Are you growing in a tent if so how high do you have the exhaust fan set. If yes and high then lower the exhaust and thatll help the tent build humidity. If no then you need a more contained growing area if you have any wish of uping humidity in the middle of winter. Oh you used celcius , australian? same solution though basically

Might be best to make/buy plastic domes for your seedlings. Mist inside the dome with a spray bottle, then place over each seedling. I used 16 oz water bottles. 2-3l clear soda/drink bottles would probably be best. It’s dry, cold air here, so I struggled keeping humidity up the first few weeks as well. You’ll only need them during seedling stage, and it really helped mine thrive while they were on.

I relocated my humidifier (cheap 1gallon Walmart brand) to corner diagonal from exhaust fan and got an increase. A large bowl of water did nothing for my numbers. Moved it around. Placed fan in front of it. Nothing. Hung a towel from above, dipped into the large bowl of water, with a fan blowing on the bowl/towel did help.

Pics of your set up would help Growmie. At that age I would place a clear solo cup over each one, mist the leaves and inside the cups. Turn the exhaust fan off and they don’t need a lot of lighting at this point. I use a small T5 fluorescent light. You can also soak a towel and lay it in the tent floor :love_you_gesture:
