If possible I would try to get the humidity up from 26% up to 70%. I flood my room with water to build the humidity but lots of ways to build the humidity up.But 26% is way to low

Spray the plant leaves with water it is hard to get the humidity to rise when the plants are small. As the plants start to grow the humidity will start to rise the bigger the plant gets the higher the humidity will rise. The higher u get the humidity the more the plants will love it. When u go to flower stop the water and get the humidity as low as u can

Yes look around 40 to 45% is good for small plants the water is the cheapest way to rise the humidity when our lights go out humidity will go a lot higher keep spray the leaves and u to get it higher use warmer water for floor

Hey man love your setup. I too am constantly fighting with humidity, got a humidifier myself, but they damn thing struggles to keep the RH at 40%... only a few times did it go up to 50 with the lights on. I really don't understand how people manage to get the 60-70% in their grows. Good thing that spraying the walls helped out, 50 is a nice number. :D Didn't help me though, you misted the walls and the floor or just the floor?

Edit: my bad, just re-read your last post.

Hey thank you man
I actually did both floor and walls got up to 60% however after 1 hour was back to 38% so I just resprayed the walls that were dried already I will try a wet towel under the plants to see if it lasts longer

My issue is that behind the left wall is my boiler
And is winter here so the bloody thing is messing with me .
I am originally from brasil and over there we have fans that spray water is a common product there but I can't find it here in UK I am sure that fan would sort all of our humidity issues

Just having a look at your pic it mite be a good idea to get some black and white plastic for floor go up 1 or 200mm up the walls just to hold the water. By running your fans will lower your humidity. When the plants are small I don't run the fans that much I run a thermostat for the fans and a oil heater. Set thermostat at 19 or 20c so when lights go out the girls want get to cold. Any good shop will have a thermostat for around 70 to 100$ its all most a must. I see u got the humidity up great work. I put a picture of thermostat just put your fans in to the cool and oil heater in the heat and just set the temp u want it works well if its cold

I don't think I will need such a big set up to be honest I was more thinking of a small humidifier as my problem with the temps is that it was getting too hot
Sorted that too it 's at 23c with lights off now that it seats on the floor and 28c to 29 when lights on but I can not be here watering it every hour lol so I will have to get a humidifier however some black and white plastic for floor will be necessary for sure thank you Bryan

By the Way you got me curious and now I wonder what your whole set up looks like

How would you describe this number 6
If you look back at my pictures you will see a hole in the back of it that hole comes from where all the main pipes in my building come from I shall have a new fan in there by tmrw if all goes to plan
