Dehumidifier tips?

hey y’all I run a 16”x32x60” cab and my humidity at night gets up to 60+ tomorrow will be the start of week 6 in flowering. I thought about buying those small humidifiers that do 700ml a day. My plant drinks a liter of water almost everyday

Unless you can rig up the dehumidifier outside the cabinet it'll generate too much heat and take up valuable space in that size cab.

Another way you can reduce humidity is a stronger exhaust and active intake (inline fan with controller) IF the air outside the tent is dry enough.

A small 9”x14” will heat up the cab? I have a strong exhaust, strong enough to have negative pressure. I don’t think you want an intake fan, especially for my set up

If it has a motor it'll produce heat. It's small, maybe if it's really efficient but I'd count on increased temps. It's not a big deal if you put it on a timer during lights out, doesn't sound like you'd need it lights-on.

I throw active intake in all my tents, cabinets, rooms. Helps during transition periods like spring/fall when my temps and RH swing a bit. Don't always have them on but brining in cooler/drier air works to maintain the environment as well as exhaust.
