Unless the space you're trying to dehumidify needs to stay cold, your best bet is just to stick a heater in there.
That's what I ended up doing. My basement is a cold moisture trap and my son's room was getting mold. Now it's all dry and toasty and my floors are warm!
Insulating your basement will also help a great deal.
Thats no good... We have 230v here. Is the voltage loss just about length of cord?
I do not care about meteorologist, I do care about budrot. Heating up your grow space in order to lower your RH is only math, there is still same amount of water in your air and even more because of higher evaporation caused by higher temperature. Risk is even higher! So your theory which is true (I am not saying it is not) is not apllicable in our environment with living biomass and pots full of water.
LOL
230V? Which country is that? Higher voltage is better, it results in less energy loss from long extension cords. Thin, small gauge cords are also bad.
Even if, does it mean something? I know the theory behind, things are bit different in real run…
what size fuse/ breaker are you dealing with your unit is only drawing about 8.3 amps. depending on what all is on that circuit you should be fine
Finland
Its 10amp fuse and already has stuff on it. I think you are counting in different voltage. My house has some 16A fuses too but changing them is something I don't want to do.
With that voltage you're fine.Finland

It would take years to tell you and it's already clear you don't want to listen.
I am one ear to listen and learn something new about growing weed especially about humidity control. But I have kinda feeling that only thing you will be repeating all the way round again and again is based on theory. And I know you do not like the fact, the theory is different than practice. So can we move further somehow? Or you are just another “more than three decades” grower who is not able to explain his claims other than with basic common theory about relationship between temperature and REALTIVE humidity?
Never mind, this thread is more about electricity so I appologise OP for spamming and leave. Thank you
Don't worry, its internet
my question got answered already.
Yep sorry was thinking 120V guess I should have asked where you areFinland

all good, it came up earlier in the thread but who reads whole threads anyway, not meYep sorry was thinking 120V guess I should have asked where you are
We are talking about growing weed indoor not about living room, meteorology or whatever else connected to the wheather and its changes. Dude is correct with theory I do not deny. But once you have plants and pots with medium inside the room, situation changes rapidly. Higher temp means higher transpiration thats obvious we do not need to talk about that, hopefully everybody agrees…? Higher temperature also means quicker evaporation of water from your medium, hopefully everybody agrees again. And all of that water goes the the air. In one moment you are happy you have properly working combo temp/Rh meter which only recalculate values of Rh accordingly to risen temp but at the same time you have more water expeling in the air. So RH may drop but it wont drop as much as it “should” be according the the chart. And the last thing you want once you are entering late flowering stage is lot of water in the air. Hot and humid environment is much more dangerous than cold and humid. Both sucks but one more than the other. In short, you need dehumidifer to remove moisture from the air. It also rise your temp because its the way how it works, they are more efficient with higher temps. Rising your temps only in purpose of lowering humidity is not the way when flowering weed, because you are actually doing nothing in sense of removing water. If your eyes do not see water, it is still in the air. Its kinda dumb explanation, but it does not mean it is not true. Hope it does make sense.Don't worry, its internet
So you are saying that plants perspirate so much more if you raise temps that RH stay same? I would also know how much temperature affects plant perspiration.
One big budrot mistake is having HPS bulb too close to plants. Maybe the heat it puts out makes big colas sweat too much and then they get rot, no with all kinds of RH levels. Leds might fix this, never tried.
