I use a container with water and a terracotta plant pot set in it with a fan to help with humidity.
I also wet my floor down.
Maybe a wet towel on the floor of your tent will help.
Doesn't have to be fancy or expensive to work.

I’ve done that too. Coffee can with water and a clip fan too.

I found sticking a head of lettuce in a red cup or 1 gallon soft pot and growing it gave enough humidity that I have since done it three times. Any leafy plant would probably work if you have the room.

Here’s a pic of the scope I use.


A few pics from tonight, freehand.


I included the bad/fuzzy ones so you can see what to expect. I change the resolution/magnification once in a while. Mostly I leave it until I accidentally move it.

Hope it helps you decide.

Issue after issue, adjustment after adjustment, they are starting to grow now.

increased ppm from 100-250 to 300-600 range, @ around 16k lux/300PPFD from 10k lux

More green color coming in, want to keep the node spacing tighter on these.

What brand?

 

[Zen_seeker]

How long before you remove the straw? You just cut it out I assume?

You trying to keep humidity up or add some mist/fog to the grow?

Oh, once they stand up straight enough on there own, or i just leave it till a stimum fully grows into into it.

I've had terrible growth rate due to overwatering and some other issues, and then low humidity really hinders em

I get ticked when it’s hard to get the trichomes in the right spot. I’ll push into the buds. So I have to use a ISO wipe once in a while to clean the clear plastic shroud.

Even five years ago I’d be better with it. But eyes and body and patience are all a little worn now.

I doubt you’d have any issues. However if your like me you might be tempted to modify and see if you could improve it. My wife has noticed that since I started needing/wearing glasses I don’t dismantle new toys like I used too.

The battery life is great so far. Never had to recharge, but I plug it in once or twice a season anyway. These are the two free apps I use. Mostly the one on the left.

Thanks man appreciate it

Do you have to have wifi for it?

I don't expect much from a 20-40 USB microscope but there's plenty of options, want to find the best one.

 

[Observer]

I cant find my glasses....

Working too good, have it on timer 20 mins off 10 secs on

Ya, but it’s on off self connection. Only on for short random periods so not a big deal.

For $50cnd I can’t complain.

I’ve used a waterfall in a larger room when it got to dry.

Don’t think I’ve ever owned a humidifier.

 

[Observer]

Took me way to long to get these "dialed" in to where they'll actually grow properly.

Was not paying enough attention to them, being gone, etc. But now I'm finally getting them just right.

The Art of Manual Balancing Parameters...

Starting to look better and actually grow now.


I hindered them through either, a combo of things, too much PPFD, energy (temperature), too low of RH/fucked off VPD 15%~ humidity, and overwatering, , but now there back on track about.

That disc works great for making you're own humidifier lol, just might need it on ia timer or ENV controller.

If I walk out with the tent sealed up and no exhaust fan leaving the disc on, 5 minutes later it's at 100% rh lol

Trying to keep it around 80F air/ambient, 77-78F LST (leaf surface temp) , and 65-75 RH


All "manual" "balancing" , no ENV controller (environmental)

I’ve used a bunch of things over the last few years. Usually a coffee can of water in front of the intake fan is enough. Other times I’ve added a leafy plant like a lettuce and that was enough.

My biggest issue is not having a sealed room. The tents are basically in a room shaped hallway. We adapt as we can.

I put hot water in a tote and that brought the humidity up to 99 lol

Yea, mines just stuck in a closet but planning on moving it to my vuddies house soon.

In the basement bathroom I close the door and hang plants to dry in the shower.

I use a clip fan and a sink full of hot water to keep things at 60% & 20*. Works well most of the time.

Finally getting these in the right direction


Besides everything else, it seems the difficulty level goes up a little bit depending on time dedicated to monitoring, basically.

As, in its such a small container, variables can change quickly, and its still easy to overwater when they are young.

besides the other main issues like temperature and RH along with PPFD, it'd either be too cold in the closet or too hot and dry like 79-84F, and 16%~RH,

but since I started putting the fogger in there thats helped it get in line, and having the proper PPFD, I was a little/bit high at one point with the PPFD too, causing further stress, and stunting growth, considering the VPD.

Being away and overwatering because I don't want them to dry out while I'm away/not able to tend to them, they can dry out pretty quickly especially when roots are finally getting established and drinking more along with the heat and airflow being up.

And not to mention proper e.c and ratio ranges to correlate the other variables....

I'll get them healthier then flip soon.

 

[Observer]

More difficult to keep the root zone variables just right since they're so small, I'm thinking, again, besides the other variables (ENV), Just 20ml shot solo cups or so.

E.C, pH and VWC% volumetric Water Content %


Ideally at this point, probably 5ml~ of Nutrient Solution every 4 hours or so, once properly dried back and on the right pattern for such variables, without a WC% sensor and everything being automated in RW or coco bags.

I keep walking away with the fogger plugged in, I'll get distracted and then come back and check 10-30 Mins later or so and the 2v4 is at 99% RH and basically a cloud.

Replace it. A short in a phone charger not so bad. In a normal power cord…fire hazard. You don’t need that.

Buy the plug, cut the cable and replace it yourself in 5 minutes. You’ve had enough bad luck.

Have you tried putting in a timer for say, 1 minute on and 5 minutes off? These work great for suit like this and are cheap!

 

[Observer]

I had it on a digital timer, then I needed to start doing it manually because the tent would hold steady for the most part now, but I'd get distracted lol
