The problem is CFLs don't really produce enough heat to bring up humidity do they ?

I'm sitting at 25-29 degrees Celsius at an average for heat in tent.

your buddy isnt giving bad info. its kinda one thing to know what numbers you need aim for, its another knowing how to get there

CFL are some of the least efficient lights we have available for growing with. not all watts are equal. but for now lets just get the seedling happy buddy. 60% should make a visible difference to growth over a day or 2 man :D

I tried the wet towel trick with a fan blowing against it and a bowl of water with fan.

It's staying around 46% humidity.

I don't know what to do.

Daily update photos

Some leaves are curling and one plant the leaves are changing colour or being eaten or something ?

I've got two of them on nutes and two not on nutes

I have 2 fans running, temps are around 28c
Humidity around 50%

New Horizon Peat Free + Verbiculite.

I'm not going to water for a day or so, will wait until they feel lighter / dry.

How do they all look in your opinion ?

Temps seem to keep around 28c I have two fans in there circulating some air, couple of pouches open for airflow aswell.

I'll abstain from watering for a day or so.

I've managed to get humidity to 50-55% and I'm just going to let it do its own thing now.

I'm not using any type of extraction at the moment I need to make that aware, it's too loud I'm going to make a speed controller.

This grow has never had an extractor / filter running.
