You put a bucket or two of water in the grow area if you have space.You could also get a small humidifier or mister and try that.

Dude mist them good then cut the bottom of a plastic bottle ( with lid on ) and simply place over them, acts as a humidity dome! this will help for now but you would need to invest in a mini humidifier to really bump up humidity hopes this helps also just lift bottle up to replenish fresh air and mist as needed! Good luck dude i grown AKR she is a sturdy plant and a great smoke! :smoke:

Yes. One of my problems I have had lately, but not all of them. When your humidity is too low or to high the stomata on your plants close up. So they aren't releasing any excess moisture or air, thus not pulling any in from the roots, thus stunting. I have had a lot of issues with low humidity 20-30-% and I had to get a humidifier to put near the intake of the my tent and now I am up to about 40-50% lights on and even higher lights out. And this is much better. I still want a bigger/better humidifier to keep it even higher.

45-70% during veg and 35-50% during flowering.

You can also hang wet towels up in your tent and place saucer and containers of water that will evaporate into the air. They work better when a fan is blowing across it.

[The Squid]

No you should be fine with the HPS, if you had T5HO's I would say switch but you're good.
