I can't fully answer your question, but I wanted to warn you that the dehumidifier will definitely put off heat.. I purchased one last week and noticed that mine raises the air temperature about 10 degrees from input to output. Depending on where you live and your ambient air temperature in the bedroom, you may not be able to handle the higher temps. I can't in the summer.

Good luck....following along on this one.

I'm only planning to grow 2 crops a year ,in the coldest months . I didn't think of that heat generated by the dehumidifier ... so that makes it easy to choose where to put it ... in the bedroom .
Thanks !

Do you run your exhaust fan at night, or are you trying to avoid that because it's in your bedroom?
These are good questions I can't wait to try . I have an exhaust fan ( vortex style ) with dimmer switch ,an intake duct fan with dimmer ,and a duct fan only for the cooltube . So I will have to make different ways . I thought I could only vent 15 min. every hour during light out .

Are you not growing any plants yet ?
No ,Im planning everything so when it's time to grow I will ve ready . I will run some tests when temp gets colder ,but for the plants I have to wait till I have my prescription and I'm registered to grow my weed legally . My appointment is coming soon with the cannabis clinic's doctor . Can't wait man !
