Big problem with moist and smell

[JustCurious79]

My grow is producing far too much moist air for my apartment, especially since I upgraded to 600W HPS. Obviously I cannot vent outside since the replacement air would be too cold. The moist will damage by apartment, and also produce a horrible smell. What could help with this? Larger fans maybe?

A dehumidifier will end all issues. The bigger the better. 70pt or more. Yes, you will get black mold on humidity collection sites around cold windows. Their about 250 bucks and cost quite a bit in electricity but theyre worth it.

Pretty low man, their meant for use in basements and crawl spaces, or garages. Just a light hummmm. Inline fans are way louder. Also theyll get your humidity in check for flowering which is a good thing.

They are more quiet then a fan

You mean the bad smell actually can be because of too high humidity?

bad smell is usually from root rot. take a look at your roots and take a wiff

Also, I got a dehumidifier here for 650$. Just a thing... dries 8 gallons every day but holds only 2 gallons of water. Does it mean I'd have to empty it four times every day?
And yes, I don't overwater my plants anymore so the problem shouldn't be root rot.

The more humidity the more the ladies will stink, yes.

But your comment about intake being cold isn't true. Vent the hot moist air outside, and it'll be replaced by room temperature air from your apartment....

Or am i missing something?

depends on how fast its sucking the water out of the air. I empty mine every 12 hrs, it holds a gallon.
If you have a foul smell its root rot. I love the smell of a humid room, reminds me of walking into a greenhouse

But seriously... root rot with Wilma, and I'm still using a timer to control watering. Anyone else had this problem?
