don't see you needing that US.
the coolmist is even too much, so the timer is good.
RR has a good point: The coolmist when modified with pvc tubes and what not cannot be returned to the store when it dies.
Don't alter the coolmist and put it inside the greenhouse. If it dies, return it. They usually have a 2 year warranty. It will die, so you will return it. And once 1 is bought, there you go. For life.
HC suggests running two pvc pipes from the coolmist to reduce back pressure and allow the coolmist to not burn out so quickly.
If you intend on having the coolmist outside the greenhouse that is.
Good luck man.

thanks snaggletooth...
Monster, the cool mist isn't modified straight out of the box the cool mist is for fae not humidity
and I know i probably dont need the ultra sonic but i have a humidistat so it wont have to work very often and the Rh is spot on

hey, whatever works for you.
I have one martha with two wicking coolmists and an ultrasonic running it.
According to the "pros," this is a huge no no. However it works incredibly well. I understand all of their suggestions, and they are for sure correct. I use bleach in the water and excelsior moss in all of the tubes. Oh, and they are all one tubers sitting outside the martha.
When it comes down to it, what works best for you is what you need to do.
Greenhouses rock. I have one that I walk into and it's filled with shelving. I have two marthas and one smaller one. I like them better than the tubs.
emptying out tubs is a huge pain when you're not lining with trash bags, removing trays is super simple. Greenhouses make dunking much easier too. All of this is in my own opinion.
I just hope this works out well for you.
Oh, one more thing. monitor RH and Temp both on the top and bottom. Don't just leave your sensor in one place. You might find drastic differences within the greenhouse. If you only have one sensor, move it frequently.
