Humidity

I have 32 plants in a 10x7x7 flowering room. Im using 2 600w bulb hps for my set up. My problem now is my humidity levels. Due to the amount of plants and little space I can get up to about 80%. So I brought in a dehumidifier but unfortunately it shoots my temp up to about 32c, when normally I can maintain about 26 ish

My question is whats another option for me?? I was thinking of maybe just turing the dehumidifier during the off hours and hopefully it will work. I'vealso heard for other growers that with co2 you can maintain levels of temp at 35c and the plants will be okay....Anyone else heard of this??

any suggestions would be appreciated.

heyy man mabe you should make a DIY a/c:

Shouldnt cost you much and u could drop the heat and the humidity of ur grow pretty well.


a simpler way would be get a tray of some sort , fill it with ice, and put it infront of a fan faciing the plants. you could even get 3-4 small fans and do this method in 3-4 different areas in ur room. Hope it helps bro!

Thats a great idea thanx man, I might just go with a window a/c though....and hope for the best with that......I just need a fi for this problem stat lol

With CO2 you can go up to 35º C. You would definitely see a difference in yield too.

yup a a/c would drop the humidity down or swamp coolers

I think you should definitly keep hu midity a priority bro, i guess humidity plays a pretty huge rol in marijuana growth and you could also get mold if you dont
take enough action, just a reminder!

and gud luck wit ur setup man!

You should start your own thread....but light green usual means they need to get fed more.

No worries. Good luck.

If you have your exhaust setup for a good exchange, the humidity will not be a problem. What is you exhaust setup?
