What is the humidity in yoru grow room? Goes up and down or stable at low?

The warm or cool air depends on the climate of your grow room, you don't want the temps to exceed 80 and no lower than 70F.

I think warm temps will use the water quicker if the warm air is dry and low and the cool temps can contribute to mildew problems...... and high humidity so it all depends on your grow room conditions which one you choose.

WHat are your temps like night and day? lights off and on?

In the winter maybe. I can't do that in the summer. Too much heat.

i have a constant low humidty of just under 30%. I keep the fans on when the lights are on only. Im in western NY so it gets pretty cold here in the winter. i have a heater in my box so when the lights go out the temp stays right aroung 70. when the lights are on i go from 70-80 degrees right around 75 most of the time. for exaughst i have a 170cfm fan and for intake i have 110cfm intake fan. my box is 3.5X3.5X5.8 so it has alot of ventlation for the size

in one of my setups i just put a cup of water under the lights and the fan helps to destribute the evaporated water threw the room cheap and easy ofcourse this doesnt always work but its worth a try if you want to

Thanks. the warm air humidifyer seems to be working. though i did leave it a a little to close to the mylar and the steam literally made a transperent spot in it. it looks pretty weird
