Dehumidifier advice
PenguHBstarted grow question 5y ago
I am looking for an efficient, non-electric dehumidifier for the grow room. Do you think one of these would work? Can you recommend anything specific? Are they effective? About 30m3 total grow room volume.

That aint gonna do anything for you man, be useless after a few hours. Used them before in cars and house and they suck.
With a 30sqm grow room you need a proper big dehumidifier with a humidistat and a large reservoir - for the price you would pay over time buying 500 of them cheap shitters you would have a great dehu unit.
You arent dehu a normal room like those disposables are made for a snall space that isnt full of sweaty jungle conditions.

Fair enough friend. Then yeah I agree with Mrstinky. Get a good unit to dehumidify it’s going to be worth it in the long run.

Yeah Papa_T, where I live humidity is usually around 70% and bud rot just taught me a lesson.

Well it depends man. Donyou really need to dehumidify?
Typically people tend to have to add a humidifier.
Sure that product will suck out humidity but then you’ll have to re introduce humidity.
Honestly unless you’re running above 60% constantly I would not bother with dehumidifying the air.

How can I reduce the heat in my 5x5 tent (650w light bar/6" ac Infinity and a ton of fans) without AC? Do I have to leave tent open?5x5 tent is in a kind of lung room (utility room) that stays around 20C/68F. The tent always seems to be at 30C86F with lights on. Ive added and moved fans, opened more intake vents. I have AC, but its -25C/-13F outside. Id like to drop the daytime temp 5ish degrees for flower.

Cardboard box method for dehumidifierHi 👋 can anyone tell me what success they’ve had using the cardboard box method for housing their dehumidifier? My unit is heating up inside the tent so much as it works harder during flower to keep humidity levels lower. Before I make the switch I wanted some opinions?Setup. Ventilation

Yay, I ordered a growlight + tent + accessories! I'm planning to install all of this in my basement. I have a small window that I could use to send the filtered exhaust air to. but will it suffice to just get intake air from the basement itself? Or would I need an air purifier?

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

Circulation / ExhaustGetting ready to install carbon filter; found myself wondering if growers typically leave their filters/exhaust/fans on during dark periods?
Up to this point, I've had everything on one power-strip/timer: circulation fan, exhaust fans, and lights. Should I keep anything on 24/7?Week 11

Can RH be raised to 100% for short periods of time?My extraction is noisy and the humidity is causing a sore throat at night. Can I switch it off and raise my RH to 95% on a regular basis without stressing the plants?
I have an indoor grow 2"x2" that runs full ventilation. RH rises from 70% to 95% after 30 mins of no venting.
