I run my light at 50% with a distance at about 24" during early veg. I run at about 18" and at 75% in what I consider mid veg and then 100% during flower. Light distance during flower start at about 12"-18" and I don't raise them again until flowers are about 6"-8" from the light. I allow the flowers to grow into the light.Do you ever turn your lights up 100% during veg? I’ve just turned up to 75% at the beginning of my second week of veg. Just now becoming familiar with the light and the plants response
I always vent outside. The only situation I can see not doing that is if you in extreme cold dry area. My dehumidifier uses more power than the everything else combined.Urm... Ok... But that wasn't implied, stated or otherwise prilificated.
He's in a room. He asked a question. Exhausting outside of that room is necessary to solve his dilemma. Exhausting outdoors seems better than into a home you live in...
A preachy thing on rules and quoting me as though I sponsor them... Not so great.
Only real rule I stated is that he needs a dehuey. Your sermon, I'm afraid, will diminish this point.
I don't because venting inside helps maintain my environmental temps. I can keep a very steady 80-82 during lights on and 70-72 during lights off. I'd also have to make a hole or remove a window to vent outside. If I needed to do this to maintain the environment, I certainly would ... but since I don't have that problem, I won't. It's not necessary for my setup.I always vent outside. The only situation I can see not doing that is if you in extreme cold dry area. My dehumidifier uses more power than the everything else combined.
Also now that I think about it I use a passive system too, when exhaust goes on cooler air does go in one side out the other.I sealed up my windows, put blinds on windows then covered it all with plywood with a small ac Unit in the window.
solved all my problems keep room the tent is in cooler. Small 5000 btu.
temps stay 80 during the summer In my tent. Sure you pay for ac but plants dig it like people.
lower room temp tents in, worked,I did not pipe ac into the tent, I just replace the tent air a lot.
10 degree difference between tent and room gives you air to cool tent down.
works for me. I have even replaced the ac in window.been doing it so long.
now with LEDs it’s like luxury rooms always cool.old school ac no thermostat.
hooked up to a greenhouse type thermostat turns ac on and off at set temp.
redneck perfection. room is at the back of house coolest room in house , no sun.

Like looking at art work, nice room brotherEveryone control’s their environments a little differently. I live in Colorado so it’s very dry here. I have not had to use a dehumidifier at all. Especially during the winter the RH will be around 25% if not lower depending on Mother Nature. I run humidifier and heater in my 10x12 grow room with a exhaust fan the exhausts outside. In the winter the exhaust is set on a timer to only run a certain amount of time. Summer the exhaust fan runs 24/7. Basically I’m trying to say learn your environment and do what works best in your situation. I have also ran a tent and exhausted into the same room the tent was in and it helped keep the tent environment stable.

I don't see your dehumidifier inside your tent. If I'm reading what you said correctly, its in there somewhere. I use a dehumidifier about 1/2-3/4 of the year ... with winter not needing it so far. I put my dehuey in the room where I draw intake air from. That way, it's already conditioned before being drawn into the tent. This works very well for me ... and I'm not taking up valuable space inside my tent.This was about 11 days into 12/12 .
The humidity climbs as they grow more leaves and a gentle trim job to reduce foliage helpsView attachment 1204794
Thanks man! It’s really come a long way since the start.Like looking at art work, nice room brother
That’s the fun of it all, making your grow better your way!Thanks man! It’s really come a long way since the start.
I didn't put it in until week 3, I believe that pic was 10 days after switching the light cycleI don't see your dehumidifier inside your tent.

If space becomes an issue, it's worth considering.
