only problem is you have to vent them too, they throw out a canny amount of heat. and the ones that don't you have to empty almost daily.

Most have a constant drain hose attachment that you can rig into a large can to catch it.

My tank on my dehumidifier is only 2 litres so I connected the constant drain hose to a 10litre container. Empty it every 3-5 days when in use.

If the RH is good during lights on you can use the humidistat on the Dehumidifiers to gauge what %RH you want to maintain and then it may only come on during dark hours to keep RH under control at that time.

This is how mine runs.

Then during dark hours it adds extra heat to the room without me needing a convector heater etc.

Good info jond man. Tbh I don't really need a dehumidifier, I use it late flower to swell trichs and only occasionally need it during our typically wet summer to autumn.

Got a link to the type you run?

Unfortunately no I don't.

I got it from COMET before they went belly up.

I'll try and post info about it.

But for my 4 plant 400w grow I use a 10L/day dehumidifier.

It only increases my ambient temps by 3C but my temps are well controlled.

Keeps my night temps up from 18C to 21C.

Where do you mainly shop?

ALDI had one on special offer the other week. 20L a day, constant drain, humidistat, 55% constant function etc.



I can link you to amazon or wherever you shop. But BandQ Homebase etc stock pretty good ones. You'll be looking at £150 or under for a decent one.

Picture update.

Before and after cleaning the bottom growth plus others.


I've also tied some of the leaders to the ring to keep the heads even.

Yes you can trim them up a bit if you wanted to.

I would be looking at how dense the canopy is and whether your 600w is gonna penetrate the canopy enough. If it is I wouldn't worry about trimming up much.
