Reddit reviews Pure Enrichment MistAire Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier - Premium Humidifying Unit with 1.5L Water Tank, Whisper-Quiet Operation, Automatic Shut-Off and Night Light Function - Lasts Up to 16 Hours

:( That does sound hectic. My registry is kinda all over the place because I've already bought a ton of stuff, but just some suggestions of some things (FTM so no idea really if these are good or not, some were recommendations from friends, some were recommendations from various online resources).

• car seat, extra base if you have more than one car, and stroller
  
• baby carrier - I got the ergobaby 360 with infant insert but the Lillebaby 360 is also super popular.
  
• swaddles - aden & anais seem to be hugely popular.
  
• bathing supplies - washcloths, bathtub
  
• first aid kit supplies - NoseFrida, nail clipper, thermometer
  
• feeding - bottles, sterilizer (some people told me I had to have it, some said it was totally unnecessary), bottle cleaner brush, drying rack (seems like everyone else loves the Boon grass, but I don't have the counter space!) You can get a pump through your insurance if you plan to breastfeed, I ordered mine through Aeroflow. I ultimately chose the Spectra S2 over the Medela PISA because it's a closed system, which apparently means less chances of bacteria getting into the system and thus easier cleaning.
  
• burp clothes - I was told to just get a ton of cloth diapers to use as burp clothes, and to have them everywhere.
  
• diaper pail - I have two friends who say this is good enough, so I went with it. They also said to use doggie poop bags to contain the smelly diapers.
  
• humidifier
  
• Boppy for nursing
  
• Backpack style diaper bag
  
• baby may need a more convenient place to be set down other than the crib, something you can have near you in the kitchen, shower, whatever. Popular options are the rock n play, Boppy lounger, or a pack 'n play. I plan on getting the Chicco FastAsleep pack 'n play because the crib/dresser/changing station is on our 2nd floor, so I figured this could double as a changing station/napper on the first floor.
  
  Lucie's List is probably the best resource I found online.

I personally try and stay away from anything with a filter. I also doubt any of today's humidifiers could be considered BIFL, as they all take some sort of routine cleaning and upkeep. We have a house full of these, and love them:

I got this one, but there’s probably cheaper options! I think they’re all about the same lol

I think your routine looks pretty good. My recommendations would be to add a moisturizing toner with hyaluronic acid twice a day, switch to a non-foaming cleanser, and add an occlusive at the end of your routine.

Also, because you’re in the desert, I would strongly recommend buying a humidifier. I live in a tropical environment (Florida) and I still sleep with my humidifier on high every night. It helps so much.

You mentioned your skin being sensitive: I am too, and all of the below products have not bothered me at all. Don’t use the honey mask if you’re allergic to bees.

Links to products:

• Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Toner
  
• Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gentle Cleansing Lotion
  
• CosRX Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask This is what I use as my occlusive, but a thin layer of plain Vaseline works fine too, it’s just messier.
  
• Humidifier

The AC unit will act as a dehumidifier as well. I got a 12k btu device that I keep in the tent and I vent the hot air from it into the duct that pulls heat through my lamp and out through the carbon filter into my laundry room. Similar to this one.

This setup has been flawless in my 5x5x7.

I got my start mainly from Hank Shaw's awesome blogs entries at https://honest-food.net/ as well as

http://mattikaarts.com/blog/meat-curing-at-home-the-setup/

Wine fridges usually operate in a ~45-55 degree range which is a perfect temperature for curing meats

Add in a better humidifier controller such as

and an ultrasonic humidifier such as

and you're 99% there!

Craigslist / Kijiji is your friend

It's a cool mist one, and it's pretty small, but our bedroom is fairly small. It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/MistAire-Ultrasonic-Cool-Mist-Humidifier/dp/B013IJPTFK/?tag=ybdig-20 ...but cleaning it is a royal asspain.

I would stick with a cool mist humidifier because otherwise you're using something that boils water. That sounds like a huge safety hazard. We have this one and I love it. It has an auto off feature when it runs out of water so you don't have to worry about it continuing to run and damaging the device.

This one! It's the best. It also has a nightlight setting which is super helpful for nighttime diaper changes so you don't have to turn on a bright light and wake baby all the way up.

Thanks that's interesting. I'm thinking about getting this one . Do you know if it's okay to run it inside the tent?

I got this one for my bedroom and love it. High/low modes, w/wo light, quiet, easy to clean. Lasts 24hrs on low, 16ish on high.

I got this one from amazon based on the reviews and I really like it! It's small-ish but holds enough water to last all night plus it has a nightlight in it

This one from Amazon also gets good reviews. I have not used it though.

here's the one i have in my bedroom

This one

I use THIS one. It is ultrasonic so it doesn't add heat to your grow.

My versi has been kickin butt for a few years, so fortunately I think I've got a decent ventilation situation going on for her now.

Is this the kind of humidifier you use? https://smile.amazon.com/Ultrasonic-Cool-Mist-Humidifier-Whisper-quiet/dp/B013IJPTFK/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_g2609328962?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&ie=UTF8

how big are you trying to go? a small investment can increase your volume quite a bit. a popular Martha can be made from a greenhouse rack a humidifier and a timer.

It would be perfect if I didn’t have to manually turn it on when I check on the girls in the morning but it seems like its working out.
