humidity 24% too low?

[Zaphod Beetlecocks]

Doing a little grow in my closet, the humidity hovers between 24-25%
Is that low for plants in veg?

Yes, they like more humidity. don't stress too much, just raise it if you can.

I hear lower humidity during flower produces more resin.

Even if flowering ya still want it at least 40 percent.

I have like four or five bowls of water just sitting there.

 

[wiseguy316]

go to a thrift store humidifiers are cheap.

Way to low you want it about 50 to 60% with the exception of the last 2 weeks of flower than lower is better as it does trigger more resin production to help stop transpiration due to low humility.

I've heard that if the temp in the room is higher you want a lower humidity. I have my temp at about 95 and my humidity at 10% and they are flourishing.

Actually, that's all wrong. The higher the temp is, the more water it can hold.. but it is not recommended to have humidity that low..

Good article... i think I might go out and get a humidifier. I was assuming with the humidity it would create a hotter environment for them, which at 95 degrees I'm trying to avoid.

IM also around 25% !!!! Yikes...... 5 days in to my first flower cycle. IM planning on putting a humidifier in my flower room but i was wondering if it would also be wise to put one in the room i pull my air from, sorta as a climate control????

anyhow i was wondering if anyone else has some crafty ideas on how to raise humidity levels.......
