How to reduce humidity in my grow space?

Faegrowsstarted grow question 2 years ago

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 would simply open the closet door and keep the fan and dehumidifier going... I'd prefer loss of light to risking bud rot which you're doing if the humidity is really high. Good luck!

@aldo90 I can't cut or saw into my closet. How would you suggest this? Also do you have links to the items?

An extraction fan is the only option to reduce heat imo. Plus the benefits of fresh air for the plants will be rewarded. I've done closet grows, it's possible to make a exhaust system inside one. Cheap enough fan and filter will help you loads mate.

Air exchange/replacement is the only effective way to reduce humidity. Recirculating the same air in a closed closet, no matter how much, will not remove humidity effectively, you need to get fresh air in there.

either have to exhust to a different area that won't comingle or get a dehumidifier. circulation fans will even it out throughout volume of space, but won't reduce it. leave small space open during lights on.. if an autoflower leave it open all the time. could grow only during certain seasons to avoid it. If ambient RH is high and your plant is transpiring as it should, it'll always be ab it higher than ambient RH%. A furnace being on dries out the air. AC too. but, you need a dehumidifier for any major issue.

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2 I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it? Thanks all

Carbon filter effectiveness at harvest Hey everyone, just wondering if carbon filters actually get rid of 100% of the smell from the harvest point while drying? I can’t smell anything outside the tent at the moment but my plants haven’t all bloomed fully and I need to be prepared, can’t have the neighbours smelling!

Odour control First indoor grow and is a stealth grow. I’m wondering if complete odour control is possible for one plant. One auto in the tent with a large carbon filter and appropriately size duct fan, walls are sucked in — I also have ona blocks to place around room during flower.

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.
