is this dehumidifier bad?
MrBz21
started grow question 5y ago
Hello! I'm just wondering if this sort of dehumidifier is somehow harmful to our plants. The fact it has a tablet and that it claims to remove 70% of smell let me suspicious.

Ya I would say this is a no go. Stick with normal dehumidifiers or if smell is an issue look up ona gel. Good temporary solution but works great.

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.

How to reduce humidity in my grow space?
I'm just an amateur and am growing in my closet as I have very limited space. It's a small space in which I can't cut holes or openings. I use a small fan and a air purifier. Should I get more fans? Does a carbon filter or inline duct help if it can't exit out of the closet?

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?

Temp tent issue
Nice! Thanks guys for the quick help! I’m also kinda sort of having a temp issue, I’m trying to make it the best I can, I’m way down south and the temp reads 86-88 a lot. If I blast the fans and humidifier it does get down but I’m worried about the electric bill going up.

How to deal with high (80% ) humidity during flower without dehumidifiers
First time grower, I'm in W-Europe and will have around 21-27°C, 75-85%RH in my 70x70x160cm tent, Not more humid than air outside it. Getting a dehumidifier isn't an option for me. Any advice on how to still manage through mid to late flower from someone who's in the same boat?

Air flow method
I removed the hood from the home AC to run cold air directly into the grow tent with a 4 inch duct at the bottom. I have an inline fan to push hot air out to balance out the air pressure at the top. Is this a good idea or should I just have a fan inside with no in or out?

Ventilation set up
I just got my first grow tent- a Vivosun 32x32x64 and a Vivosun 4” fan and carbon filter combo. It came with directions for the tent- but nothing on the ventilation system. What’s best as far as set up? Any tips, recommendations, or photos.? Does it need to vent outside?
