    Default Really low humidity!

    Eyup chaps, I'm after a few tips and tricks to help raise humidity in my grow room.

    Room size is 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 give or take and in the loft. Had humidity steady at around 40% - 50% during flower without using my humidifier (one of those Maplin 5 litre jobbies). Temps fluctuate between mid 20's to high teens during lights on and off.
    I've just popped some seedlings into pots and humidity is very low, below 30% last night IIRC.
    Ramped up the humidifier to the 3rd setting to see if it makes a difference which I'll check later but I don't have the opportunity to top up the humidifier every night which I imagine it will need on a higher setting.
    Is there anything I can do to supplement the humidifier? Also the room isn't particularly air tight so would sealing it better make a difference? I read somewhere it can but I will wait to hear what the experts on here say
    I've also got the main oscillating fan sort of blowing over the outlet of the humidifier, would this dry it out at all? Bit of a long shot that one but I don't recall humidity being so low before and I have rejigged my room slightly so summat is out of kilter.

    Help
    Let's get it on!

    The easiest method is grab yourself a humidifier from Argos they don't break the bank cost wise,also try spreading wet towels on a couple of trays

    Wet towels bring the humidity up mate. I had the same issue during veg and couldn’t get my humidity higher than 39% but the wet towels got me up to 60%

    Pro breeze do a humidifier. Like £30 I think, I've had mine for 1½ years and is still going strong.

    bein a tight ass doesnt always pay off though haha.

    also consider your temps, usually higher/to high temps will result in lower rh, bring down temp a couple notches will bump up rh a little
