If you have problem with humidity you might use CALCIUM CHLORIDE. You get that cheap if you buy a large amount, like 1 kilo, and it will suc WAY MORE water than that silica pack.
But you must make a setup for that, putting a vase inside the other and bla bla bla . Easy by searching.

Yes, but it will do nothing to reduce humidity. Short of a dehumidifier, increase temps and exhaust are your best bets

As long as it doesn't overly dry the air, it doesn't release any chemicals into the air, and smells... you wouldnt want some weird smell/taste on ur buds.
Then you should be fine yeah.

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?

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.

Maintaining VPDI've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

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?

Grow Tent/Room setup in the basement - dehumidifier or humidifier needed?I’m planning a small grow setup in my basement and have a room that’s holding a steady 17–18 °C (62–64 °F) with about 55–58% relative humidity. My plan is to vent the exhaust from the grow box straight outside through an existing duct. Will I need a de- or humidifier?
Thanks!Setup. Ventilation

Growtent Humidity controlHow do you control humidity/temp when using a grow tent? is it enough to put a dehumidifier in the same room as the tent and close the tent and just blow the air outside with a fan and tubing? Do u need an intake fan too? Or does the "good air" gets sucked in enough without ? THXSetup. Ventilation

How to deal with high (80% ) humidity during flower without dehumidifiersFirst time grower,
I'm in W-Europe and will have around 21-27°C, 75-85%RH in my 70x70x160cm tent, Not more humid than air outside it.
Getting a dehumidifier isn't an option for me.
Any advice on how to still manage through mid to late flower from someone who's in the same boat?Setup. Ventilation

Would it be possible to have a closed loop ventilation system?My tent is in a garage that gets very cold, i need the fan running so i have constant negative pressure so there is no smell. Could i just have the fan extract back into the tent with a CO2 bag in there? Heat shouldn't get too high, and only other thing i could think of was CO2Setup. Ventilation

Can't vent exhaust fan outside, is this a problem?I have my 2x2x4 tent in a closet, with a 4" carbon filter inside the tent and a 4" inline fan outside of the tent, exhausting. But I have no way of directing the air to outside or even out of the room. Will this be a major problem for me? Room is otherwise AC'd via central air.Setup. Ventilation
