Dehumidifier in tent or outside?

I put a dehumidifier in my 4x4 tent since I heard critical are prone to mould. I like to keep VPD as close as possible day and night. Now there's no room for the plants 😄 ( for the more serious stones, it's not, it blows in room and draws from just outside in hall)

You can ALWAYS change up the light schedule so you're doing your "night grow" ... but the dehumidifier is best inside the tent... Good luck...

@GrowingGrannie, as you are fond of being a grumpy know it all ass that likes to give it the large,pulling peoples answers up. It's a 1.2m x 1.2m tent and an industrial dehumidifier at 28.7cm × 38.9 × 40.1 cm, so not small, it would destroy anything growing nearby in a tent that size 🤣 It was an ironic question highlighting my lack of forethought as I chose to copy nature this time rather than my usual night grow. Did you even read the question before your ridiculous advice?

Already said about night grow ( one of the points of question) and the most powerful dehumidifier has over 200 m³/h air capacity (like this). If your extractors remove any more air than 200 m³/h, then you have to put your dehumidifier outside. Let’s say you put your dehumidifier in a room with 300 m³/h air flow. Now, your dehumidifier will start working. But by the time it was supposed to dehumidify the whole tent air, new air replaces the old air. So, no, poor advice to just blindly say it should be in the tent and a household one would be a waste of electricity in a tent.

I believe there's a theoretical calculation for how much water will be in the air based on amount plants drink. Think I got it covered

For anyone wondering https://www.legendbrandseurope.com/Products/The-Cube-Dehumidifier-230V Available for around the price of a second hand Samsung galaxy here.

There's a lot of water, I live by a river by the sea, why I didn't just do a night grow like always I really don't know 7am to pm light on,low rh day, high at night. Next grow .....
