Is you exhaust vented outside?
Is you exhaust vented outside?
You and me both Nick, I'm a fan nut too. Usually not on this high, but it is right now... I keep a few spares also. Big fans can be turned lower, and still move a ton of air. Many inline fans are highly efficient these days...buy good equipment even if you have to save up for each piece, i generally search when needed for āindustrial qualityā.. itās well worth it!
i used to run 2,3,4 fans, they would break down or work half assed, taking up room, getting the way, cords.. now i use one fan industrial fan and they love it!!

as long as itās dark where you are growing during lights off than the tent doesnāt have to be closed, that may help some.
Iām sort of doing that ! I had , still have some PH issues . Lots of yellowing leaves. I trim those away almost daily. I want to expose the emerging bud sites at the mid tier and lower tier levels to as much light as possible. I did fret at this because I felt like if I trimmed too much the plant would be impaired . Iām almost at the end of week 6. I figure I have 18-20 more days until harvest. 4 GG4 and one Skywalker OG. Itās odd that two of the three plants have no yellowing leaves while having the same PH as the others. They appear much healthier . Theyāve received identical care in every way. Mystifying.So if ya fucked on funds and don't wanna fuck your grow then here is what ya do.
Remove the source of the problem.... no not your plants.
Defoliate all the larger older leaves.... every last one of them. Then remove any growing in towards the middle of the plant and finally any large leaves at the canopy that are blocking newer growth that is more efficient at photosynthesis.
It's the total leaf surface area that is the largest contributing factor in how much overall water is released into the air.
You will be shocked at how much of a difference this makes and if your plants are healthy they won't skip a beat.
Yes, it will certainly work. The biggest factor is how many pints that thing can remove out of the air, it looks big, so should be fine. Why not just remove it from the tent entirely and simply dehumid the entire room? If it's a 1500 sq foot basement, then simply hang some plastic, or a tarp across the area closest to the grow room and dehumid 1/2 or 1/3 of the basement...I'm struggling too with 70-80% RH. 8" exaust to outside. I'm in a basement/ crawlspace where I've invested s lot of time to ensure there is no water in here and it stays dry. I've got a crazy idea. What if I put a dehumidifier in a joint tent and pulled the air from it with no plants in it. Seems to me I'm circulating a lot of air but it's also being replaced quickly. I pretty much starve plants from water until they are almost bone dry. Does it make a differenceon what side of the tent the dehumidifieris on relative to the exhaust. Looking for a silver bullet.
The lower the humidity the less efficient the dehuey. A dehuey will not push the moisture out side and if your exhausting the hot air then your not dehunidifying at all... it draws the air across a cold side which cause water to condense and drips into a catch. Then pushes that air through the hot side and back into the room with some of the moisture removed. So in essence the warmer air will naturally have a lower humidity and it has has some of the moisture removed.You and me both Nick, I'm a fan nut too. Usually not on this high, but it is right now...

On a side note, I've been wondering about this humidity thing... Because I'm pumping lots of air though the house, but when I run the dehumid unit, it's taking moisture out of the air and it doesn't seem to be going out the window. I think there's some law of physic's I'm not grasping at play. Like the air going out the window is transferring it's dryness to the inside, or the dehumid unit is processing enough air (plus the mixing of air) to keep the humid levels low.
Bringing in new air isn't really raising the humidity like I would have anticipated. I'm not seeing much difference right now because humidity is only 48%, but when it's much higher outside, and I'm blowing air in + dehumid, the unit seems to keep up fine.

I keep inline units on the floor of my grow rooms spinning the air under the canopy. 50w per unit.

That is exactly how it should be done... unless you have a huge tent you absolutely do NOT want to put it in the tent. It's pointless.Yes, it will certainly work. The biggest factor is how many pints that thing can remove out of the air, it looks big, so should be fine. Why not just remove it from the tent entirely and simply dehumid the entire room?

+1 on the IR temp gun.Try this: But instead of the temp of the tent inside, get one of those 'no touch' thermometers they have now and use the leaf temp instead.
Your humidity will fluctuate with temp.
Gotta love updates. Pretty soon, just push a button and your droid will bring you a pre-rolled.+1 on the IR temp gun.
Easy app here bro. Takes all the needed factors into account.

But of course. Anything less is simply, . . . pedestrian.After growing it to perfection lol

I learn so many real world applications of physics from you Aqua, you really understand many concepts well. I'm not surprised that there's a curve, it makes perfect sense.The lower the humidity the less efficient the dehuey. A dehuey will not push the moisture out side and if your exhausting the hot air then your not dehunidifying at all... it draws the air across a cold side which cause water to condense and drips into a catch. Then pushes that air through the hot side and back into the room with some of the moisture removed. So in essence the warmer air will naturally have a lower humidity and it has has some of the moisture removed.
Yeah AC will pull water also... they are basically the same except different size hot and cold (I'll just call em coils, rads, whatever) in an Ac they are kept separate and the hot side is vented outside... in a dehuey they are not.Yes, it will certainly work.

So actually, what I should be doing is maybe increasing the pressure in the house some, so I make the atmosphere work for stronger. As pressure increases, humidity decrease. LOL, you give me all sorts of novel way to think about manipulating the environment.
I think I'm heading down to a store so I can get me some tubing to hook in this other window unit, and run that dehumid unit instead, I think it might work a little better, that way I'm not throwing heat inside the house, as I do when it's cooler.
That's what made heat pumps so popular in the 80's.Yeah AC will pull water also... they are basically the same except different size hot and cold (I'll just call em coils, rads, whatever) in an Ac they are kept separate and the hot side is vented outside... in a dehuey they are not.
AC actually produce more heat that cooling so this is a must. Same as a dehuey.
Fun fact an AC actually pulls the heat out of your house not just cools the air inside.
No it stays in the media and you water less. One day if I get time I write out a thread on it once I get more figured out on the benefits and drawbacks for crop steering.So if plants supposedly transpire up 2 90percent of the water u feed if u pull all the leaf off where does said water go? Does it not just extra transpire out of the remaining leaf on the plant? So confused man
