Yeh for me the problem time is at lights off. Exhaust runs off of the thermostat but the air outside is cold (and wet) so there’s no exchange during the ‘night’ period. Works out ok though because the dehum runs on a timer only during lights out -when I have power to spare.
Jones, i use a couple of big "damp rid" buckets to lower humidity. They work pretty well and are fairly cheap. I rhink the ones i use are around $10 and last 4-6 months.
Hey @Tead what is the volume of your pvc hempy tubes? 2 gallons?
Howdy, just catching up on alot of reading. Hope im not to late to the show.
Hope you are doing great Tead!
Hmmm tht has me interested what are these buckets u speak of an where cud i get one or 3 lol.Jones, i use a couple of big "damp rid" buckets to lower humidity. They work pretty well and are fairly cheap. I rhink the ones i use are around $10 and last 4-6 months.
Have u tried 4" pipe?
I grab mine at the wally mart and ive seen em at other hardware stores and online of course. Its just Calcium Chloride in a 2 part bucket. It starts as a solid in the upper chamber and pulls moisture out of the air into itself. As it does this it melts down into the lower chamber. Once its all melted you replace it.Hmmm tht has me interested what are these buckets u speak of an where cud i get one or 3 lol.

Could probably buy a big bag of CaCl2 and make your own for cheaper.
Tead, im not sure how they would do in the wetlands. My rh has been at the mid to high 60s and two large (maybe gallon size) buckets take my rh down to the mod to low 50s. Three would probably get me to the 40s.
Dehumidifier would make more sense in the long run but im about maxed on power draw and definitely maxed on space for more shit.

I bet you’re using a lot less water now too eh?
Busy morning. One project... clippy clippy.
DBS. Underlit during a good portion of it's life and maybe cut a touch early, but here she is none the less.
Awesome, it’s great to keep the old strains going.
I think I’m going to use your clone tub idea. Seems like a much better use of space then this large thing I got, thanks for sharing that!
I have been reading all this talk about environment.
I have a different issue, my tents are always extremely arid, but if I turn my exhaust fans down then the temperatures spike up. I read somewhere about how vpd plays a big role in all of that.
But anyway I got to thinking about maybe setting up my exhaust fan to only come on when the temperature got to 85-90. That way I could let the humidity climb and also keep it from getting too hot.
In the winter my area gets quite dry (like 30%rh) so i bought a little $6 reptile fogger and rigged up a 2gal bucket with a styrofoam island for the fogger to rest on and a pc fan to circulate the fog. It brings the rh up to around 55-60ish% and uses very little electricity. Works waaaay better than wet towels or open buckets of water. Mine finally died after 4 years of use and im going to purchase another for this winter, maybe. The new house has humidity controls so perhaps i wont have to.I have been reading all this talk about environment.

Yeah winter time, I get way down to 15-20% thc. I have done quite a few runs so far, and though I have pretty limited lighting, I have had a hunch that it is my humidity being so low that's really been holding me back.In the winter my area gets quite dry (like 30%rh) so i bought a little $6 reptile fogger and rigged up a 2gal bucket with a styrofoam island for the fogger to rest on and a pc fan to circulate the fog.

Environment is so very important to getting the most out of what you have. Right up there with lights and nutes... Maybe even more important.
Yeah hoping this winter that with this 315w cmh I will be able to keep it on low and still remain in optimal temperature range.I found those cubes at HD. I like 'em. In my sweaty world, one has to be careful about moisture on leaf surfaces during cloning. Be sure to keep them well below the top so water doesn't drip from the top onto them. It's best just to set them up and ignore them completely for 2 weeks... tho I always poke at them.
Most of my environmental banter rotates around life in the swamplands. Desert hints have been unheard of until this point in time.
Fun ehh?
So... yeah... hint 1.... move to New Orleans. Your skin will thank you too.
I suspect you'll take a pass on that option.
Honestly... other than a humidifier, I got no real ideas.
Cooler lighting might help the issue some. Enclosing an HID or going with a cooler lighting type would be some options. That way you could run your fan less, but you'd still need a temp controller on it.
