dehumidifiers in grow tent question?

[grg61458]

Have a 2x4x6 tent. Humidity with it is at 53 to 55 percent, in early bloom now. To get it lower does anyone know if those small space dehumidifiers that run anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks will work in my space?

Yes should cover that space fine and then some. Most dehumids will specify how much space it will treat. You could get by with the smallest one out there

How is your lights on temps now ? A dehumidifier will add more heat.

There fine 74 to 76 most of the time, using LEDs a little more heat won't hurt.

Well the tent is in my bedroom trying to eliminate nose.

Do you have any ventilation at all?

A dehumidifier can easily put those temps in the 90s If your exchanging enough air, and if you exchanging a ton of air, the dehumidifier won't help much. If your saying your not venting at all your going to have smell issues from not filtering that are more noticeable than fan noise. If you run a decent (80-120 dollar) 200cfm in line fan at 30 to 50 percent it won't be that loud. If that's more than you want to deal with, how about running the dehumidifier outside of the closet to keep temps down, and get a fan going in there

Dehumidfiers are noisy like an elephant/whale low tone.

Oh yeah I have a 4 inch inline exhaust fan in there with a controller, the humdity level in the room is not much lower roughly 43 percent.

mate i live with terrible humidity, what i do is set my dehumidifier on the outside of my tent with the exhaust of the dehumidifier attached to my passive intake.

Yep.. peltier style dehuey works. I was a doubter but after seeing it start to fill up after a few days.. What really sold me is the low wattage it draws vs a full sized dehuey.
