issues with humidity in sealed room

[fadetoblack1]

room is sealed with 4 (1000 bulbs) co2, 2 ton minisplit. I have a dehumidifier in there but with the room sealed up (door closed) it still sits at 60%. When i leave the door open it is fine and sits at 45%. I need to leave the door closed due to smell issues. Do i need to buy another dehumidifier?

how many btu's is the dehumidifier ? that might be the problem

im not sure, i believe it is a 50 pint. how many BTUs should i have?

 

[Dad]

8000 to 10,000 depending on what you have

 

[fadetoblack1]

I didnt know dehumidifiers were rated in BTUs. The AC i have in the room is 24,000 btu.

 

[Dad]

how big is the room?

 

[fadetoblack1]

130 sqft give or take

You will grow better with 60%+rh, why do you want to stress your plants. JK

60 should be fine during veg,if your growing a sativa you should have no problems during flowering.if your growing an indica,you might have to worry about the bigger colas.use a sulfer burner.an extra fan for more air flow.is the a/c going 24/7?

Ive noticed the same problem and I have almost the same setup but 6k watts...But I think my problem is 500gallons of wet soil, haha.

bought another 65pint Dehu today and it seems to be doing the trick.

Also, open up your mini split and make sure the water way isnt blocked. That A/C unit should be able to handle that humidity...

Your right green but during lights out they run alot less and you need a dehuey.Fadetoblack do yourself a favor and look into a santa fe dehuey,i use the compact model,i know it seems like expensive overkill but you will not waste anymore time worrying about too much humidity.
