Humidifiers are pretty cheap. It's probably worth it to invest in one to sit by your intake, since I'm guessing you don't have much room inside the tent.

Barring that... Maybe a bucket of water with a couple towels hanging out by the intake?

Before the internet. When information was harder to come by. I didn't use a humidifier for years. Never gave humidity a thought. Whatever the humidity that day. Is what they got.

Never had a problem I can remember. The only reason I got a humidifier was because the internet said to.

You don’t notice better, faster growth when the plants open up and breathe? I’ve experienced explosive growth under proper humidity, no other changes were made. Maybe it’s due to mountain weather fluctuations.

"If you can get a container of water, hang a wet towel so that only the edge is in the water and it will evaporate and raise humidity. If you can stretch towel out so it is flat instead of in a bunch. It works, youll see the water in the container disappear as it wicks up the towel and evaporates."

low humidity

Used super soil. AK48. No problem. Hydro with a variety. I never had a humidifier until the internet.

Back then, the general belief was they're breathing the same as if they were outdoors.

Don't get me wrong. I use up to two humidifiers on a grow. But I didn't for the longest. A healthy plant is a healthy plant. Humidity never gave me a problem. Now its complicated.

When I first started. I only grew in the summer. Now, I only grow in the winter. It's easier to heat then it is to cool.

My biggest joy in life is cleaning a damn humidifier. Its quite the party. Every 3-5 days depending on how much water they use. RO water only, no tap.

No problem. What are your temps at? You can lower your temp if it's high enough and that will raise your RH as well.
