What should i do to get Relative Humidity down? My RH is about 80% when the closet doors are closed and the lights are off. I have a fan blowing inside the closet 24/7. I also have a small dehumidifier inside of there. I cant manage to get RH down unless i open the doors.

Exactly what you said... you can't get the humidity down unless you open the doors... or get some sort of dehumidifier... or set-up an exhaust fan to bring humid air out and dry air in... they have fans that have humidistats and thermostats to turn the fan on and off when it's needed. Proper humidity is very important for a number of factors. Too much humidity and you will possibly over feed your plants. Too little humidity and they can starve. The temperature is so important, too. Keep it dialed in to prevent mold and mildew. The plants are sitting in a pot of regularly damp soil = humidity source + the plants suck water up through the roots and stems and release about 90% of it into the air = so much humidity you need to get rid of it on a constant basis... especially in flowering stages. Good luck!😀

Oh yeah....this in an uninsulated basement that is a whore for humidity...I don't ever recommend growing in a basement. Get enough of those damp traps and boom. I'm pretty sure it's just silica but they work

You know those little packets from shoe boxes and stuff to keep things dry....well I use those. You can also buy these things called "damp trap" I get from Dollarama, I don't put them in the tent but outside of it. I can get my rh down to 40 without a dehumidifier 👊👍

If ur tent is on the cooler side it will cause the humidity to rise. U can put a small electric heater in ur room to raise the temp a little unless ur room is already warm. If that’s the case u will have to get an exhaust fan. Be careful u don’t want to get bud rot after all the time and effort u put into ur grow. Cheers ✭💨✭

hi, you should place an air extractor. good dehumidifiers are big and rise a lot the temperature. extracting air is the best (and i think only in your case) way tu drop the rh. cheers
