Is a dehumidifier needed for my setup?
TheSyndicatestarted grow question 4 years ago
Tent size is 4'x2'x5'. Humidity ranges from 50-70 and average temperature is 80F.
There are 3 plants (3 gallons - 6 weeks of age) and 1 plant (1 gallon - 1 week), with plans to add one more 3or5 gallon pot.
Given this info, will I require a dehumidifier? If so, what size?

You will definitely need a dehumidifier. Optimal humidity range is 50-65 percent depending on the stage of plant. In veg plant seem to like higher humidity 60-65 percent is fine. In flower you will want to avoid high humidity I try to keep my flower room 50-60 percent with a lot of air flow to avoid mold & mildew. In veg your temp now is fine 80 degrees depending on your genetics some strains like warmer temps in flower you will want to drop temps to 70-75 degrees so you don’t get any airy nugs. I can go on and on and on . Hope this information helps

It is much better to have a dehumidifier. Get a decent sized one, that can do a whole room. I have mine outside the tent with the air blowing at my tent intake. Works great. Happy growing.

Incredibly low CO2 levelsAfter adding an A/C to my tent I began using bottled CO2 like never before. 20lbs in 5 days. Without adding, my CO2 is at 4 ppm. Yes, four parts per million in the dark. How can this be possible if the air in my house sits at 400ppm? I read that photosynthesis stops below 200ppmSetup. Other
