Hey guys, I'm having what I think are some serious humidity problems. I have a rubbermaid grow box (2 31 gal containers). They are inside my closet. Inside are 2 plants in soil. For light I'm using a 150W HPS. I have 2 passive intakes and one 33cfm intake fan. I also have a 33cfm exhaust fan hooked up through dryer vent tubing to a homemade carbon filter. I just switched to 12/12 on May 17.
I am having problems with my humidity getting high at night when the lights are off. During the day, if i can keep the closet door open, humidity stays around 35-45%. However, at night with the closet door closed and sealed so no light comes through, I have humidity get up to 80 or even 90%. My plants haven't started to flower yet though I see signs of preflowers.
Last night I put a bowl of rice in there to use as a dessicant but it didn't seem to work at all. What can I do to get the humidity down to where it needs to be? Oh yeah, temps during the day range from 77-80 deg Farenheit and at night hover around 68 deg Farenheit.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
