what is your current humidity at?

well... i spray water on top of the pots as often as i can... but it dries soon... so i would say that the level goes from 25 to 65%... thanks!!

I have successfully grown @ 15% before. Foilar spraying the leaves is not the way to water it. The roots is what needs the water.
I would not worry about your humidity levels if its in that range. To water just pour a 1/2 a liter of water in every 2-3 days depending on the size of your pot. get a feel for it's weight when you just water it. then when its light you know its time to water again which is only every few days. Over-watering is a NEWB's biggest mistake.

somebody must have something to say...

Well its my first time growing and i found that adding a dish of water in the room( maybe more pending on the size of the room) helps alot

Dude, i have a hydo system that absorves the watter+nutrients from underneath, it runs by itself. I spray on top of the containers that hold the plants so i can keep a better humidity level. That is the best that i came out with... but it just doesn't last long... dries

I use a humidifier against an air conditioning unit - the AC pulls Humidity out and the Humidifier puts it back in - keeps my Temp down where it needs to be( 1000 Watt HPS ) and keep my Humidity between 40 and 60% or higher if I need.

Hope this helps

I'm going to move this thread over to the Hydro section.
The general indoor section is typically 1st timer and dirt growers.
You have a different beast.
Sorry I didn't help much...I got dirty finger nails and play with DWC thats about it for me. :doh:

Low humidity during flowering helps get stronger trichome growth...

When my plants are small my room is around 5% RH and they don't die off on me one bit.... as they get bigger and **** up ~5 gallons a day my RH goes up to about 40% and stays there....

Low humidity will help with keepin the mould away too!
