Hi all,
I have a 4x4x6 grow tent in my basement. It's got 195 CFM active intake, passive exhaust. Both intake and exhaust is ran through ducting to outside (through a window that I boarded up and cut two duct holes in).
My tent is sitting at about 50-60% humidity...It's almost 100% humidity outside (vancouver island). Would it be useless to add a dehumidifier to my grow room due to the fact that I am pushing in humid air all the time from outside? I have one that I could put in the tent...but I'm afraid I would just be wasting electricity.
Maybe I should look at pulling air from the basement itself (a little warmer / less humid)...I thought grabbing air from outside would best, but now I am reconsidering it half way through flower and having difficulty keeping humidity < 60.
Looking for some input from experience.
Thanks!
