Tent dehumidifier

What do you guys run for a small dehumidifier with a digital control?
I've tried that route with mixed results. Then I decided to buy a much larger unit to dehumidify the entire basement instead. Things are much more constant now, in all of my grow tents (I have four of them in my basement).

This is especially more convenient if you've got just a bedroom or closet your grow tent is in. You can go with a medium or even small sized unit, dehumidify the entire space, and save the floor space in the tent.

Just a thought.

I tried that and it seems it’s not strong enough to pull moisture through the tent from the outside. I would assume the plant and hydro water is causing the humidity.

How are you exhausting your tent? If the humidity in the surrounding room is lowered, your exhaust fan should be able to properly take care of the in-tent humidity created by the plants and the water system.

I have a AC infinity and it’s running now constantly, but the RH goes up and down. Nothing too crazy, just looking for a little help.

I think I've gotten ahead of myself. What's prudent here is asking what your humidity levels are.

We may be trying to fix a non-problem LOL
