Appreciate the advice man! once the humidity is sorted I'm hoping the temps will sort itself out, 600watt hps about 20-30inch from the plants and the temp is 17C.. really? moisture is building up on the leaves lapping over leaves.. so should I just have the dehum next to the tent or in the tent?

Lower the hood man keep it as close as u can man! I use the hand under the hood test...if it's 2 hot for ur hand it's 2 hot for the girls I keep my hood max 15" from my canopy.a bigger fan blowing over ur ladies will help dissipate the moisture bruv

Yeah I will lower it again when I next go up, I did lower a small amount earlier but I guess not enough!

If your tent is that small not sure why the humidifier you have wouldn't be enough. Although you might be pulling more in. I don't think that humidity is as dangerous as some people do although of course it can cause mold but a little oscillating fan should prevent that

Hey guys I been to the grow today and its dreadful! worst experience growing so far lol, the plants are looking ok but the temps was on 14-15°C and that's fucking awful I feel the plants are crying to me.. so in the end I brought the Dimplex Forte 10 Litre dehumidifier from argos like advised and I hope in a few days Il see a difference.. got the 600watt hps about 15inch from the plant I did the hand test.. the low temps have really slowed things down i think but here is a pic I took today day17 flower thanks for the help again really appreciate it :D

Seems to be slowly going down and the temps are going back during the end of the day.. cant have the dehumidifier running over night with the extractor fan as its to much noise and the walls are sensitive.. but during the day is fine, hoping in a few days humidity will drop to about 20-30%

You can choose when u want it to kick on n when to turn off based on humidity n sit it on some cardboard or a rug to help with the vibrations
