Humidity very low help please

[scorpion]

I do this when seedlings are young, one end of a tower in the bucket and the other hanging over the pot acting as a wick works up to a point but more tubs =more cloths
Haha if you want to push humidity up near 100% stick a vegetable steamer in but only downside is your filling it every hour

Cheers m8 never thought of a veg steamer lol but can’t be arsed filling it every hour lol

As a temp fix i can not see why you can not spray the sides of the wardrobe. I would not advise to do it for a long period of time though. some plants you can get away with low humidity for a while it is over long periods that can cause issues.

Cheers m8 it’s been painted white Matt on the inside too so not sure if that would start running and don’t want it to get shitty and mouldy like I think u meant

i'll upload a few pics now m8 there not great quality as i'm using an old phone to take them so not that clear the only problems i've had is the quick one leaned over alot when it was young so i tied it back with some string and that seems ok now so i removed it but some leaves have started to twist i hope u can see it and the tips on some have gone a bit yellow or browny a bit, but it can't be down to nutes as i haven't started them yet cheers

They look fine to me think i would have filled the pots more or folded them down abit more. Also i think you might find as the plants get bigger the humidity will rise and with this time of year and summer approaches it does normally increase i have found if you are in the U.K.

thanks m8 this is my first ever grow so i'm trying to just water them and forget about them as much as i can so i don't make anymore noobie mistakes lol, yes i'm in the uk m8 and i thought the exact same thing about the pots a few days ago but i'll remember it for next time, i'm just a bit worried at my light heights i'm running a mars 300 (i know it's not really 300) and a big 300w dual spec cfl
cheers

Maybe keeping your temps low,say 19c at root level and a low speed fan moving the air above that will have the effect of bringing the RH up without fking up your other enviro variables.

obviously youll then run into slow/stalled growth if temps run all over the place or too low but balancing extract etc should help keep things level.

maybe bringing air in from outside or a basement etc ? will also raise the rh.

spots and general ill health and mankyness are common where theres low rh(i believe a plant endlessly expirates[sweats] through its leaves in a low rh enviroment,losing its nutes etc),i just have to ignore it all and focus on fixing the humdity as number one priority,hopefully slow the plant from feeding+expirating too fast,and hopefully plants will catch up and resume healthy growth.
they normally do ok n manky leaves i just lop off ,what i cant see wont hassle me

good luck chap,i often have battles with humidity ,tis a pitfa.well,that and getting fresh clean air infeed

Cheers m8 I’ve got an oscillating fan blowing air around already m8 and never knew that about them sweating I have 0 experience with plants Lol, I’m just learning as I’m going along

What size is your growdrobe brother, your plants look fine for now but you really need to get the Rh up, you have a lot going against you with it being wood and matt paint i've tried all the bowls of water and damp towels and none of them worked for me the only real fix is a humidifier turned onto minimum but this could be detrimental to your drobe you gotta pick the lesser of the two evils bro' all the best mate, G'.
