My Dehumitifer & ac keeps the % within 5% of my set controls , I want my room @50% all times . it does jump 45-55 but most of the time it’s sits at 50. expect at lights out, there’s a spike , but it’s back in range in bout 30ish min.
I’m running a Quest 105.
I don’t really have humidity cycles in the room except lights out , After I water it doesn’t go over 55% but the Dehumitifer is over kill, so it sucks it up n goes to limp mode till it climbs a bit. Then it does it again.
The 105 with a 3.5ton mini drinks water out of the air , it pulls it out of the plant , so I’m basically speeding up their Metabolism to take in more food n water .
When I said wet n dry cycles I’m speaking about the medium, I want it to get a full range of conditions over 24hrs . Lights on , wet medium, enough that it’s ready for water 24hrs later, I want the soil to dry to take in more air, it’s critical for healthy roots, if your roots are good they will work harder n make more bud.
Not sure if that answers it or not,
I went back for 4ths on dessert ,(dam shadder has me in a cloud) I’ll reread it over coffee at work, might interpret it differently then lol.
ok, I also thought you meant wet dry cycles from your dehumidifier too by the way it was worded in your original quote. I was pretty confused and wondered what you meant cuz my humidifier only does one setting and thats whatever I set the digital read out to and it keeps it like yours...about +/- 5%
I’m an over kill kinda guy, and one thing that contributes to my success is a huge Dehumitifer, the more wet dry cycles you can introduce in the flowering period the bigger your plants will be,
