Now, my room is sealed and about...I forget...about say 10' X 14' or close to it....This last run I had 16 plants flowering under 4 1K HPS lights in Mag. XXXL air cooled hoods with a full on 2 ton mini split. I have the veg. room separated by a wall and sealed door of course and it's about a 1/3 the size or so....Air exchange is done by 2 opposite inline fans with duct just through the divider wall.
I ran 1-70 pint Danby dehuy(brand new) on a continuous drain(w/condensate pump) and found that it certainly was not enough for the 'lights out' temp. drop. So, I added another 70 pint dehuy to the very opposite side of the room and it too was on continuous drip. This helped the night time temp. drop increase in rH go from 80%+ to anywhere from 60%+-70%+. However, while running 2 70 pint dehuies at their max turbo speed etc., I could never NOT reach a peak of 60%+ as SOME point during the night...There was always at least a spike which my Sentinel CHHC-4 would tell me every time the next morning and I reset and checked it daily.
ANYONE else have this issue with regular dehuies? I'm thinking I need to invest in a big ass industrial dehumidifier because I'll be running all 6 lights with at least double the plants very soon!
Any suggestions on a great industrial dehuy?!
Thanks in advance!!
