My humidifier broke down. And living in the country it takes a while to get a new one shipped to me so here is my temporary fix. Humidity in the house is 27.1% since the furnace takes all the water out of the air. So I got it up to 44.7% with rags and water bowls. It kept my VPD perfect.

Nice solution! I’m having a hard time getting my RH above 16% at the moment.

I’d trade either of you for growing reasons since I have to unzip the tent in late flowering for 6 dark hours a day, to get the RH back down in the 60%s with the fans blasting…I could easily grow 30-40% more every cycle, in my same space, with humidity like you folks have

I thought about using a big spong in a bowl, one that I clean the car with. But tried this first. It’s a winner.

Ingenuity at its finest. Been below zero outside the last few days. Needless to say the heat is pumping and the air is about as dry as can be.

I’m not a big fan of the Vicks style humidifiers. Seems like every time you turn around it breaks. A couple of years ago I got sick of it and decided I was not going to spend another $40 on a humidifier.
I built an old school mushroom. room humidifier. It sits outside the tent pumps the humidity in and it will take it from zero to 100 in just 14 seconds.
Takes no room from your tent. I made a big one for about a 150 bucks more suitable for larger spaces. You can scale it down for about a hundred bucks or less.
Nothing goes wrong with it ever. Clean it once a month. I use my used dehumidifier water to fill my tank. I put a half a bottle of peroxide in there to keep the germs out. Other than that it’s solid as a rock!
Food for thought

Don’t forget to add a little H2O2 to your water bowls to keep the algae away….

That was my solution as well. Been running one for 5-6 years now.

Thanks you
There was a time I struggled with keeping rh up and my wife has these things in every room she puts smelly oil in right.
Well turns out if you put just water in them, they pump out steam 
I put them outside the tent by the intake holes and they made a good difference when i could remember to keep them refilled. But they worked till I got a humidifier.
If they held more water they could have worked permanently they put out a good bit.

Below 30-F, my heat pump does not pump heat, the coil comes on, big.
Nice Swamp cooler method devised.
