low humidity using perlite tek...
    #4898051 - 11/05/05 05:58 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

using about 3 inches of perlite and 2" water in a rubber maid storage container...have bubblers underneath...only one small hole on top which is now covered...transferred cakes 2 hours ago and still only 80% humidity...

i think h2o level is ok...but maybe the seal of the container isn't good enough???

any ideas???

thanks...

You should be fine, I'm thinking you have one of those cheap dial hygrometers (like me). Actually, just perlite by itself is good enough, with bubblers makes it more humid.
Yer Ok.  :thumbup:

Holy crap 2" of water. That is way too much man. I had some probs with miy perlite setup too. If I were you I would leave about an 1" there. With that much water your perlite doesn't get enough surface area.

Another thing is the seal. My seal isn't totally air tight but it is close.

I have to mist the walls of my setup to get the right humidity. Everytime you fan it just give it a good mist on all the walls. If there is still water on the walls when you fan you can skip misting that time. That is what I do and I have 98% humidity.

how long have you had your FC set up? It takes some time for the humidity to get going good.

I hope I answered your ?

Good Luck on your grow!!!
