A Great Humidifier

I found on this forums a suggestion and researched and followed it through, I must say without spending $50+ on a digital humidifier the Crane Affordable Series Specifically the Penguin model puts out A LOT of cool mist.

Before I was running several prototype grow room humidifiers. The first was a vicks cool mist model that shot the mist directly vertical. This raised to about 35% and had me worrying about the bulb burning out. :x
I switched to a mistless humidifier by vicks and then a warm mist humidifier by some company I cannot remember and they both failed to keep it above 30%. This is a 3' x 3' x 12' plastic'd off closet.

The Crane Penguin not only kills thes units by keeping the humidity at a awesome 45% with the machine only on halfway, full produced 60% easily.

I know someone already gave this unit praise and by all means all credit goes to him for my reconfirmation. I just wanted to post as it is a very cheap way to gain correct humidity levels on small-medium applications. All specs on the unit say 1 gallon but it is actually 2.1, just a little FYI the company isnt too bright when it comes to packaging but they made one heck of a childs humidifier.

side note: be careful how high you leave this thing on I tested it on high just to see what it would do in 1 hour and the humidity was at 91% LOL good thing I can basically vent the room in 5 seconds. Just thought people would like a heads up! Make sure you are watching your unit :) once you get it down it should be like cake.

It is super effective the thing puts out incredible amounts of cool mist, and if the water is under your light the mist is more like room temp than cool anyways!

I am looking into getting a plug in humidistat in order to control humidity levels as during the night with no heat or light requires the machine to be turned down and turned back up during the day. It just puts out so much that at night it become overwhelming and you will spike up to 90% humidity no problem in small enclosures.
