Give me the skinny on dehumidifiers???

I need for flower room its high, I'll probably dry in W/I closet in same room.

I have a lot of air movement on all levels of plants so I think that's helped but I'll be drying tonite.

I'm only gonna run in my flower room for now, 24/7 at 55% until I read otherwise. The room needs it bad with the jungle in there.
 
So How do you guys in the know set these ? I went with Frigidaire 70

When should I run it?

How can I vent it?

Is it ok to let temps get a little higher during lights out so that I can run dehumidifier?

I leave fans on 24/7 but AC in room is only on during lights ON

Should I just run AC 24/7 and not bother with Dehumidifier?

Im about to start 6th week of flower.

Thanks alot
 
Depends on how wet your room is which will depend on ambient as well as how full the room is with plants.
AC normally good for maybe 20% off ambient. So if it is a soggy mess A/C alone won't do.

I like to drop my humidity as flowering progress, I'd take 40% if I could get it that low. They did say the sensor on my unit was funky too and replaced, but I'm alas, still waiting.
 
Just out of curiosity, what is the size of your flower room?

Right now my room is set up badly, I have a 5x5 area with a couple leds and a 10x6 with Gavita on the light rail. Basically a mess:roll: total area is 15' 8'" x 13' 6" a spare bedroom with a 6x10 closet not being used atm. I'm venting my chiller and stand alone AC out a window. I'm thinking I could vent everything into closet then set up a 8 inch fan into attic. But I'm overwhelmed and lost lol

I haven't been running dehumidifier but may start tonight on a timer for 8 hours during lights out. It causes more heat than I like and not sure how to vent it properly.
