Good Dehumidfier for Growtents?

Kreeze
Kreezestarted grow question 3 months ago
Can anyone recommend a good dehumidifier? Ideally without fancy LEDs and of course it should be configurable so that it switches off at around 50%. It would be ideal if it could be controlled by a climate controller... if I understand correctly it should "remember" its settings?

I would not put a dehumidifier in the tent, it would raise the temp to much. It is better to place it in the room that the tent is in, AKA lung room. Get as big as you can afford, and with a drain hose so you don't need to empty it so often. I just have mine elevated on a box draining in to a 30l bucket. There are calculations out on the web that let you calculate how big of a dehumidifier you need based on how much water you use.

I have a Noma 50 quart dehumidifier and you set the humidity value you want and it will do its thing to hold that RH. It does have an led display but that can be covered up with some black paper and tape. I picked it up for 400 bucks. I don’t know what your set up is like but I’m going to mention this. I run an ac unit in my lung room of the flower tent. I thought I would try to run my dehumidifier to further bring down the RH. The tent runs on one plug, the ac had its own plug and the dehumidifier had its own plug. It didn’t work. It tripped the breaker. So AC and dehumidifier plus tent was sucking too much juice. I can only run one or the other. Both just doesn’t work. That’s a heads up from my experience.
