Dehumidifier Placement ?

Guys i just grabbed a dehumidifier, when my lights turn on im at 99% reducing to only 80/75%.

Now ive got one, im really not sure where is the best place for it ? can anyone advise ?

also this is night time levels in the uk, mucho rain isnt helping. and they are 2 weeks into flower.

Space is probably around 2mtrs long 1.7 high and less than 1 mtr wide, 4 girls in there towards one end.

Thanks for your help guys, really didn't think about this, lol

Are you growing in a tent, or in an open room?

If an open room, it doesn't matter where you put it, so long as the size is adequate for the space. If using a tent, dehumidify the room the tent is in, again, location is rather irrelevant if its sized accordingly.

ok cool, its an open room, its a 600ml size, its on its way so ill just plug it in to the wall and see how we go, thanks buddy !

Up high is better. Warmer air dehumidifies easier.

Use all thread to hang some strut channel that will then support the dehu.

yea, sounds good , ill put a small ledge on the wall half way up

up high like @Renfro said. I hang mine off the ceiling joist ref pic below, give it at least a foot off the wall. Straight forward.

600ml equates to 1.2 pints. If that size is right that's the smallest dehumifier I've ever heard of. Our house hold units here come in 30pint, 50 pint and 70 pint models as far as I'm aware of. They make bigger ones for grow rooms but since you only have 4 plants I'd say you can do well with a small residential unit.

Yeah maybe he bought a humidifier?

How is he even getting 99%, the room would be growing mushrooms.

The one I started with in my 3x3 is smaller than that. Just 16 oz or 1 pint.

Now right now I am having to humidify because the air in the room is a bit less, but I realized this was one of my mistakes when planning out a tent. I considered small ones to be oversized for a tent without taking into account passive intakes and exhaust etc with an AC in the room. So I do have a large one ready if needed to set in the room, but so far my dehumidifier hasn't kicked on yet.
I definitely screwed up on the humidifier and got a tiny one as well, It's one thing I would tell others if they asked. Go way oversized on everything, and do it in the room instead of the tent if it is a small tent.
