Okay - I'l disagree. I mist almost every day. I used a hand pump air pressure sprayer that puts out a very fine mist and use lightly. I definitely see an increase in humidity in the area, which is a big plus for me!

Diane, how long does the increase in humidity last for you??
I used to grow in my home and when the central heating was on, in the winter, trying to keep the humidity was totally impossible with misting and humidity trays. I then started to run a very large humidifier that would add 3 gallons of water a day to my sun room and still I couldn't get the humidity in my grow area above 40%.
Thank goodness that I now have access to a greenhouse. I can now grow things that I couldn't even dream of before.
Ron,
I have a 3 gal/day humidifier that keeps it at about 39 - 45%. With twice daily misting and humidity trays in a couple places I can keep it at least at 50%. My mister puts out a mist almost a fine as the humidifier, and I spray the whole area, not just the plants.
