Maintain 50% RH in Socal?
Bonerdonor99started grow question 5y ago
So if it's 1. LIGHT 2. WATER 3. ENVIRONMENT...what are you doing indoors to maintain ur environment. I'm in week 2 of Flower n since I cranked my lights up to around 75% (850 PPFD) temp is ok (72*-85*) but I can't get down to 50%. I can keep it around 57%, but nites it goes up

I live in SoCal. I run my AC with 2 windows cracked slightly on both sides of the room. 1 T6 intake on low on the floor of my tent, 1 small fan moving the light heat away from the canopy. 1 T4 exhaust on high directly next to my lights to pull heat.
Ac is outside the tent. Seems the air flow goes into the tent, exhausts up to the ceiling and runs out the windows. My temp stay from 74-85F (85 during a heat wave of 100+) my RH stay between 45 and 55. Day to night. If my windows are not cracked my RH goes to 65 and stays there. I do not use a dehumidifier at all.
Probably not helping you out but it's what I do. Smell isn't a problem for me either.

I run a dehumidifier and oscillating fans in a 10x10.
It’s a battle cuz if you bring in a dehumidifier- your temp is gonna go up sharply too to drop that RH. As long as it’s not above 65% at night I wouldn’t worry too much

Umm check out VPD charts on google for flowering.. shows you the best range for temp and humidity for plants.
I’ve realized you don’t need to be down super low RH in flower. I’ve had great success around 50-60 RH and upper 70s F
As long as you’ve got plenty of air movement and fans moving the plants you’ll be good..

Even with a AC Infinity T6 inline fan w/digital temp/humid. control I found that at lights out my RH rise was substantial (not a surprise since RH is humidity in relation to temperature)...the easiest thing for me was to add an extra large fan (box fan) in my grow tent that angles upwards that's on a timer to coincide with lights out. The RH still goes up but now only to 60% instead of 70-75%.

Ventilation on schedule?If I put my ventilation on an hour on/hour off schedule to raise the RH (RH when cold is around 30%) and help relieve my heaters a little, will it be detrimental to the environment?

Air circulationI just added a ac unit inside the tent. I noticed that when closed its sucking the tent inward. Is this a problem. Or should I take my exhaust fan on the light and make it and I let fan? And how would that work with my filter in flower for smell?Week 3

Ventilación y Luz en plantulasI was inspired by McGyver and set up an improvised cabinet... How important is ventilation at this seedling stage?🌬️ (I left the door slightly open just in case)🤔
I also added another auxiliary light... will it make a difference in growth or is it a waste of light?🔌🔋

I made a firebomb?Is it a fire hazard if 5v computer fan is jammed and the power is on for 2-3 weeks?
I'm far away from home and I have camera in my growbox. A tape has fallen to the fan and it is not rotating. Can it heat up so much that fire starts? Should I drive 1600km for that?

So has anybody used these cordless mini dehumidifiers in their grow rooms? They’re small units that u charge over night every so often when the silica changes colour? My grow room is very small so an electric dehumidifier wouldn’t fit and I’m struggling to keep humidity downSetup. Ventilation

Grow Tent/Room setup in the basement - dehumidifier or humidifier needed?I’m planning a small grow setup in my basement and have a room that’s holding a steady 17–18 °C (62–64 °F) with about 55–58% relative humidity. My plan is to vent the exhaust from the grow box straight outside through an existing duct. Will I need a de- or humidifier?
Thanks!Setup. Ventilation

Humidistat levels vary wildly between Inkbird and ETI humidistats..I have two humidistats, one is an Inkbird 200 for control, the other is ETI 810-195 just for display.. The ETI is showing roughly 9-10% higher humidity levels compared to the Inkbird. Does anyone know which is more accurate? I want it get these humidity levels just right 👌🏼Setup. Ventilation

Anyone tried a plasma filter instead of a carbon filter?Supposedly superior odor elimination over carbon filters
Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwiNUkjL1Dk
As you can see they resemble carbon filters (they're part carbon filter actually). The only question is...can they run 24 hours a day for 3 weeks?
