Humidity issues near flowering
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 3 years ago
So I installed an intraction (145 m3/h speed1) and aluminium foil on the pots but humidity is still hight like 75% when nightime and the lowest is 65%. Probably the water evaporates by the pots (drip, clay pebbles). I have no more ideas. Do I have to buy a deshumidifier? Thx !

get a dehum with a pump for continuous drain or buy a condensate pump with one that does not have that option. One that is a bit larger than required is a good idea, so it doen't have to struggle while run 24/7 -- believe the bigger portable ones are more efficient than the smaller ones anyway? It will definitely add some heat to the room... depending on size of room and if you exhaust outside that room etc... could fit a small one inside an enclusore, but i don't like giving up growing space to equipment.

Yes, please do. You will need it for curing purposes as well ..60 degrees and 60 or slightly less with humidity for 16 days.
As stated before you will be battling bud rot if you have fat juicy nugs….and potentially higher risk for bacteria in soil not to respond so well…..
You want quality AND quantity…get the dehumidifier please and thank you 😊

yes it would be recommended with flower. anything above 55% humidity can cause but rot. the bigger the bud the higher chance of rot. Its fine for veg. 75 is a bit high but shouldn't slow down growth significantly.
Happy Growing

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

RH 90% during Flowering!I have a problem with RH. I am at the 3rd week of Flowering and I'm struggling to keep my RH down. Today it was 90% when I opened the grow box. I have access only to a window. Is it better to suck air inside or blow the exhausted air out? I can't do bothSetup. Sensors

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

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

AC/humidifierSo I did get a humidifier/AC. Super cheap, $40. It seems to work. I’ve gotten it at 79-82 degrees and 45-50% humidity. I just have to keep filling the water part up every couple hours but I work from home in my room where it’s in my closetWeek 1

Temp tent issueNice! 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.Week 1

How to Lower HumidityThe weather outside was really wet and chilly for days here and the humidity is about 60% at this point. Without a duct fan, how can I lower the humidity in the tent? I'm using several small fans right now. I plan to get a duct fan when I can, but I need something until thenWeek 25

RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?I'm having a issue with my grow - RH won't go above 20%.
With a humidifier inside, full power. Temperatures are between 21 and 25c and I can only think the air extractor is taking too much air out of the grow, as in the night, with lights and fan off RH rise to +80%. Any ideas?Week 3

Smelly room, with filter should I be able to smell flowering buds?I have a 3x3 grow tent with a 4” fan and filter. The filter is in the tent and exhausts into the room. I taped the filter to the line and line to the fan so no pinhole leaks. The fan is rated for 198 cfm. I have it on low because when it’s high the smell is worse.

Fan vs Fanless LEDsHow effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soonSetup. Lighting
