Thought about it then thought about perhaps an odor it could put off and decided to get dehumidifier for $100 there are cheaper ones but mine can do a 12x12 room :D

I just looked it up on internet & do not think it would work in a grow room or as well as an dehum. I wouldn't chance it.

I just would not want to smoke it, as said above why risk it? Heat lower humidity, but you can buy a small dehumidifier for cheap you have to empty it daily, but I always look at my garden daily, I bought an auto-drain model so it runs continuously to the preset humidity level.

I tried it and had the same concerns as everyone... Would it hurt my flowers... Worked for me in a small area. I had issues of 80% RH and after a week, its stable and it does not breach 60%. For a 3x3x6 space, it cant hurt unless you pour it into your plants.. LOL I bought another one for my bathroom/lab, where my nutes are. It has kept the smell and dampness out. $3 at Home Depot (small cup version)
I cant say for sure this would work for you, but it did for me and that is what I can say about it.
Good luck!!

Damprid is anhydrous Calcium Chloride. We've used it to dry plants in an enclosed location. As long as it doesn't touch the plants, using it to dry air is perfectly fine. It turns into a translucent slime as it absorbs water so be sure to have it in a pan of some sort.

The one they sell at Home Depot is only $3 and its all self contained. Cheap and no mess..> Just dont spill it
Normally I would make my own version but for $3, it really is not worth it for me. However, these were my results in a small area.

I also tried using Rice as a De-humidifier but it really had no impact.. (most likely needed much more than used)
