Use the AC or open door.. currently

I've seen it at 90% before when the tent is sealed up.

Says it's 78% outside around Tulsa


I may just have to invest into a quest in the Future

I run 4x8s with hydro and I’m always chasing rh issues. Or I was. Even with a mini split ac and 70lt dehumidifier at peak plant I would get lights off spikes in the 80s at times. No bueno for mold.

I put this in and problem resolved. It’s overkill for most grows but I was sick of not having control over VPD.

My basement has central air. In my tent I have the ac infinity controller 69 and a basic humidifier set on 70%. The controller keeps my rh at a high of 62 and a low of 60.

So running daytime in the 55% range, shut the lights off, temps drop, leaves let go of the water they have in them and boom spike.

I have come down in the morning before to water droplets all over the inside of the tent. That's a problem. I run sealed with CO2, which makes it worse.

Says 639, but it does not run full time. The AC does most of the work, this thing kicks in when the ac is not enough.

But yeah, it's like having another light. Way overkill for most.

Nice to have it outside the tent tho, it does make heat which is not put into the tent

that’s the main reason why I haven’t bought a bigger one..just using too much power Moe.my dehuey which is on the floor is going up and down like a yo-yo after giving them a drink.it fluctuates from 59-68 .fan goes off when rooms cooled then in the space of 1.30secs goes to 68 and has gone to 74.the inkbird at canopy level is saying 50% and the dehuey which is setup at a little below canopy level is saying 50-52%..I’ve usually been able to control it lights on but not this grow .I think I might of overdone it throwing an extra plant in there

With 6 plants day to night fluctuation was 62% to 80%, in bloom it can peg the dial at 94%. I have 12 in there right now, struggling to keep at the daytime 60%.

Our Hvac system has built-in dehumidifier so I set the ambient rh on my t-stat at 40% then use the tent exhaust fan via controller 69 to regulate rh in the tent. I keep it around 45-50% these days(late flower). My day/night temps fluctuate 5 degrees or so but rh stays relatively stable.
