So everyone said don‘t grow in a crawl space. However, I wanted to setup a second tent and that is the only place that I had room.
This is what I did. I setup a 3x3x6 grow tent on its side, bought a 4 foot LED (link below) put a heated tile floor in for the winter, and a can 33 filter and fan in.
I had 6 plants in the tent and put netting at a diagonal. I trained the plants into the netting. I used high quality seeds and Fox Farm Dirty Dozen Fertilizer with adjusted PH. This setup yielded over a half pound of pretty good bud.
I wanted to push on and make my bud better! I thought that the Co2 might be low in the crawl space so I bought an AutoPilot APC8200 Co2 Controller. It said my co2 was between 300-400 PPM. I bought a regulator and a 20 pound Co2 tank and started dosing Co2. I realized that the Co2 was escaping so I shut the vents in the tent. This made the humidity sky rocket.
My solution to the high humidity was to run a duct fan for 10 minutes every hour to vent the tent to the Crawl Space and release the humidity. This however only brought the humidity to about 85% which is still way too high (I was probably way too high as well).
So here is my question. How do I keep Co2 high and humidity low In a small crawl space grow???
This is what I am thinking but would love to get more options. I could get a second smaller tent such as a short stack or mother keeper and put a dehumidifier in it. Then I would make it a closed loop ventilation system with the grow tent And flexible ducting. This way I could circulate the air through both tents without having the dehumidifier use valuable grow space. I am worried about the dry air blowing on the plants but at least I can direct it with the flexible ducting.
Does anybody have any advise or easier options for me?
