...well it seems I was being optimistic in that last post...the humidifier didn't raise the humidity at all...I've got a wet towel stretched along one side of the tent, three black plastic trays with water in, and the humidifier sitting next to the intake because there isn't room in the tent. But the fact remains that the ruck100 with phat filter is pulling somewhere in the region of 200 cubic metres per hour (this is just a guess...I've got no idea how much the filter affects it) through the tent, and no simple method can keep up with that rate of exchange...so the question is, do I really need that much air? If the tent is 2 cubic metres then the air is changing 100 times every hour. This doesn't seem unreasonable at all because I've read about people growing with 400 changes per hour, and the temperature will be too high if I lower the rate of extraction...hmm...
Current RH:
At soil level = 28%
Midway between plant tops and light = 23%
Covered with propagator lid (seedlings) = 44%
Temp is consistent between 80-85f measured in four places.
