You're really kneecapping yourself if you don't get your environment straightened out.
Yes, I understand that clearly.
It may not make economic sense for me to grow in the winter. I don't have a market and the market is flooded anyway. Sigh.

I'm telling you, we have similar conditions. My RH is in the 20s, ambient temps 64. I don't even run a humidifier, I use fabric grow bags, so that helps with the humidity. So does have environmental controls.
Let me digest this and check out the AC infinity models. Thanks.

We run the controller 67 on both tents, the controller 69 has more features and wifi. I can't stress it enough, once your environment is where it needs to be things get WAY easier.
Back again, convinced. Don't give up on me.
I think the consensus is to improve the tent environment by adding a controller. I'm shopping for a controller.
I checked out the AC Infinity 67 controller but it looks to have proprietary connectors for the fans. Do I have to use AC Infinity fans for the AC Infinity controller?

I use ac infinity fans with my controller 67,i use a 6 8nch for my 5x5.
I have a Can Fan with speed controller. I'll look for an AC Infinity type of controller. Thx.

Curious, are you running a heater to help get into the 80s?

That is more on off, that won't vary the speed of the fan, but that's certainly a way to do it.
I checked out the AC Infinity compatibility lists, CanFan is not a UIS supported device. It looks like I have to buy into the AC Infinity ecosystem. Controllers and fans. Not sure about the humidifier.
I'm investigating Inkbird over AC Infinity.

Hold on don't order yet! There is an ink bird that does both
Inkbird ITC-608T Temperature and Humidity Controller 1800W ETL Listed AC Dual Stage Outlet Thermostat with Temperature and Humidity Sensor Mushroom Greenhouse Reptile https://a.co/d/hMFJdGV
This does look like a tasty find.
If I understand this correctly...
The 608T assumes heat or humidity will be on demand.
For my application right now the tent is 80°F +/- w/one light on 24/7 and a fan on low. There is no demand for heat or cool.
Later I'll be turning the light off for 6 to 8 hours (eventually 12/12).
During the light off period the internal temp of the tent will fall to ambient basement temp, around 62°F. The demand will be for heat.
Still later when the second light is turned on the temp will exceed 80°F so the demand will be for cool. (Which will be a fan blowing heat out the window).
Heat/cool is one sensor.
Separate from heat/cool the humidity monitoring requires a second sensor.
....the separate units better fit my application.
