Humidity

Hi. I know there are some obvious answers to this question, but what is the best way of increasing humidity whilst using HPS? 20% is too low judging by what I read. Thanks for any replies.

Get a humidifier. 20% humidity is like the desert! What is your temperature at? I know a lot of foliar feeding and watering will get it nice and humid. Just watch out for that light of yours because it will definately blow if you get water on it.

Thanks for replying. Temp is around 30 degrees C, which I know is too hot but there's not too much I can do about that. I'm misting them regularly and they're about 1m away from a 400w light, so although it's a bit too hot in there, they seem to be coping.

sounds like you need more ventilation, look into exhaust blowers for ur 400w. itll drop the temp a cuple degrees. and as far as humidity goes, u definitely need a humidifier, trichomes produce better when humidity is higher.
