Dehumidifier advice
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.

Circulation / Exhaust
Getting 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?

Currently using a 4x8 tent in a garage that is dusty. would getting a extra intake be better for my plants?
Currently using a 200mm inline exhaust with a max cfm of 537,96 and using a intake with a max cfm of 194. currently using the exhaust on medium setting so 466 cfm. would it be better for my plants to get more air from outside with a new but small intake of about 128 cfm ?

Humidity Control Tips
What is the best way to control night-time humidity? I have my lights-on conditions pretty fuckin' dialed in, but my lights-off time humidity is around 67-68%. My temps are great at lights-off, around 71-73F. I can put a big dehumidifier in, but I don't want to yet. Any thoughts?

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??
My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!
