i know there were a few threads that always wanted to refill there cool mist but sometimes you're not home.... i travel a lot and came up with this a few month ago... i would still put h202 in the water and do frequent water changes cause the water can get contaminated...
i only fill it up with 5g of reverse osmosis water and some h202
this is how it looks.... it's in a 35g garbage can.. with a kid's swimming pool donut .... don't get too big or small...
I used eggcrate from any home development store to cut the right size for the cool mist.. i guess u just keep cutting it till it fits then just duck taped it on.. the cool mist gets the water and it can run for weeks if need be....
let me know what u think..

My greenhouse is the size of three or four marthas and two vics coolmists running one minute on, six minutes off provide a steady 90% humidity. They only need to be filled once each ten days or so. I can't imagine staying away from the project longer than that anyway because so much other work has to be done. RR

What method/hygrometer are you using to accuratly measure your rh? I've bought several and have found they seem to fail at rh's above 80%.

Damn I bought the $15 one at Home Depot too.
The Springfield PreciseTemp Hygrometer/Thermometer. I thought this was a pretty reputable company for these types of instruments, no?

i was talking to about the meter [humidity meter].... and to the guy with the meter that can't go past 80%....
i'm a nice guy, I don't start problems... RR is cool.. and great at shrooms.. i'm learning from him... but i wouldn't be scared to speak my mind if i thought he or someone was wrong.. that's how we learn from these forums..
