Bmollyanswered grow question a year ago 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!
