My room is 28 feet long by 12 feet wide growing hydroponics using 120 gallons of water six 1000 hp grow light a mini split of one ton. I live in an area that is 120 degrees outside in the summer. With the lights off my humidity could get up to 60 to 70% with the lights on it gets 50 to 60%. I am thinking of buying an Overhead Quest Dual Dehumidifier. My question is which point size would work best for my room considering that in my area my weather can get up to 120 degrees outside. Should I get the 150 155 or 210 Point Overhead Dehumidifier?

Find out how much water your garden uses a day and convert that to pints and make sure the pint/day removal is higher than that.

I only have 5 plants that drink upwards of 15 ltrs of water a day in a 5x5 tent, meaning i would need to buy a dehumidifier that can pull 27 pints of water out of the air....in a 5x5 in 24hrs!?

Not sure that quite makes sense mate.

I can't help you OP as this is wayyy out of my range in terms of size, but for what it's worth, i'd buy the bigger unit because you can always turn it down.....you can't turn the smaller ones up. :)
