RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?
TheGourmetWeedstarted grow question 5 years ago
I'm having a issue with my grow - RH won't go above 20%.
With a humidifier inside, full power. Temperatures are between 21 and 25c and I can only think the air extractor is taking too much air out of the grow, as in the night, with lights and fan off RH rise to +80%. Any ideas?

absolutely you are right, just dim down the extractor and you will have the issue sorted. best way to go around it is to get yourself a grow room fan speed controller, something like the SM COM fan control and this has either the manual function or automatic one. Also consider spraying the plants and in this way you can add some foliage feed in the mix as well (i.e. Vita Race from Plagron)
One more thing...theoretically, the extractor fan has to work 24h...otherwise during the "night" you risk high humidity and mold in flowering stage. So maybe get a timer for the extractor as well so you can schedule it on/off when you desire, especially if you are working with CO2 suppliments as well.

hey there, Norweedgian , hodebra ! another great thing i discovered and started using an "evaporative cooler" it will stabilise the base humidity at approx 50% and temperatures around 24... not always ideal but still very good for what we're trying to do here. Hope this helps growmie ! 🚀

Hi, if your exhaust air draws off too quickly and too much of the moist air, I would hang the exhaust air on a step transformer :-) ao you have the perfect control 👍

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

2x2 Circulating FanWhat is the best circulating fan for a 2x2 tent available on the european market?
I bought a Secret Jardin MO20 oscillating fan, and I highly regret it because I have read several reviews mentioning that it can catch fire. Is there any other good alternative for circulating air?

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

I am facing a temperature problem again....My tent reaches 84.2F, which is too hot in my opinion. But my humidity is perfect. On the other hand, if I activate the ventilation, the temperature of the tent reaches 76F, which is perfect, but the humidity level drops dramatically to 35%.

Risk of bud rot with these conditions?My tent keeps bouncing between 55-65% throughout the day during mid-late flower stage. Staying between 24-26 C. I have two fans moving air in the tent and the plants are we defoliated. An in-line fan is pulling air out. How much at risk am I for bud rot? Thanks!

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.
