Raising humitidity

Post by Czechitout »

High,I’m having some humidity issues,levels around 45%/50% inside my basement type room,temps are good @25-28c with led lights,the room is underground in praha,(usually cooler than the uk) insulated and mylared,I need to use a heater or the temps drop to 12-15c!
I’m nearly in week 4 using autopot xls on a 20/4 light cycle, I was using a fan heater but changed that for a plug in radiator this evening hopefully this will help,but was hoping for some tips or suggestions from the experts to raise them levels..


Btw how do I post a pic?
Thanks teve

That humidity level is cool. :oik!: Don't sweat it.

EDIT - scroll down to the chart, or you can get a laser thermometer and read the leaf temp and punch it into the calculator.

But as a baseline, keep it in the zones. (sort of if you can) :oik!:

EDIT NUMBER 2...

Would help if i posted the linky.

EDITNUMBER £ - SPeeling mistakes. :oik!:
I'm with @Marcus on this one. I'd be well happy with that figure. I'm at 80% in mine and I'm half way through flower 🙈

Maybe just ensure you keep watering after the medium dries out a little.

Hey Czechitout, welcome to the forum! You need ten posts before you can post pictures. It’s to keep spammers from spamming pics. What size is your room?
The room is 1:5 x 1.7 x 1.7 , 2 meters underground! Stable temp all year(cool 12c)
The radiator has helped humidity is up a little.
I remember my mum used to hang ceramic things ? Full of water on her radiators , haven’t seen them in years.
Judging by the replies I guess my levels aren’t too bad. Seen lots of vids saying it should be higher, so much conflicting information out there,so I’ll have to wait and see.

temps and RH look ok to me, i run in a shed with only 160cm in height so always use LED's even in the winter(if i had 2m i would go hps in the winter). im running like 45-60% rh most of the time and 24-28c temp wise.
I'm about the same in Veg, humidity has been really low with lights on - plants seem ok, apart from a bohoo I made by overwatering the Silver Shining Haze. It has been almost a week and hasn't fully recovered. I wacked one of those nappy mat things that absorb water. Don't think it helped though. Live and learn baby
