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?

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

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

Can I close the door of my closet?My tent is located in a closet kind of room (5x2 meters) and I was wondering if could close the door during the night because the fan is a bit noisy. Will it fill the room with exhaust air/humidity and damage everything inside (the plant, also the clothes that are in the room)?Week 5

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.
