What size dehumidifier?

[bloads]

My grow room is a 10x12 room, but I'm only growing in one 5x5 square of it.

I have 2 4" 172 cfm duct fans, one intake and one exhaust.

I plan on adding my 600w light to this room, with more plants, eventually vertical, along with the 1000w that's in there now.

What size dehumidifier should I purchase?

Oh, I live in coastal San Diego, where humidity (and temperature) is usually in the 60s or 70s (great for veg, not as great for PM/flower).

Should I turn my intake/exhaust fans off during lights off, to help the air dry out as much as possible?

i don't think you want to turn off either the exhaust or intake fans. it might be best to go ahead and grab a dehumidifier.. especially if your to be adding to the room, as I'm sure you'll want to later..:rauch08:

any 60 or 70 pint dehumidifier will work perfect. there are presets but you will need to play with it a bit to find what works for your setup.

hope this bit of info helps.. I'm sure there are some locals from diego who kan give a little better insight..
