7$ way to increase your humidity. (edibles only because it's a sponsor)
Just add water :cookiemonster:
http://out-grow.com/raw-materials-c-6/large-horticultural-perlite-8-quarts-p-29.html

FAE is more important than humidity.
Make a proper SGFC and you won't have to play games with humidity gauges or products like that.

OR

Make a monotub and never worry about it again. Just dial it in with polyfill.

That product is a waste of money.

How often would you need to refill the water in the bowl? And where did you get it?

I have perlite in my chamber. It only brought it to 60% humidity. This is why I needed this stone to increase it.

I am using a SGFC and there is perlite in my chamber. It simply wasn't good enough to reach high humidity without some help. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this sort of problem which is why I posted

Do your thing man. It's your money.

I said what I needed to so if people stumble on this thread in the future, they will hopefully get some decent info.

Thanks for editing the OP to clarify.
What is your chamber like?
Is it per the tek?

Yea it's all good man. I probably should of explained my set up more in OP. I edited it and added that I'm using perlite and stuff. Thanks for your input, hopefully this thread will help some people get this humidity stuff worked out.

Could you post a pic or description of your SGFC?
Something doesn't sound right here. People use these all the time in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico ect with absolutely no issues. Out in the desert.

I'm surprised 5" didn't bring it that high, I had about 2" and it stayed above 90%. Every 2 weeks I would put it in my shower and soak the perlite though.

It's a standard SGFC and I even made a thread about it back when I first made it and all of you guys on here looked at the pictures and said it was good. So I'm really not sure what the issue is with it. Either way I was happy to invest in the stone since as long as I don't drop it it will last me a lifetime of grows. So far I'm at 85% humidity :laugh:

That's frustrating. Make sure the holes in the bottom are not clogged and the perlite is a moist as possible. Is your chamber elevated?

Yep I poked the holes in the bottom after I added damp perlite to make sure nothing was clogged and the chamber is elevated 6 inches off the table.

Also I should add that I was getting pins without this stone @ 60% humidity so I didn't exactly need it, but I figured it would help. I read a lot that humidity needs to be at 85-100% to be ideal so I wanted to get myself into that range.

Is your house drafty?  Do you run a fan in the room with the SGFC?

I'm pretty sure those things need fairly still air to function correctly.

Just from reading, I've never fucked around with cakes.

doesn't that stone roughly do the same thing as perlite i.e its just a porus stone like surface that provides alot of surface area for evaporation? i honestly think its a problem with your humidity gauge did you ever check it by wrapping in a warm damp towel for an hour and see what it reads? because i dont see that stone doing more than the perlite due to its small surface area just my 2cents

It's basically a hollow dome that goes in the bowl that's full of water. Not sure what the dome is made of. And even if it uses the same concept as perlite it's still a better alternative if it will keep 85% humidity without it. I just have to see if it's still as effective without the perlite helping out. The reason I think it would be a better alternative is because it's infinitely re-useable and there's zero hassle of straining water through perlite or perlite falling through the holes in the bottom and shit. Also I've read posts where people mentioned mold and stuff growing in their perlite after awhile, with this that's not an issue.

Oh yea and as for the humidity gauge, no there is no problem with it. It's brand new. If it was broken it would not of increased gradually when I placed the stone in there and it also would not decrease immediately after I fan the chamber for 30 seconds. I had a broken humidity gauge before and it just stayed at the same reading no mater what I did to it.

Wouldn't standing water in the bowl be a contamination vector?

I don't see how there is nothing in the bowl for contaminates to thrive on. I've never heard of someone having a glass or bowl of water sitting in open air for a while growing mold or anything. I could be wrong though :shrug:
