A medium size humidifier from Amazon is your best bet to get the humidity down. I would recommend paying attention to the size of the water collecting container when you choose one. This will make a difference in how often you have to drain it. If you can't get the humidity down then an oscillating fan will lower the risk if any mold setting in. Good luck finishing them up.

So has anybody used these cordless mini dehumidifiers in their grow rooms? They’re small units that u charge over night every so often when the silica changes colour? My grow room is very small so an electric dehumidifier wouldn’t fit and I’m struggling to keep humidity downSetup. Ventilation

Temp tent issueNice! Thanks guys for the quick help! I’m also kinda sort of having a temp issue, I’m trying to make it the best I can, I’m way down south and the temp reads 86-88 a lot. If I blast the fans and humidifier it does get down but I’m worried about the electric bill going up.Week 1

AC/humidifierSo I did get a humidifier/AC. Super cheap, $40. It seems to work. I’ve gotten it at 79-82 degrees and 45-50% humidity. I just have to keep filling the water part up every couple hours but I work from home in my room where it’s in my closetWeek 1

RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?I'm having a issue with my grow - RH won't go above 20%.
With a humidifier inside, full power. Temperatures are between 21 and 25c and I can only think the air extractor is taking too much air out of the grow, as in the night, with lights and fan off RH rise to +80%. Any ideas?Week 3

How to Lower HumidityThe weather outside was really wet and chilly for days here and the humidity is about 60% at this point. Without a duct fan, how can I lower the humidity in the tent? I'm using several small fans right now. I plan to get a duct fan when I can, but I need something until thenWeek 25

Smelly room, with filter should I be able to smell flowering buds?I have a 3x3 grow tent with a 4” fan and filter. The filter is in the tent and exhausts into the room. I taped the filter to the line and line to the fan so no pinhole leaks. The fan is rated for 198 cfm. I have it on low because when it’s high the smell is worse.

Fan vs Fanless LEDsHow effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soonSetup. Lighting

Temps to high....i thinkHi, newbie here, I'm really struggling to keep temps below 30°C. Outside temps are not helping all, i have my extractor on full, air circulation fan on full, both flaps open, shed door even open lol and my light is turned down to 250 watts, which probably isn't high enough!
