Hi guys needed to figure out what brands and models of humidifiers are best for mini 4 tier green houses.
or even just ones you guys use/used and notes about them whether they are good/bad or just notes and ratings in general, capacity etc...
Thanks ...

I've seen people use 2 different types simultaneously.
An ultrasonic piped in(I recommend a vicks) on a timer and a coolmist running 24/7 inside the greenhouse itself.

Spongi that trips me out, Ive messed with my GH to no end, but never came close to running my cool mist 24/7.
That doesnt saturate your trays/bags?
Right now Im running a coolmist only, inside the GH (4 tier mini) for 30 min on, 7 times a day.
What are your times/methods like?

I don't even have a greenhouse. I use an automated shotgun shelving unit. Little bit more complicated to set up but easy as hell to maintain and work with.


1 ultrasonic on 15 mins, 10 times a day works fine for 3, 66 quart shotguns. Going to test using different #'s and sizes and see what I can come up with and/or add more humidifiers.

mabey you could crunch the numbers and work up a formula for space in shotgun/humidifier required

I think its more just tweaking your own setup and making it work for you.
Spongi thats a cool setup.
I have a vicks coolmist in my GH with a slit cut out the back and the intake for the coolmist taped outside the GH itself for increased air exchange.
It maintains about 87-95% humidity during on/off cycles.
