Growing in a Humidity Tent

[Paradoxic]

A humidity tent is a large, humidity controlled environment. They are excellent for maintaining high humidity for Salvia divinorum. It is just a large, enclosed humidity-controlled environment. You may be able to find one at a gardening store, but they are usually expensive and small. If you can find something else that would work, maybe a shade or bug tent, you can use that as well.

An ideal tent has no bottom but is otherwise fully enclosed and has high-quality zippers for entrance. If your tent will be outside and is not already shaded, you will need to drape shade cloth over it. You can also make an indoor humidity tent and place it by a window. For some a fine screen and regular misting will keep the humidity high enough, but if not you will need to cover your tent with plastic sheeting. However, in most places its a good idea to cover your tent with plastic in the winter months to keep up humidity and temperature. Something to keep in mind if you use plastic sheeting is to make sure the plant gets some fresh air in there regularly. If you don't ventilate it every-so-often the plant will likely develop problems such as browning leaf edges.

A good way to keep humidity and temperature ideal inside your tent is to set up some misters on a timer. Set them to go on for 3-5 minutes a few times everyday.

yeah venting is key, plants use co2 and photosythesize into thier jazz and when there is too much O2 in the tent it gets bad, just circulate it out mabey even blow into the tent with some good deep breaths, all ur warm moist breath would be good.

Oh yeah thats a good idea, heheh. I like that too it seems like a cool way to sorta connect with your plants.

Heheh, cool. Creative chamber design. Feel free to post a grow log for your plant. It looks like it should root fine. But if you got them like that from eBay thats definitely pretty lame.

 DO NOT USE GREEN BOTTLES AS HUMIDITY TENTS the reason you see green when you look at a leaf, is because it is the only color reflected out of the visible spectrum, all the other light is absorbed and used for chemical reactions within the plant, so if you have a green bottle all the color is absorbed into the bottle but green, then the bottle only letting the green light through reaches the plant, which reflects all of that light so, basically almost no light is making it into the plant, hurting it!!!
