You will want to do a really good check for mold and other bad stuff.Im really concerned my flowers wont grow with the humidity
Which do you have and how much was it. I guess I could use the litte one in the bathroom and get a larger one, but Im not looking to drop hundreds on it. I saw a 50 pint for 150$...idk how good it will work tho. Man, i just dropped 75bucks on this thing for nothing!I run a 50 pint unit in my 4x4. Only way I was able to get RH under control. Running it outside the tent didn't help all that much either, so luckily I had room to put it in the tent under the scrog canopy. Those little units simply won't compete against healthy plants transpiring.
This is the unit I bought:Which do you have and how much was it. I guess I could use the litte one in the bathroom and get a larger one, but Im not looking to drop hundreds on it. I saw a 50 pint for 150$...idk how good it will work tho. Man, i just dropped 75bucks on this thing for nothing!
Thank you so much, im going with the exact one you recommended but cant pull the trigger until I get paid on Monday... I really pray the ladies make it through the weekend and Monday without getting too messed up. What would you do or can I do until the unit comes on Tuesday?This is the unit I bought:
It was a bitter pill to swallow, for sure. But when you're looking at 1lb+ going to the compost bin because RH is 75% (95%+ at lights out), I'd rather eat $200 and recoup the costs after the fact than eat the value of that kind of quantity and time spent growing it.
Honestly, I love it, too. Absolutely amazing unit, works fantastic for my requirements, not terribly noisy, and pretty damn efficient -- I didn't notice any increase on my power bill. The pump feature is great too, so if you can set it up, you aren't having to manually drain the pan all the time. The reviews are also better than Frigidaire and Keystone as a whole, both of which used to be considered the premier brands.
I have been using the Ivation 13 pint and it works well inside my 3x3 tent. It's a bit crowded with four 5 gal pots but it works and does the job. One of the sides is a intake vent and is supposed to be 8" from any wall, but I put the vent side against the side of the tent by an intake vent and it draws some fresh air from outside the tent that way. Still gives me room to get in and empty the collection reservoir. It also has a humidistat that goes down to 35% but also has a continuous on feature that I use after watering to keep things under 40% in flowering.Yesterday I ordered off Amazon the IVATION 14.7 pint compressor driven dehumidifier (great reviews), should come today. Its approximately 11"wide, 7" deep and 18" tall. Will fit right in there.
If you don’t want to spend money on a necessity like a dehumidifier then I recommend getting some damp rid containers and putting them in your tent. I have used them in the past, they are cheap, do not affect the plants whatsoever and they work to help subsidize.Hey growers,
Im growing 6 plants in a 4x4 tent with an intake fan and and exhaust fan with carbon filter and am running 3 clip fans inside the tent. Even with all this, the humidity in the tent is far too high for the flowering stage and i knew it would be a problem so I took action...
I searched google and found more than one site that recommended the $69.99 pro breeze as the top pick for my size tent, so I went for it. Many people have said that the smaller bro breeze mini for 39.99 works great also, but I went with the bigger stronger model just to be sure.
I've had it in the tent now for a day or so and I cant believe how little its doing. I have two monitors in the tent that are both measuring the same, and they have recorded VERY LITTLE (UNDER 4% AT BEST) CHANGE...
Am I doing something wrong?
Should I have it in the middle of tent and not at edge by door vent? Should I lower my fan speed and see if that's it?
Im really concerned my flowers wont grow with the humidity at times hitting in the 70'%s
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Not sure if you are talking to me but to answer in my case, no I'm not per se. I actually thought about how I could make a little duct to take that hot air straight out of the tent but if I do that, it will have to be on a new grow because I don't want to mess with it with 4 flowering plants in the way. I've got 3 fans in the tent, one pulling air in through the bottom and out the top, and 2 smaller fans stirring the air in the tent all around, one at the floor level under the canopy and one above the canopy. It heats it up for sure due to the dehumidifier, but controllable on a cool/warm day without turning on the A/C in the house. Still controllable on a hot day but need to be around to monitor.Are you blowing the exhaust outside?
I am not sure about this particular unit, but mine also raises the temp in the room substantially, which is then sucked into the tent. Can't open windows and doors because that brings fresh, unconditioned air into the room. It's a catch 22 of sorts. I got it to work both ways, inside and outside the tent, but both involved using the house A/C.It does kick out heat, but that's how they work so I wouldn't recommend throwing it in the actual tent, it will raise temperature substantially
