What's going on guys,

I got 3x 1000w's over 13 plants in 5 gallon plastic pots. Yesterday I noticed humidity was at a whopping 81% rH..today it's sitting at 71%. I'm running a sealed tent with no air in/out but with a 14,000BTU AC and a 50 pint dehumidifier. What exactly am I doing wrong? By the time rH is anywhere between 45-50% it's time to water, soon after rH rises to 85+ due to transpiration. My question is, besides what am I doing wrong, shouldn't my a/c and 50 pint dehumidifier be enough to keep rH to whatever humidity I want it to be? I have the humidifier blazing on low(25rH), but still, it's not bringing it as low as it should be.


Edit: Also, note, ambient rH has been 75-85 lately as well.

I have not done a sealed room yet, but something does seem wrong.

A humidifier in a sealed room should be able to control RH easily,
and IIRC ACs reduce RH as well.

I am sure that one of the experts will be right along.

Good luck,

JD

I dont know much about sealed room but can u set it up to move new air in/out 15mins an hour or so? Maybe have duct flaps or whatever there called to shut off air flow when not in use. Only thing i can think of.

That might be underpowered.

A sealed-room expert will need to chime in, but he will
want to know that data.

Good luck,

Yes method is right, leave it on low for a longer period of time, all that off and on shit is just making your humidity rise.
