Dehumidification
GreenbudLifestarted grow question 4 years ago
When the outdoor air dehumidification fan runs it produces a periotic negative pressure in the grow room. What is preferred: a negative or positive pressure in a grow room for this method of dehumidification?

Urrrrrmmm, not to sure what you mean, if we use 'passive' air flow then slight negative is preferred, the extractor fan creates negative pressure as it takes stagnant stale air out while 'sucking' fresh air in to create a cycle, to me personally unless it's sealed I would prefer negative so I 'know' it's pulling fresh air in, I wouldn't of thought this would be any different if you have a dehumidifier in the tent as well, you still want that 'fresh' air coming in, hope this helps happy growing 👍

Relative humidity is low here so, dehumidifier is a waste of energy for me. Better to blow air into room or suck air out of room or does not matter?

Best Humidifier for 3x3x2 grow tent and best way to set up?I’m about to buy a dehumidifier. Finding one with programable humidity levels makes them too big 4 my tent & the small ones can’t be programmed to turn off when humidity is too low. Can I get a cheap one with no controls and manage humidity with my Humidistat alone? Will it work?Setup. Ventilation

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? ThanksSetup.
