temps are high. It should be fine honestly

If you get one that uses a wick, you don't have to worry about residue. on surfaces. Bacteriostatic additive is useful. demineralizer can extend life of wick.
