    Bring the humidity up to about 60% while it is sprouting. It will help a lot as the roots are not well estabished yet, so with higher humidity, it can take more water through the leaves.

    I have been trying hard to raise it but can't maintain a high humidity for long. I don't have a humidifier. I've just been using boiling water. Anything else I can do to raise it?

    Don't worry about it I have veg'd and germed in 15-30% humidity fine... worst comes to worst you can always mist your plants with plain water every so often until the roots are more established but hell even rooting clones I usually just stick to watering and have no problem so I definitely wouldn't go out of the way to raise humidity that high if you can't do it for cheap

    True. You can go well off with lower humidity.

    Sometimes I forget that not everyone has random stuff laying around lol

  13. #13 AnonymousInventer, Jul 27, 2017

    I have a lot of random stuff just not that. I have a dehumidifier that's nice and loud! Its perfect for covering the sound of the fans. However I cant run it because the humidity is so low already.

    These are by no means large lol raises my humidity around 15-20% in my Grow space though definitely better than nothing

    Damn.. My humidifier cost me $150. Got it because my dog had a cold that could kill him. Lol. It actually saved his life (and the tube they put down his throat lmao). If the animal has a really bad cold, they don't eat. that's why :p

    Anywayyyyy, here is a $15 humidifier:

    Yeah cheaper ones are by no means great for large rooms but if you can section off a smallish area it works great imo.

    But for entire rooms yeah they can be pricey

    I just found a Vicks Vaporizer in my closet! It spits steam like flipping crazy! I was sweating in no joke 10 seconds. I think I'm going to just water it with steam for a weak lol.

    Sweet. Don't let humidity go over 70% while they are small. When they are bigger, with multiple nodes, lower it to 50-60%. Then in flower, keep it as low as possible to prevent mould :) Good luck!
