Late night work, just got done installing a new AC Infinity variable inline fan coupled with their "computer closet exhaust" installed backwards as an intake fan. Oddly the "computer cooling system" they sell has a "leaf" button to turn off the lights, yeah computer rooms. ;)

So the inline sucks out and the closet exhaust blows in to get a slight positive pressure. I'm currently running a test with them on and a micro dehumidifier without any plants or lights and I've dropped the RH from 71% down to 54% and still falling with the closet door closed.

Tomorrow put the vizqueen back up and run a completely sealed test. This is with the whole house dehumidifier set at 60% before it kicks on when I put plants into flower I'll drop the house to 50%, between two dehumidifiers that should be enough.

Two weeks of cleaning and scrubbing with bleach, then again with 15% hydrogen peroxide, $300 in new ventilation equipment and two days of cutting holes to put the equipment in, I think I may have finally kicked the botrytis problem that's been plaguing me since late 2019 when I switched to LED's and added about 40% more mass to my plants.

I got through the last two years by just keeping the closet open and putting a wal-mart oscillating fan on the plants while saying to hell with visible light security. When I had to close up the closet last year, I got mold again. So either my ventilation had to change or I had to ditch the LED's and go back to a 400hps and just give up on dense plants.

I'll repaint later, the jigsaw did some damage but not enough to worry about, the buds will be well above the damaged paint. Other than that it looks like I might be able to be running plants in flower again within 2 weeks and my own bud again in Sept.

All this work and even now the wife agrees, when we buy our next house it will have a room with a mini-split AC/dehumidifier combination dedicated to plants, not just a 2 foot X 5 foot closet.

Down to 52% RH while I typed this. YAY!!!
