What humidifier should I use

[meangreengrowinmachine]

True. I wasn’t planning on buying one unless My plants start suffering because of it but thanks for all the help you’ve provided me with

what lights are you running? I know this is a controversial topic but LEDs need a higher humidity then traditional HPS and such, IMO.

if the op is growing in the winter in any kind of northern climate they might need to actually heat things (I run in a basement and it happens) and in that case EVERYTHING gets very dry. I run a humidifier in my living room just to keep it comfy since in Jan it gets -30 and running heat really dries out everything.

during winter it’s gets cold but I haven’t seen it snow in 3-4 years maybe so I’m not sure if I’d need the humidifier but I’d rather have the best bud I can get by spending £100 more. A little bit might go a long way

best way to really dial in your humidity and temps and they are not that spendy at all !

But are they reliable? Would it break after a year or two of constant use?

I’ll probably run one 1000 watt hps in a 5x5. I’m not sure if a humidifier would cool down the room a bit tho

I’ve never voluntarily spent time in the subarctic, so I admit ignorance. ~shrug~

Oh well I guess I’ll report back to you once I harvest these babies

I have had mine both for over a year... not much to break just a sensor and some plugs and if they do break I think they are like 30 bucks.

Well that’s definitely in my range and I’d be happy to pay 30 ish a year. I’ll definitely look into inkbird. Does it come with the humidity controller or would I have to buy that separately

the last I purchased I bought a temp and humidity controller separately. they are really great though also for dialing in you drying area!

No worries, and I wish you well.

Humidifier in blighty?
My dehumidifier is earning its keep.
Especially overnight.
I wish it was dry enough to need one.

I think you've got your humids back to front my man. I have never ever had call for a humidifier. De-humidifier... sure...I wear them out. But humidifier... nope. You certainly don't want to be using a humidifier for drying. If you are replacing the air in the room regularly, I can't see you will ever need one.

I’ve been told that with a humidifier generally comes a de humidifier. What a difference one word makes huh No wonder everyone’s getting confused my bad folks
