Question for those who run Coolmist and ultrasonic Hum.?

Hey,
my foaf has a 3 tier greenhouse setup and he's running a coolmist humidifier for air exchange and an ultrasonic to mist, anyways he has the ultrasonic running for 15 mins every hour and the coolmist running 24/7 but he noticed that once the ultrasonic shuts off the coolmist kills the humidity, so he wanted to know what were the settings of other people running a coolmist and ultrasonic humidifiers?
thanks in advance

95%. I'm not one of those who believes in lowering the humidity for casings. Untill I see a difference things won't be changing.

I like the foil on the bottom of that tupperware. I was going to use spray paint.

THe reason I use foil and clear containers is if I suspect a contam I can take them out of the foil and look.

Hi Magash,
Newb here on cool mists and ultrasonics. Got a few questions:
1. Bulk grow in a 90L bin with no cool mist or ultrasonic hooked up. Humidity is not the problem, it's air exchange. Planning to get a cool mist set up. Is an ultrasonic necessary since the casing currently provides sufficient humidity?
2. When setting up a cool mist does the bin require an exit hole for air as well?
3. In your experience, how much air volume can one cool mist handle?

3. In your experience, how much air volume can one cool mist handle? It will handle it no problem. Just put a timer on it and have it come on as many times as you need it to.

Are you using a hygrometer to measure the humidity or do you mean that the cool mist clears out the fog from the ultrasonic?
Even when the fog has visibly cleared for the most part the air in there should still be plenty humid.

Magash,
thanx for the response. 3rd question - I meant to ask, how many bins do you think one cool mist can handle?

Thanks for your answer agar. I am from Turkey so, the product shown in the pictures are not sold here. They are in other forms. I think, the difference between ultrasonic and coolmist is one can provide air exchange, but the other does not. In my growing chamber, can i use ultrasonic or coolmist in order to control both humidity and both air exchage? Will it be enough for air exhange problem? Or i need something else solve air exchange problem.
