Inkbird has a resolution as little as 1 degree F. The wifi model is the one you want. Set it with a phone app instead if button clicks. Get alerts.I set the heat to come on at 70 and shut off at 75. I believe the inkbird has a 5 degree minimum setting.
So the fan is useless and I need to keep the carbon exhaust fan running 24/7! I am surprised however since the small heater was maintaining 72 degrees and heat does suck the humidity out of the air!Temp changes and condensation. Hot air holds more moisture.
The higher the humidity, the greater the need for a fan to prevent mold on your plants.So the fan is useless and I need to keep the carbon exhaust fan running 24/7! I am surprised however since the small heater was maintaining 72 degrees and heat does suck the humidity out of the air!
Plants transpire a lot. My closet would go from 45 to 85 in an hour or two without exhaust on. My exhaust is going 24-7 now.Tent temperature really varies depending on what’s running!
I turned off the carbon filter in order to give the motor a break and turned on a 6 inch fan that’s up near the top of the tent. Within a 2 to 3 hour period, the humidity level went fro 48% to 85% while the basement humidity is about 56%.
Just how is that possible, nothing else changed
Heat doesn't suck humidity out of the air. It lowers the calculated RH, but it doesn't remove anything. The same amount of water is still there. The only way to remove it is to exhaust or run a dehumidifier.So the fan is useless and I need to keep the carbon exhaust fan running 24/7!

The fan is necessary for circulation. Without circulation the microclimate around the plant would be more humid than the rest of the room and the plant wouldn't transpire right.So the fan is useless and I need to keep the carbon exhaust fan running 24/7!

Mine does not. It has a base setting and then a differential setting. You can change that to less than 5 I'm pretty sure. I double check when I get to the tent next.I set the heat to come on at 70 and shut off at 75. I believe the inkbird has a 5 degree minimum setting.
My filter is outside the tent so the fan sucks the air out of the tent snd both bottom vents are open. Should I be running the fan as well??The fan is necessary for circulation.

This 4 plants in my room can put out over 5 gal of water into the air..Plants transpire a lot. My closet would go from 45 to 85 in an hour or two without exhaust on. My exhaust is going 24-7 now.
This is correct moisture content and humidity are 2 very different things. The moisture content will stay the same and humidity will change until dew point is reached and water starts to condensate. Which is 100% humidity.Heat doesn't suck humidity out of the air. It lowers the calculated RH, but it doesn't remove anything. The same amount of water is still there.

SCIENCE! Give the man a lolipop.This 4 plants in my room can put out over 5 gal of water into the air..

Ergo the term relative humidity. It's relative to temperature. So air temps rise it will hold more water before reaching dew point. As temls drol it will hold less and the relative humidity is the saturation % of the air at that specific temperature.
Okay, I just looked up a 4 inch cloud line fan and I’m not understanding how it can control humid or provide a change in temperature other than by adjusting the fan speed, unless I’m missing something?The exhaust fan needs to run 24/7 after an hr or so sometimes a touch longer of darkness the plants have reduced transpiration significantly. But the issues happen in that time frame where the plants are transpiring lots and the temps are dropping because of no heat from the light.
This cause a massive spike in humidity and often growers don't realize they are hitting close to dew point where condensate happens. This will be at less than 100% humidity because of the lower leaf temps than air temps so if your hitting 90% your likely getting condensate and create ideal environments for bacteria and mold to infect the plants.
So tldr air exchange during lights on is important to keep humidity in a good place for transpirational needs and temperature moderation. It's ABSOLUTELY crucial in the 2 hrs after lights out and then can be slightly reduced but still MUST remain constant.
This is why I recommend cloudine fans. As long as it's big enough it's set and forget. If not then an inkbird controller
That's exactly how it does it.... humidity or temp. There are 2 models let me find it. I think it's the T model.Okay, I just looked up a 4 inch cloud line fan and I’m not understanding how it can control humid or provide a change in temperature other than by adjusting the fan speed, unless I’m missing something?
Okay my friend, thanks for having the patience to explain this so that I could understand itHere. It's adjust the speed to keep you setpoints in check. It does not heat, cool, humidify or dehumidiy. Just adjusts the speed automatically to remove heat or humidity if they get to high.
Last question (for today) can the filter end sit in the room and just discharge from the tent via 4 inch duct? That would save tent space.Here. It's adjust the speed to keep you setpoints in check.
