Only options are a dehumidifier or exhaust when humidity gets too high. A/c helps cut the humidity as well.
Thanks gotta exhaust or roll out for a dehumidifier as only have a humidifier - can someone link me a humidity chart as i suck at search bar believe nmeeks had a good one but damn if i can find it now and is 79-80% way to high or as i'm thinking boarder line - 60 would be ideal ? - taking on some learning curves in a sealed room 58% and humid as hell out so maybe ill let it ride as like out is 12pm 2.5 hrs and hope the weather is 35 like predicted - sucks wishing for shit weather to keep your gardens ideal .... there addiction for you ....Only options are a dehumidifier or exhaust when humidity gets too high.

Make sure you buy that has the, drain option, That way you can hook up a garden hose up to the unit and just set the RH that you want say 50%, then run the hose to a drain, that way you don't have to fuck with anything, Frigidaire make a 70 pint, that the only size I think that comes with the garden house connection on the back.
Solid advise much appreciate the help - sirId keep it between 50-60% in flower to prevent rot. Spikes for short amounts of time shouldn't hurt. Just dont want it that high the majority of the time.In veg, you can go up to 80%. Keep in mind also, the De-humidifier it going to add a good bit of heat to the room as well. So plan accordingly
While were dealing with the humidity issue let me toss a question out there or two...
1 - when is best to feed - lights on - before lights off (prob not ) or in the middle or
Well that is not a option to me as no accessible drain without great security concerns but appreciate the answer bro - def gonna need some dehumidifier of some sorts thou - still working out the kinks here but will get it dialed in .... might even venture a little towards dwc soon as i really wanna get this room as self sufficient as possible ....
have a great day all gonna go stress a little maybe kill light and run led for last 2 hrs - thou won't help with humidity - hum maybe off to buy one

hum . now that i give it some thought there is a opening between the wall and the other wall or should i say a gap of space behind wall about 8-10 in between the sheet rock and cement wall - and it leads behind the sitting space where the ac vent and hot water heater is at - and i just installed a new air heat system but needed a pump to get the water up from ac out to the outside can run it right to that hose during winter with a small whole in wall - Good looking out bro ....well another thing you can do is mount the Dehu, up on the wall say in your grow room, then drill a hole threw the wall & run the garden hose into a trash can, just make sure you mount the Dehu Higher on the wall then the trash can out side the room, let gravity take over..;)
Also I have a friend who does just that, then uses the pure water to feed/water back to the plants.
Yea all is good as i stated good thing i smoked this morning or i would been stressed out about it - feel you today was an abnormal day - hell its 64 out now in nov 18 wtf... room has been sleeping since 12 its 75 in there with a r/h of 68 so going down and i'm in the middle of the room's construction so no ac yet unless i run the house ac and that aint happening ... figured the hot days were over and i would install as needed as i want the best of everything , so not real anxious to toss all the cash around at once - just got the tea maker - turbo knoner and a new p/h meter - next a gravita 1k missed the boat on ebay last week - dude had 4 at 335 now 520 cheapest ... hit that mail box wed or thurs on da way ....Yes, always feed in the first few hours of the lights being on, mainly just like Oscar said -- it is also better for plant absorption as they will love the ferts more when lights come on.. I know it sux that it is warm up here sose, but i'm hoping this is the last warm day of the season, come on already.. loving the weather but it's almost thanksgiving... lol!
always in the past when days are like this, borderline warm/sticky, always throw the A/c on.. no big deal and cuts the humidity out of the air and keeps it steadily cool in the rooms... hopefully you got it under control.. just chill bro and all will work out, plus by tonight it will drop in temp and we are looking at a nice week of decent weather and cold nights
Here is what i did - nothing tomorrow temps are low all week and in the 30's next week but my ass will be in walmart tomorrow burning some plastic .... much appreciate the link brother - now that is solid help .....So what did you end up deciding to do, are you going to buy a Dehu, or do something different ?
Here is the one we use for little things, like drying rooms and shit, nothing to heavy

sweet - another option sounds better - guess i need to borrow a drill .....lolI run both my units with a 5 gallon bucket drips into and dump if u dont have a drain... u can buy a lid and drill hole put drain to unit in to and use for watering plants nice clean water they love it...Home depot sells the lids to there buckets ...unit sits on a stand and drips into will take pick simple..
I would have alot less fun gadgets and be paying alot more for shit - thats for sure - as always much appreciate doll ... thou i could use a drill if i had one just never been a tool guy had my future bro in law here with a tool box and i was able to use the tools its just i never was a fixed guy so i never collected tools - was to busy buying all the new drugs i suppose .... lolhome depot might drill it they cut wood for ya... besides not a drill as usual I will send u a lid cut out.. what would u do with out me ...all those machines in barn theres a use for everyone... drill press is what will do..just so happen to have one...lol and I know how to use it...
Ok - i see exactly what need to be done with the dehumidifier and gonna need a new small carbon filter to vent air out and nothing but my squirrel fan thing to vent in being it will be air from outside the room and not outside the house just a gar between my walls so no bug issues on filtering in and i think the fact you have it on a rail helps also as its moving constantly not just sitting .....View attachment 352706 View attachment 352707 View attachment 352708 View attachment 352709 View attachment 352710 View attachment 352711 here ya go Sos your still going to n eed to vent out but that hole u were talking about should work... all u need is high enough to get bucket under.....this is veg I dont have lid on in here and keeps at that temp 1000 watt hps with 12 t5's
And at least i have 2 of those fans sitting around and a super heavy white one with ' um well it kinda looks like a snail - think its just a old style cmf fan working really good pulls a large amount of air from the room and forces it out pretty fast only draw backs is its heavy and loud8x8 room veg..1st pic of fan was sucking out ....other was bringing fresh in ...other side of room
