Even as low as 30% is OK.. they'll even produce more THC when the air is dry, they use it as a defense mechanism against drying out. At least it's what i've read (and from my own experience as well) 30% humidity works great in flowering.

Bucket(s) of water, a fan standing behind them. That's a cheap alternative that works very well and it's how a humidifier works in practice (at least the one i have)...

my grow area is pretty small so if i jus used a bowl instead of a bucket will that work and should i put boiling water in it?

Ok, quick BIO 101 lesson:

With a higher relative humidity, it is relative due to the temperature.. google it, the leaves will grow wider since the plant will need to breathe more with that much moisture in the air. When the RH is lower the leaves will be smaller since the won't need a lot of surface area to breathe.

Now, if you want ample light penetration through the canopy a lower RH is for you.

If you want more resin, a lower RH is for you. This plant will produce more resin during its flowering cycle in order to trap in moisture.

MY estimations, and currently used, RH for:

Seedling/cloning - 60-70%
Vegging - 40-50%
Flowering - 30-40%

i have a green house and i am worried that it gets to high. my only current methods of prevention are an exhaust fan and watering at night.

Just put tapwater into a bowl or bucket depending on grow area. Spray them once in a while if you know your humidity is low, but don't do it directly after watering them, too much water kills them.

awesome feedback, i just want to say thank you to all the riu crew, and appreciate your "love". keep the grows comming and the growin growing! peace

Use a cooking sheet or some container that has allot of surface space in front of a fan so the water can evaporate faster and ajust from there. Mine stays about 40 to 45%

With the right lights you should experience a wonderful grow!
