I have a 2x4 tent and have purchased 3 different humidifiers one that was digital and did the jib but wouldn't work with my inkbird, took it back and pick up two others that don't even bring my humidity up in my tent. Any suggestions on good humidifiers that work with an InkBird?

What wasnt working with the Inkbird? When it cycled it wouldn’t turn on? Make sure your humidifier is going into the right plug, I think it’s work 2?

I use THIS one with my Inkbird, gets the job done, but had one crap out after one grow.
Generally have to top it off once a day @ 65% RH.

You leave it in the highest setting and what size tent do you have?

Yea I leave it turned to the highest setting and let the Inkbird meter decide when it needs to be on. I’m in a 2x2.
But I think any humidifier should work as long as you leave the power / adjustment dial on

Well I have a 90$ Lowes Humidifier called the Vornado says it does 600sq foot, it's in my 2x4 tent set on 60% RH on high setting and my tent still at 40-45 percent....20210805_155312.jpg

Just looking at the box I noticed “auto-humidity control”
Any chance the humidifier is set lower than the Inkbird controller?

I don't have an Inkbord plugged into it right now. I just don't get why I have thr humidifier set to 60 percent and my humidity is only at 42 percent.

where are you getting the 42% reading?
Without knowing your grow space it’s hard to say.
When the humidifier is plugged into the Inkbird just watch to see if it automatically turns off.
IF it has trouble reaching the set point you could adjust air intake / exhaust or circulation fan to try to keep it more consistent.

Even in my grow space my hygrometer reads lower humidity than the inkbird, but the sensor and the hygrometer are also on different sides of the tent.
but I’m more concerned about keeping my temps regulated than humidity pinpointed. As long as I know I have some humidity in there.

I have a 67 Bluetooth remote with my AC Cloudline exhaust fan.

Did you try setting the humidity threshold on the humidifier any higher? Maybe because of your exhaust/intake fans it isn't working properly? Just a thought, never used inkbird before. I know you struggle with high temps so turning the exhaust fan off to raise humidity isn't really an option here.

Yah man I got AC going into my tent now so it stays 79-83 degrees. With this one humidifer I was trying out it worked awesome and brought my tenos down a few I would stay around 78-81. But it wouldn't work with a timer so I took it back and bought two others that did work eith a time but my tent gets hot with these two and it doesn't raise my humpty at all. So I may just go back to thr first humidifer I bought and just have to set it everyday and turn it down at night.
