humidifier

So the first problem with the box is controlling the humidity. I have the timer on the humidifier set to go every 2 hours for 15min. It raises the humidity to 80% during that time span, but then it tinkers off to 30% before it's time for it to kick back on. If I set the timer too often, I'll be...

Went to Home Depot today to prep for tomorrow's package. It was almost impossible to find a T12 light fixture, and next to impossible to find T8 lights. So after buying the last 2 - T12 fixtures at an old hardware store, and picking up a couple 35w T12 24" Sunshine lights.. it all worked out. I...

Hello! About two months ago or so I returned to the wondrous Terraforums to report I would like to grow carnivorous plants again. After extensive research, I set it aside so I wouldn't become obsessed. Now, I'm retaking the mantle since I have money to fund my project. I bought a cool-mist...

Well since I let the cat outta the bag on the spray foam thread about my upcoming project I will show you the new material I'm going to build my double stack Highland vivarium and greenhouse terrarium out of. This is called AZEK PVC Trimboard, which is a waterproof "wood" made from PVC...

So, I have 2 humidifiers. One is programmable, but settings only go up to 50%. This used to sit in my office at work until I convinced the boss we needed a bigger one for the whole front office. Mine now. The other is manual, you must turn it on and off. What a drag. Has anyone obtained a...

I recently purchased an ultrasonic humidifier. When I received it, I immediately tried it out and nothing... I read the directions of course and re-read them a few times. I checked the water level, tried many different containers and nada. When I got home from work a few days ago, my son who...

A month or so back my ol' reliable Reli-On brand humidifier from Wally World died. Up till now I had been getting about one year's use from this model. This was with it running anywhere from 18 to 14hrs per day, every day (RO water only). I would run down to walmart, pay 25-ish dollars and get...

Hi, all! The other day, I noticed that all of the pitchers' lids on my Hummer's Giant were closed. From the knowledge I've gained from several of you, I thought it simply to be a humidity problem, as I saw my humidity gauge had registered 30% at one point, and my humidifier was running...? I...

Playing with a new toy, the FLIR Model T360 I have no idea what Im doing yet, but its fun... I'm sure a good cp based thermal study can be made, but I have to learn how first. Next week I will be attending a class to get my certificaiton in forward looking infrared thermography.. maybe we can...

TF, My humidifier is shot. Sounds like im killing a walrus cub. My brita filter...is a brita filter and now broken. Ive pumped in ~$30 a month into that bad boy. So, long story short, i need a humidifier and an R/O unit ASAP in this nice and warm cali weather. I can do practically anything...

I have recently made a 4'L x 2'D x 3'H chamber out of lumber. I then covered it with clear painters canvas to keep heat and humidity inside. I put 2 4' t-12's and they keep the chamber at a constant 80 when on. I have recently been researching and have found Holmes products to be enough to keep...

I was looking at Ebay for a pre-wired humdistat for my highland chamber and came across a device made by Zoomed reptile supplies which will control both temp and humidity devices called the Hygrotherm here's the ad for it...

I've been out of Neps for a couple years but after starting with Lithops and Cacti I've gotten the plants back in the blood! So this is the highland Nep/Orchid & CP chamber I want to setup, I will have 3 times the floor space of my old highland chamber with this design and mounted mini orchids...

Well I couldn't stay unpotted for long, I've been percolating the idea of a new highland nep/orchid/cp chamber here's the initial blue prints: The shelves are 4 ft L x 2 ft W x 6 ft H - spaced 2 ft apart Braces/frame will be built of 1" x 4" pine The actual shelves will be egg crate to allow...

Well, after the arrival of the new plants, i figured id redo my rack. Being that the rajah probably has the tallest vine of all my neps o_O it looks better standing straight up and now receives direct lighting. ANYWAYS what i did originally my smaller plants had been only a few inches from the...

I've been having MAJOR problems with algae, fungus, mold, etc in my little grow rack and it has been suggested several times that it could be due to poor air flow. I have a humidifier in the rack itself and had hoped that the movement from that would be enough air circulation, but alas, I still...

Hi, everyone. Longtime reader, first time poster. I have 4 nepenthes that I am growing on a windowsill in Denver. As those of you in the area know, this means low humidity and very strong sun. I know the best solution to all of my questions is probably to put them in a terrarium with lights...

So my vent has outgrown it's home! Which makes me happy and concerned. Happy cause i am able to make it thrive! Now, i have been told it is very forgiving,and i alreay have another one in my living room with the other houseplants(and it's doing fine and pitchering), but do you guys think it'll...

if i get a humidifier, will it mess with my electronics? i got alot of electronic stuff in my room.

Contrary to belief, nepenthes are quite hardy as im sure alot of you know. but a few people have recently asked me how i grow mine outside during the summer months here in the Northwestern US. As many people know, Western Washington is part of a temperate rainforest, and the temperatures in...
