0% Humidity in room

[Dima79]

hey all, got a quick question..

i live in a desert climate and my room has 0% humidity in it, both for Veg and Flower.

i bought a small humidifier to place in the room, what % should i aim ? about 30% for flower, 60% for veg should be OK ?

i must say that my plants look healthy so far, leaves are good and not dry or crispy, the soil-less mix dry out in about 2-3 days, but i can say there’s a low growth over there in general..

Does humidity will improve things in there? should i just leave it in 0% ?

ps- of anyone know of cheap & good humidity auto thermostat that can take control ?

many thanks

I live in an extremely dry climate too. I started growing without a humidifier at 0 % humidity. My plant grew pretty good but overall my room felt alot better once I got a humidifier in there. It seemed a little bit cooler and more just like nice weather, but only in my closet I was also going to buy something to regulate the humidifier but I put it on the highest setting in my closet and it didn't bring the humidity above 60%. I use a humidifier from walmart that does not put out a mist or vapor, but raises the humidity. It was about 30 dollars and I'm glad I got it. I've read 30% and less for flowering due to bud rot, but 40-60% for vegging

thanks for the reply, thats exactly my situation here, same with plant development.
ill install today a humidifier and see the results, the fact that it cools the closet a bit is very good to me

My humidity has stayed around 10% throughout my whole grow, and I haven't noticed any problems because of it. I'm about a week away from my 1st harvest so there you go. I imagine that the optimum conditions would haV=ve higher humidity during veg and a little lower during flowering to keep from getting moldy buds, but I have done just fine with 10% all the way thru.

actually ive been with 0 humidity for the past 3 grows, which all turned out fine .. but its realy strain dependent i think.. i want to do multi strain in the future and get best conditions for all..
