How much can I do with this cool mist humidifier?
    #6135769 - 10/05/06 09:37 AM (17 years, 4 months ago)

Will this cool mist humidifier be enough to humidify 2574 cm squared (400 square inch)? Thats an approximate area of 9 casings, each has dimensions of 22x13 cm (8.7 x 5.1 inch).

The model:

Technical specifications:

And how many casings would I be able to humidfy with this one:

I have no idea how to estimate, and I wouldn't like to find out by trial and error. Answers and estimates would be appreciated! Thanks!

Well my vicks V400 puts out about 50ml/hour, and that is humidifying a martha, which is 2'x3'x6',and keeps it at 98-100% if I need it too. You didnt say how high your container was to find out volume, but in this situation it wouldn't matter as long as your container isnt 10 feet high.

That little thing would work for your application. It does not hold much water though, so you'll be refilling it alot.

The larger one puts out more than my V400, so it would probably humidify a grow area about 4'x4'x6' or more.

All that depends on the RH in your area also.

The V400 is that a ultrasonic or just a regular humidfire?

Thanks a lot spooker.

So what is the relation between ml/h of mist to cubic feet of space that it humidifies? How much ml/h per cubic feet (or liters, whichever unit is good) is needed for ~98% RH?

I really didn't find an easy answer in articles or using search.

CL the V400 its Vicks flagship impeller humidifier (the kind you want)

J- those two you listed are ultra sonic, but they will work fine for humidity, you just will need to provide FAE yourself, unlike with a coolmist that does the FAE for you.

I don't know what the calculations are for ml/Wv to % humidity but those two you have listed will be fine for what you want them to do. Ultra sonics can usually keep the humidity very high and most people have to put them on timers even to keep below 100%

Oh I see, that sounds great, then I can use a big tent-sort-of-thing and maybe even have more than 9 casings? I'll try it out.  :thumbup:

Yes you can, but I would still get a V400 or similar impeller type coolmist, it makes things easier because it provides the FAE. You should get a coolmist and have one of those U.S. ones as a backup/supplement. Yes you can do more casings, Most people are running 1 V400 coolmist impeller type into a martha. My martha has 4 shelves with 3 12x12 inch trays on each, so I have 12 square feet of substrate being taken care of with one V400, and it could probably handle more. Like said, the RH in the room makes a difference.
