Best way to control humidity?

Erasmus

I have a 4 inch inline fan blowing in air at the bottom, I have a 4 inch inline fan sucking air out the top and a 4 inch fan to circulate air inside and a large 300 foot air dehumidifier in the tent but my humidity is still 50%-60% constantly. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, So if the humidity in the room outside of the tent is very high it makes it hard to lower. You could try using a dehumidifier in the outer room and then that'll bring in lower humidity air in the start. Try to water only in the morning as humidity tends to spike once the lights go out. But also having the humidity in the 50-60% range isn't necessarily bad...especially this early in flowering. But what is a problem is when the humidity has spikes, if you can keep a consistent vpd you wont usually get any sort of powdery mildew etc. But the key is keeping it consistently at 65% so when the lights go out if it tends to shoot up higher that variation is what will cause pm, so run your dehumidifier especially at the dark hours to keep a consistent RH with minimal variation, if you can make it stay within 50-65% constant you should be ok with a good constant airflow going around and between the leaves and buds.👍

It's a 300 ft² dehumidifier. That's great for your tent, but you're sucking air in from the room outside the tent. Get a new dehumidifier or trim out some fan leaves to increase air flow and decrease the amount the plant perspires. Your dehumidifier needs to be big enough to take care of the room outside of the tent. Best luck mate!
