@DEEPDIVERDAVE hey man. Newbie here on first grow. Been reading thru the forum and noticed you have a 50 pint dehumidifier. How does it do? I’m having trouble w high humidity and this is the size I’m considering. Any help would be great.
The first 50 pint dehumidifier lasted 9 years, continuous use.
The second works great and has “pump” discharge capability.
The third is for laundry “gentle” dry in house (Mrs. Daisy likes to wrinkle free dry delicate clothing).
The heat generated can be a problem, if contained in the grow tent.
I have the dehumidifier in second tent, feeding grow tent and lung room.
Window AC unit would fix my problems ($200.00).
Dual hose AC/Dehumidifier ($500) would do the job.
Separate Cooling and heat exhaust hoses.
PNW Island temps/humidity for daytime are a challenge.
HLG lights run cool enough but keeping RH under 60% while in flower.

Thanks man. I feel like I’m pretty good on most stuff but the higher humidity has been driving me crazy! Plants just started flowering and I wanna be able to drop humidity to avoid any issues.
I run the dehumidifier during lights-off and keep grow tent under 70%RH.
Lung room (single car garage) has windows (open/close, as temps dictate).

I picked up a portable ac for $50 from a seller on offer up that ports out the window. Also has a dehumidifier function and the drain water is 15ppm. Get about a gallon a day. Being on the coast I run it and the dehumidifier at night. Then I get like 2 gallons overnight.
