i have a martha and a cool mist..but no ultra sonic.I have heard you can humidify one with perlite,anyone have proof of this?? I have a shitload of perlite and if it would work i wouldnt have to buy an ultrasonic.Also,i will only do casings in this setup,therefore the RH wouldnt have to be %100...Peace!!!

maybe do like a shelf of perlite, shelf of casing, perlite, casings, might work out pretty good, but air exchange is another facet needing attention
:edit: well maybe the cool mist will handle that, not sure, never used one

yeah well the whole point to using a martha setup is so its self automated,so no need to mist if done properly,and the coolmist will definately solve air exchange,no doubt about it...but just wondering if the perlite will handle the RH...maybe if i did perlit in the bttom and then say more about half way up??? anyone with experience on my martha setups please reply..magash??? thanks and peace!!!!

have you tried just using the coolmist alone? My coolmist keep my RH at about 97%. This will greatly depend on your climates natural RH

Attempting this would surely result in the messiest, most time consuming pain in your neck ever. Perlite is a chore to work with on a small scale, you don't really want to try and place several tubs of it in a martha closet, do you? Besides that, you are talking about a large volume to humidify here. I doubt it will work.

sorry to change the subject, but i keep hearing about the marthas being sold at places like Kmart and Walmart, i was just wandering what their actual name was in the store so i could check them out.
