i tried that when it stops the humidity in the tent goes up high
i will set it to 55 humididty in tent i bet gets 65 or higher and im in the first weeks of flower isnt humidity supposed to be low
Nope this is not true. Only way this is going to happen is if you have the RH sensor down at the top of the pots (you better check) or you have a bad sensor in the first place.
You would be a good candidate for a grow journal so everyone can help you out. Because RH is high at the beginning of flower and is gradually lowered as the flowers get larger? Any idea why this would be?
Set the dehuey to 55... set the tent to 55 and if it's not then yes sensor placement or inadequate air exchange plain and simple
Lower photosynthesis and pruning. Growing less leaves and more bud
Think the fan runs all the time and compressor kicks on and off
Compressor definitely. My fan runs a little longer than compressor, then shuts off. It still shouldn't freeze up.
when i had the rh set to 40 or 45 it would run for hours cut for 10 mins turn back on for hours i did what agua man said set the rh for 55 i can here it run a lil bit cut off then in a lil bit cut back on i might have been working it too hard but i really do not know
It will all depend on the size if the dehumidifier and the load. 67 degrees will make a dehumidifier freeze or atleast ice up where a sensor will trip. This happens at that temp when the unit is to small for the load and runs for long periods Without cutting off.
Could be to small of a dehumidifier, low airflow due to dirty coils or maybe poor placement of the dehumidifier , something wrong with the dehumidifier.
They should never freeze. If it is under rated for the task it will just sit there and run without shutting off. But it should never freeze. There is something wrong if it is freezing. It could be poor air exchange across the coils or low refrigerant or a failing compressor.
A dehumidifier/ a/c that is slightly undersize will freeze from running to long depending on temperature and humidity in area of which it is in use. If it is running correctly and pulling humidity out and somewhat controlling the humidity the coils will continue to get colder. An once the coil temperature get to a certain temperature it will start to freeze the condensation. It will just need to be put on a timer to cut it off for a few minutes every so often. I see it a lot on dehumidifiers in crawlspace's around here when we first install them. And once the humidity reaches the desired level and the dehumidifier just has to maintain it will not freeze anymore. Now I say freeze but its more like a good frost never turns in to a big block of ice.
