compact ultra sonic humidifier

do you think this thing would be legit at what i want? i already will be having a cool mist running as well. i know the reservoir is small but that isn't of importance. i'll be gone for most 3 hours at a time and they only run 15-25 minutes every 2-3 hours. so other than it not holding much do you think it could get the job done?
the biggest reason i would prefer this one is because it's CHEAP!!! all the other ultra sonics i've been looking at are 70-100 bucks... and i can't swing that now.

Lol, I can almost read minds. Almost...

You're over complicating things, that's my opinion. You don't need two humidifiers in one greenhouse. My choice is to use an ultrasonic inside and leave the front unzipped a bit at the bottom.
You'll see a lot of older teks focused on sealing the greenhouse and pumping in clean air. That doesn't work any better with a greenhouse than it does with a tub. Fresh Air is the key to everything in the hobby.

so you think the piping is unnecessary?
also you think it would be better to run an ultra sonic alone as opposed to a cool mist. mind me asking why? everywhere i've read said either run both or only cool mist. i'm just wondering what your experiences were

Well I have an ultrasonic in my greenhouse. Works ok for me. But there's lots of ways to accomplish the goal. Greenhouses are sort of an intermediate-level project for this reason, you need to dial it in to your conditions and that is something only you can do. But be aware a lot of older greenhouse teks are as bad as any other older teks. They make things harder than they need to be for reasons that don't actually matter.

The right timers are expensive. For not much more money you can get a hygrotherm controller. Just sayin'.

Ok cool.
Quick question though, if one used and recommended a cool mist, why not a warm mist?

That's a question for the search engine. Pop over to the main Search Page: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/search.php From there you can see just one result per page, and sort by date. You can also select to see results only from TCs or from a single poster like RR or helltick or whoever.

From what I gathered it because they harbor conatms. But without putting to much thought into it would the cool mist harbor more because the steam isn't heated which wouldn't kill a contamination
