help me humidify my grow tent
    #14334779 - 04/22/11 06:58 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

can anyone give me a suggestion on how to go about humidifying this set up? I'm gonna have a metal shelving unit with stacks of flat planter trays. This will be cased inside a homemade tent of clear plastic tarp. inside the trays will be wild bird seed substrate with vermiculite casing. I'll drill holes in the trays for air/gas/humidity exchange. the room temperature is perfect but the humidity isn't. I was wondering how I could  use perlite to humidify this setup. I was thinking of adding a few trays of perlite and water, without the lids on, so the humidity will flow through the tent. Another way could be to put perlite and water inside of a tray, without a lid on, and then put another tray inside that one...might be some sort of a spacer to  make a bit of room between the trays so the air exchanges easier. any suggestions?

I agree with the above post....    A Martha and a coolmist is easy peasy...

i noticed you're in TO..  i grabbed a coolmist at Canadian Tire for like $20-25...  just put it on the bottom shelf, and boom!  i can maintain 95-99% easy.. 

trays of perlite can work...  but you'll need alot depending on size of tent...
and don't leave water in the perlite..  you want to drain it first...  works better..

good luck!
