Any suggestion on a good dehumidifier for a 3x3x80" tent. RH at 80 and in flower stage don't want mold or bud rot as buds start to thicken up.

That may be a tall ask… I too was looking into one for my 3x and not much out there in the mini dept And if I’m not mistaken the byproduct of a dehu is heat. So idk your situation but I could see a usual type unit making it real hot real quick in a tent. Assuming it can even fit in there with your plants.
3x3 life with full plants and equipment is a pain in the ass in my experiences lately. Just took out my humidifier cause I got tired of moving so much shit to get to it and fill it

Better to dehumidify the room
Those little mist things don't really perform well and larger ones have a lot of heat

What do you consider little 250sq ft? And large 500sq ft. The room my tent is in 24 x12 or 288 sq ft. There is also no heat source for the room so when the temperature drops to 40 outside the room drops as well

I consider that big enough to handle the heat from the compressor and your heat cost will be lower

Now that I have installed a dehumidifier in the room the humidity is 58 and temp is 63. The humidity in tent with lights on and exhaust fan running is 39 and temp 79.

I found a old ac, heater, and dehumidifier ( edgestar ap410hs) that I brought when I first tried growing and hooked it up over a5 gallon bucket for the drainage. In 2 days the bucket was full. Thanks for the advice can I exhaust the air going outside from the unit back in to the room?

But if the bucket is still in the room it isn't removing all it can

I emptied the bucket today and placed it back under the unit. I’ll try to empty it every 2 days

Don't drive the humidity too low! If my grow room humidity was 39% I would want to raise it! There is a very technical theory called VPD that tells you the temp and humidity you need to maintain based on your air temp vs plant leaf temp, but for the easy reference I keep my room between 45-55 RH.

I got a 2x2. I've been in flower for 1 week. Just started to get water on my tent walls. So just order in small dehumidifier 30oz reservoir. Did I just waste money and if I did. What should I do next? My heat is cranked all the way up. Temp is at 75 and humidity at 51%. Im sure humidity will rise over night.

1) start your own thread for your issue
2) I really don't see a problem with the dew. Just means the air outside the room is cold enough to collect dew on the tent walls. happens to my incoming ducts a lot
3) a humidifier is not a bad purchase for a grow, if it's sized appropriately
