Inline Fan lowering Humidity too low

The inline fan in the tent is lowering the humidity way too low. It hovers around 15-25%. The 5 plants that are in there are curling their leaves up like a taco. There are two jugs of water there to help raise the humidity but they are barely doing anything. What can be done? :?: :sad:

Here are some pics of the setup

keep food levels very low, so your plants can drink and transpire without over feeding

looks like high heat and high fert problems. my humidity doesnt get higher than 30% and that hasnt hurt anything. its been that way for years already.

the base of the lightbulb is the hottest point. that top is right in it. i would raise your light, you should see it get less stressed within a few hours. same thing happens to me with mine. all the other tops seem decent. thats the giveaway that its not humidity related

Try hooking the fan onto the light....That has got to be hot dry air coming from the light....

I had the same problem. I opened the window in the room where the tent is located and my humidity shot to 60%. Problem solved = open a window.

The light was raised about 4-5 inches yesterday afternoon and it doesn't to have seemed to help. Since it's in a tent, a window can't be opened. The bottom ventilation of the tent is open as well as another vent hole.

I guess they won't be fed with any nutes on the next watering to see how it goes!
