What kind of dehumidifier did you get. I have 4 large autos going in a 1.2 x 1.2 tent and really in need

@Ga4rd2en0er, ah thats spot on then, some dehumidifiers have a connection so you can run an additional pipe that can go straight to a drain or an even bigger resevoir/bucket...i use all my dehumidifier water to water my plants again which may be wrong but it has prevented salt buildups and its at a good PH as well... definitely I had a 0.8x0.8m tent at first and 5 autos in there plus the dehumidifier wasnt pleasant to work in...thats why i upgraded to have a slightly larger tent just to fit it all in...its very compact and amazon.co.uk (if your in the UK) has one for £90 brand new at the moment :)

@CronxWarrior, great info. I usually spend about 2 hours a day at each grow I have going on so I don't mind a little extra work with emptying out. I've been looking on the second hand market and the size of your unit looks about the right size for my space. My 4 autos are taking up 90% of the floor space in the 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 meter tent I have. I'm coastal and humidity will avg 55 to 75% year round.

@Ga4rd2en0er, Hi matey, i bought a refrigerant based dehumidifier as the temperatures of the grow tent should be around 25-30°C depending...I keep my tent at around 28-29°C because I supplement with CO2 and was told you need higher temps to make it worth it... If you keep your tent at a lower temperature then a desiccant dehumidifier is best but they are aimed at much lower temperatures at around 15°C... I managed to find this Delonghi DEM10 for £50 second hand local to me...im not sure where you are based but if you can find any second hand refrigerant based dehumidifier local i would go with it...especially if its a good brand such as delonghi etc...also get one with a resevoir thats as big as possible, my dehumidifier only holds around 2.0L which has to be emptied every 2 days sometimes which can be a bit tedious!
