I guess my real question is why is your humidity so high...that IS the issue as we've discussed...I live in the tropics and have never once used a dehuey...I do however use mini splits in all applications...I have a dehuey in the area which I hang and dry my buds and it always fills in 12 hours due to the climate in which I reside...yours not filling isn't right...fans are key, more so that almost any other item in the room...
Hi, I live in the woods right on the coast, like 8 minutes from the ocean. It is really high humidity and mold is a problem here, in general. For example, in my house, if a piece of cat food gets wet and is dropped on the floor, within 24 hours it will be covered in mold.
You might be right about the fan, I cranked it up to the highest level at noon when I walked out of there. I will check again at midnight to see how much water it has pulled and if temps/humidity have changed.
I know it seems unreal but it's real. In the tent, the boys are dripping wet and the humidity is 98% if you can believe it. I barely water them at this point, but they are not my concern...
Like yesterday, I had the door open for the better part of 4 hours so fresh air was coming in and just before I closed the door at 2:30 the temps were 78 F and 75% humidity. That's the first time since early veg that I saw the humidity go lower than the temperature and I got all excited.
But then once the door was shut it skyrocketed again. I guess we will see what it is doing at midnight and again in the morning. The midnight reading is good to tell us what happened during lights out but it is the mid morning reading with lights going full steam that will give us a full picture. I feel like no matter what I should return the dehumidifier tomorrow and get a bigger one, because if I go to town, I can use that 40% off and get more for my money. Maybe I should get a second, big fan, too then. And wait on the exhaust. I don't know that I need exhaust, I think moving the air properly and getting a handle on this humidity is the answer, as you and Granger point out.
