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??

Newbiegrower420started grow question 6y ago

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!!

That will be plenty of air replacement. You should be able to buy a separate speed control for it though.

Thanks all, I might invest in a fan speed controller anyway as I would prefer a constant flow of air extraction.. However this solution is working sweet for now.. Thanks for everyone’s support!! This website is truly awesome.. One❤️....

High RH in flower I find it really hard to keep the RH below 50%, especially at night when temps are low. I have a dehumidifier in the room where my tent is in but even when it's below 50% there, it still is above 50% in the tent itself. Can somebody explain this? Probably help me with a solution

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2 I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it? Thanks all

Do you think this is a better position for carbon filter so it can have better airflow or is it more important to scrub air from the top and have 2 90 degree bends? I'll probably try this in my next grow. Pic with drying plants is setup from before with 2 90 degree bends.

I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?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?
