Peltier dehumidifier @300ml per day adequate for 3x3x6 tent? Alternatively, a conventional dehumidifier outside the tent?

Peltier thermoelectric dehumidifiers extract 300ml of water per day. Weak compared to compresser units, small and use less energy. Is it enough? Would a conventional dehumidifier set outside of the tent near the intake be effective, or does it need to be inside the tent to work

Should be fine outside the tent as long as its lowering the RH enough in the main room so the air going into the tent is the desired RH. If it can't do that, then place it inside the tent. If you use AC, that also removes RH from the ambient room air. Good Luck!

Peltier thermoelectric dehumidifiers are indeed smaller and consume less energy compared to compressor-based units. While they may extract around 300ml of water per day, their dehumidifying capacity is generally lower than conventional dehumidifiers. Whether this capacity is enough for your specific setup depends on various factors such as the size of your cultivation area, the ambient humidity level, and the desired humidity range. If you're dealing with high humidity levels, you might need a more powerful dehumidification solution. Regarding the placement of the dehumidifier, it is generally more effective to have it inside the tent or close to the plants. Placing a conventional dehumidifier outside the tent near the intake might not provide the desired results, as it would be working against the controlled environment created within the tent. The dehumidifier needs to be positioned in the area where the excess humidity is present to effectively remove moisture from the air. It's important to monitor and adjust the humidity levels regularly to maintain an optimal environment for your plants. Consider factors such as ventilation, air circulation, and the specific requirements of your cultivation setup when deciding on the most suitable dehumidification solution. I wish you success in achieving the desired humidity levels for your cultivation. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
