Humidity Control Tips
Professor_Daankstarted grow question 6y ago
What is the best way to control night-time humidity? I have my lights-on conditions pretty fuckin' dialed in, but my lights-off time humidity is around 67-68%. My temps are great at lights-off, around 71-73F. I can put a big dehumidifier in, but I don't want to yet. Any thoughts?

For the early stages it's not that bad, if you don't want to put a dehumidifier yet try to increase ventilation.
If you'r tent has mesh air vents, open them up and get the fan going, being careful not to hit the plant with a lot of direct air.
That normally does the job for me to take the humidity down 5-8%
Goodluck!
Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

I don't know what your electrical system is like, but here's a picture of an electronic timer

Hey bro! The best way to control any electrical devices is with a mechanical or electronic timer that plugs into the power outlet and has outputs for connecting to the controlling device! Mechanical ones have fewer programs... electronic ones have more programs and control options... their prices aren't that different, and they aren't expensive! I recommend getting an electronic timer! Set it to turn on during the day and turn off at night! 👌 Good luck, bro! ✊😇

4” filter upgrade help! SmellHey guys, I’m wondering what is a good recommended 4” filter for my tent? I got one that came with a fan, ducting and the filter off eBay but the filter is the shits. I had it vented in the room but the smell was brutal. It’s vented out the window under my deck, reeks there now.

Circulation / ExhaustGetting ready to install carbon filter; found myself wondering if growers typically leave their filters/exhaust/fans on during dark periods?
Up to this point, I've had everything on one power-strip/timer: circulation fan, exhaust fans, and lights. Should I keep anything on 24/7?Week 11

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!Setup. Ventilation

Trouble keeping my RH below 65% in grow tent (I water once per 24hrs, 20% runoff)Hello fellow growers!
I am having trouble keeping my RH lower than 65%. Any ideas (without using a dehumidifier)?
For extraction, I have a RAM mixed flow with a passive intake. It seems for the space (0.8mx0.8m), that this is more than enough. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!6y ago
