Low humidity issue
TripleCcannabisstarted grow question 5 years ago
Tents 20'' × 30''. Using a vivosun 6'' inline fan to exhaust with passive intake to create negative pressure. I have a good humidifier but even on full the rh doesnt go above 40%. Not unless the room the tent vents into becomes super humid as well.

This is getting frustrating. Your asking the same questions and not doing your own research.. Your 6" inline fan is super overkill for your tent even on it's lowest setting, it's a 440 CFM .. I know it is because my vivosun 6 in inline exhaust is overkill for my 60"X60" tent.... Again you don't have to listen but.. Turning it down won't help even on it's lowest setting.... Get a smaller one or just turn it off or buy a commercial grade humidifier to pump the Moisture in just as fast as it's been taken out... There is little bit of this whole growing thing that you have to figure out for yourself...
"An example 2,000 ft³ industrial area would generally require a system that can push 280-670 CFM."

I would turn your exhaust fan down a bit.. maybe keep some of that humidity in the tent.. or move the humidifier outside and suck the humid air in.
Other things you can do but don't work too well and could cause some other issues.. but mist the walls, add a bucket of water.. sometimes a fan blowing on a wet towel could work too.
Also, i would recommend 2 thermostats and ways to measure humidity.. this way you will know if the readings you get are right... sometimes cheap thermostats can be wonky.

Is a dehumidifier needed for my setup?Tent size is 4'x2'x5'. Humidity ranges from 50-70 and average temperature is 80F.
There are 3 plants (3 gallons - 6 weeks of age) and 1 plant (1 gallon - 1 week), with plans to add one more 3or5 gallon pot.
Given this info, will I require a dehumidifier? If so, what size?

Best Humidifier for 3x3x2 grow tent and best way to set up?I’m about to buy a dehumidifier. Finding one with programable humidity levels makes them too big 4 my tent & the small ones can’t be programmed to turn off when humidity is too low. Can I get a cheap one with no controls and manage humidity with my Humidistat alone? Will it work?Setup. Ventilation

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? ThanksSetup.

How to increase temperature?What is the best way to increase heat in small grow space (2x2x4)? I'm running an LED light, maybe should have gone HPS but it is what it is.
My area is in an outbuilding with poor insulation. Temps keep dropping below 70, I'm using an oil filled radiator placed next to the box

Can I close the door of my closet?My tent is located in a closet kind of room (5x2 meters) and I was wondering if could close the door during the night because the fan is a bit noisy. Will it fill the room with exhaust air/humidity and damage everything inside (the plant, also the clothes that are in the room)?Week 5
