I take it, you have done a run or two in there ?
How many plants, at a time, do you flower in there ?
Slick .Humidity I control with the intensity of my lights
Slick .
I read, you are running dehumidifiers at night ?
Only asking, because I am learning,,,
Does that mean that you are hoarding heat at night ?,,,and is that because the air drawn in would be too cool at night/sundown/lights off ?
Nice setup, use a washable filter instead of the pleated for outside, you can get those cut to size ones, reason, paper will harbor mold and allow it to populate the space, the nylon ones are inert and stuff doesn’t grow In them. You can always add a uv light source to that pipe (intake) hvac type . They run. About 120$ or so. If you are running high humidity, this is preventative advise!
Sweet setup though, I seen ppl spend thousands and not get to that level of control! So kudos to that
Add co2 next run and see the wonders it does!! But you will have to seal it off , zero fresh intake air.
I'm struggling with maintaining humidity. I keep my fans running on low and have a one gallon humidifier in the tent. It's not making any difference at all. I'm in a room with baseboard heaters that I use to keep the temperatures around 18 degrees C. I'm in a 9 by 5 gorilla tent with two of the new gavita LEDs. I'm having a hard time getting those dialed in too.It's on its fourth run now. I veg for a few weeks and then flower in there. I run 9 plants total in flower even though I could do 50 with my license. Humidity I control with the intensity of my lights. For higher humidity in veg I turn the lights down to 600w per light, and that gives me humidity in the high 60's, low 70's. Transition I ramp up to 750, and finally 1000 in full flower, and that will keep humidity in the 40-50 range. It has to do with how often my fan cycles on/off.

I'm running LEDs and really don't have a heat issue. I was using HPS in the past and knew how to use that heat. I've been growing for a couple of runs now with a black dog phytomax 2 LED and had good results. I just recently switched over to gavita LEDs and having a hard time finding The Sweet Spot. I really like the quality of the Bud from the LED. They do seem to be stickier. I can't find much information online from anyone who's been growing with the new gavitas.Your extraction fan runs nonstop? If so, it can be extremely hard to keep humidity up.
I use an inkbird itc-308 digital temp controller on the extraction fan. It will only turn on when it gets to 26-27c in the tent, and shuts off at 22. This way, the lamps are used for their heat and light, and because it can take 10 min in my space for the temp to rise from 22-26 it allows for humidity to build up.
If heat builds up too fast, I dial the lamps down. Fan cycles less frequently.
I would not rely on your lung room for heat, let the lamps do that.

I'll give it a try. Plug the fan into timer and put it at 15 minute intervals.If temp is not an issue why not just put the extraction fan on a timer to come on for say a minute or two every 15 min-half hour? Youd have plenty of humidity then I bet.
