Substrate lil fly
Ign33lstarted grow question 4 years ago
So:
I got a dehumidifier to regulate and keep the humidity in 50%.
When i opend the deposit of the water of the dehumifier i found these little flies that are the classic Substrate fly (nasty but no harm).
Do yall think that the dehumidifier got them? Has this even happened to U

well of course some fly or little gnats can come into my box, but they're more than welcome, but just not too much!
once I got an infestation, I had to get rid of them by changing the soil and cleaning very well the humidifier..

Carbon filter sleeve needed?I use the carbon filter on the exhaust side. On the intake side, I have a dust screen mesh.
The tent is quite clean so that’s why I don’t see the need of the pre filter. Would also probably load the inline fan a bit too.
What’s you thought?Setup. Ventilation

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.a year ago

(MarsHydro) Anyone have experience with this combo?I'm thinking about upgrading my ultra cheap duct fan and carbon filter to this beauty.
It has a thermostat controller and is under 250€.
It seems to good to be true for this price.
