So i have some little guys going right now and i had them under 125w cfl for the first 3 weeks and they're doing great. So being that this is only my 2nd grow and i fought with this problem the first time, and im still very wet behind the ears haha. Last night i changed over to my 400w ballast with mh, and mind you im growing in a small tent that is 48x24x66 (i think), anyways the heat that comes from the mh zaps out every bit of humidity i have, even with humidifier running its at like 20%. I live in upper michigan so considering its 17 below out right now, it is very dry season in the winter.. if anyone has any tips or tricks, i would appreciate it. money is tight so i can't just run out and buy some crazy awesome climate control system haha. anyways, thanks much to all or anyone that responds :smoke:

If you can get a bigger humidifier that would help, but they can get pricey.
What light schedule you running? I run 18/6 instead of 20/4 during low humidity times. The xtra two hours of no light and cooler temps bring your RH up for 6 hours at least.
You can hang up moist towels with a fan blowing across them in the tent. It's a pain to switch them out and make sure they're clean, but it can help. Hmmm, several glasses of water sitting about in the tent, they'll evaporate and create humidity, but again, you gotta switch them out and keep them clean too.
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. I have 2 2 liter pitchers filled with water with airstones in them so it kinda bubbles, and I am at 18/6. everything I've read says 18/6 is probably the best for autoflowers. yea I wish I could get a nice humidifier, all I have is a little one for a room. I don't think I have a crappy setup I put probably close to 800 into it, hoping it pays off in the long run. I have a bunch of pics of my setup that I will post under my profile, I had it all setup on rollitup.org and I was told that this is the place to be, and so far I do like it 
thanks for the suggestions
