90°F in the shade is fine if your humidity is 50/60% or above. Leave it out. Remember the wind will beat up really dry leaf badly. (Tell your Mrs. she owes me one. LOL)Just thought id show a string of my second prime of my v g,well as much as I can fit in my dining room,the Mr an't to happy tho...but I bet she'll still b keen to smoke it,so she'll just have to put up with it.It's getting way to hot in the shed(about 40c-86f?)and to hot the back deck(37c- 84f) so ive had to bring it inside trying to keep it at about 25-30c/75-80f?)otherwise its drying to much to quick

90°F = 32.2°C. 40°C=104°F What is the shed floor? If dirt, wet it down too. If concrete old carpet wet down good works fine too.yeah its hard trying to keep the humidity up,iv got buckets hanging off rags so the rags work like wicks to create a bit more moisture,and wrap plastic round them wen its to dry??do u know is 90f ova 40C??
You'll get humidity and some cooling from evaporation.Yeah well its gets up ova 104f in shed ,and that must mean about 95f in shade on back deck..thats to hot isnt it?
Sorry...sheds concrete,ill try wet carpet,iv got some old stuff laying round somewhere
Any idea what your average rel. humidity is? What is your water supply and how expensive is it? I color cure in a closed sun porch with pretty good luck. How tight is the garage>My sheds.just a tin roof and sided car garage concrete floor,roller front door and side door entry- the worst thing about it is- round here I cant really even leave it open wen im not home or at night...cause ill probably end up with no tools ,no lawnmower,and my car stolen!!not good
In that case I'd consider Knucks sprinkler suggestion. Low flow or a timed solenoid or maybe even a temperature controlled solenoid. The sprinkler would also help increase the humidity a bit.humiditys is usually abou 50-60% water not to much of an issue,and the sheds about 7 1/2 meters long by 4 1/2 meters wide,and not insulated.
And the back porch is all open with clear plastic roof,I've cover the plastic with a tarp. to keep the heat(sun) down(out)its usually about 94-96f when its hot
