My lights are running 6pm to 12pm. I feed at 6.30pm, 11.30pm 4 30am and 1145 am just before lights out.


I should feed early and be done with it??

I would get a dehumidifier and run it on a separate timer, any timer will work for a compact dehumidifier. If you have extra money t spend then they sell a humidistat that you plug your dehumidifier in and when the humidity reaches a certain level it kicks on, just like one that's use for an exhaust fan when the temps get too high. When the lights go out the dehumidifier turns on. If temperature is a problem then get a small space heater where you can adjust the temp you want which isn't that hard to find. Turn the space heater on like 70-75 and leave it on constantly that will also help burn off the humidity. If you don't fix the humidity now then all your hard work will go to waste with moldy shit. I would get that humidity down in the 20's for a while to stop the mold that's growing and kill it. Then try and maintain a proper humidity. Good Luck

I got a dehumidifier but it doesn't work with a timer. It is digital. Tried a sce saving heater but it doesn't do the job properly and consumes too much power. The dehumidifier is 300w and the heater is 1kw. I get what you are trying to say. With the exhaust I bought a thermo plug but that doesn't help with air changes does it? Plus I'm gonna need the exhaust on 24/7 in flower right?

Why do you feed so much? I feed maybe twice a week tops but your talking like 4 times a day.

That is a major drawback. The worst thing that can happen is not being able to water. I've had a pump fitting get clogged with roots on one of my tables and it went for three days without water before the plants wilted and I noticed it. That's something because they are under 2kw of light. I figure if I lost my electricity for that long my plants would be fine. Any longer and I'd just open the res, plug up the water fittings in the table, fill the table from the res, let it sit for 15 minutes and drain. Wash rinse and repeat until the power comes back on.

Could be mold, could be something in the condensation but doubtful. You need to make sure you have good airflow, what is your fan setup like?

Hey man, I have the exhaust on only with lights on. I have a clip on fan aimed at the lights and an oscillating one aimed at the girls 24/7.

I was talking to someone and he was on about air flow.

I think i'm not doing it right, I think I need to have the exhaust running when the lights are off too and maybe use an inline bringing air in rather than the passive intakes?

What would you recommend?

Are you giving water late in the day? You need to move the moisture out of the tent before the lights go out. You may want to use something inside it at night that will absorb moisture as well.

Like a damp rid block or something?

Why not leave the fans on, would that help you?

Yeah I have one on 24/7.

I'm constantly checking and it makes it a bit easier. To be honest though I don't like the compactness of this system so will be doing a DIY one soon.

Wash rinse and repeat, that's a familiar legal term, sorta.

Oscillate a fan towards your plants night and day 24/7. Active exhaust to the Outside is important so that you don't just keep redrawing the same air through the system.

Okay will do. I have my exhaust venting out the chimney. It's the room that the tent is in. Its always around 19 in there :/
