So am i the only person that uses theses in the grow room. They cost like $60 to buy them. But I get them for free at my work we pulled them off the back of containers when we unload them. They just throw them away I decided to bring some home with me. They're made with calcium chloride to help absorb moisture.CAM00711.jpg

plaaces like cali and arizona and shit generally require adding humidity.. sometimes hydro growers require supplementing because theres not a lot of water that leaves into the room.. like on flood and drains or aero.. it creates a lot less humidity than running soil... soil is always evaporating moisture back into the air. but like here in michigan it can get really humid in some peoples rooms depending on how their setup in the springs and falls.. generally summers good and fairly dry here.. but the supplementing really will depend on where you are your room .. soil or hydro and the air thats being brought into your room.. if you bring in outdoor air like here right now it would be coming in at 80-100% humidity its been raining the last 3 days here.

I'm Not Spending anything. I get them off the back of containers that we unload at my work. I was just listing the price of them online.

I'm only on my second grow but like i said they droped the humidity. theyhave been in there for aboout two weeks and probably have about 3 or 4 cups of water in them. and yes they have about ten of them on every container and we get 2 or 3 a week

huh... ever notice that they suck too much out at all?
not yet I'm sure diffrent enviroments would be effected diffrently. i think i need a new temp/humidity meter. I'm not sure if mine is reading right it says its 80 in there some times when it feels like 70
