Isoterrapine Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 inside the tent and my humidity is not stable I don't know what to do. I have a metre that has a timeline I can't upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Extracting outside the room? Not always advisable to dehum inside the tent. What size is the tent? Watering schedule? Active or passive intake, humidity rises during the night, warmer air holds more moisture, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy One Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Holy grail is output to the outdoors, if you can make some kind of vent wedged into a window. If not, seal the room up and run the dehum inside that same room, they work better when they can stretch their legs so to speak. Watch out for showers and pasta cooking, which can affect the rh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.o.i.n.t Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Condensation in windows, hacky solutions like fat combi pipes at windows.... My mind thinks - 'Tells'. OP. I don't know your circumstance, but your place must be getting damp, too? Try and sort it mate. No one pays any attention to a well placed vent cover in a wall, I'd guess (as said above, 'out')...long as it don't stink.. Roof space if you have an upstairs/loft? If it's well ventilated, that can work. I doubt your dehumidifier could keep up with that many plants pumping out water. Unless it huge. Damp/mould? It's shite for health, really shite.

Isoterrapine Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 It's a netta dehumidifier and moving it outside has helped with the humidity greatly. Thanks all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
