What kinda heat is the dehumidifier adding during lights out? Mine will raise my 4x8 drying closet 5-10F in a couple hours, even with constant ventilation. I run it on a temp controlled switch so it doesn't overheat the room and cook off terpenes.
And why are you letting your tent get up to 80 before venting? I'd bet the 12F +/- differential swing, coupled with rapid cooling when vents turn on, is gonna stress your plants. Plus, you'll lose terpenes in late flower being that warm.
I'm only on day 2 with dehumidifier. Week 5 of flower. Right now im at 11 hours lights off with dehumidifier on setting #2 of 10. I'm holding around 76°F and 35-40% RH.
Without the dehimidifier, it was getting cold at around 60°F with lights out, sometimes lower.
What do you recommend for temp differential? As I've already admitted in my previous post, i know that temp is a touch high for the mid flower stage. I'm planning to knock the temp max limit down to 77°F.
