Its really hard to say what to do. Basically what you said are your choices (if the humidity is the absolute problem). Just experiment on getting rid of it as cost effectively as possible.

yea im just getting fed up with it.... and relaly wonder if its worth in tryin out 1 more dehumidifier.. that woudl be 3 in a 10x10 foot area... maybe its worth a try since i already got this far with it...is it possibile these older dehumdifiers are are not so efficieint... does them filling up 50% -75% /day with 70% humiidty at night make sense or shoudl they be filling up faster????

i had an old dehumidifier it would fill up in a few days,i replaced it with a new effiecient one and it filled up in less then a day,you just need a new effiecient dehumidifier.

are ur lights close enough to the plants? i would say your humidity is to high but not sure if thats the reason for low yeilds. But i definitly think co2 is your problem, if you have lots of plants in a single room then it probably is. Somebody wanna second that?

hey guys heres some pics of the room...Every time i reach week 4 when they begin to bud i start having mildew problems... ive also noticed come winter months the humidty rises + the mold on the ceiling is not helpin esepcialyy since my chiller is pointing in that direction and my plants are right below it....therefor im 99.9% sure that my low yeilds are the results of the comibination of mildew/mold floating around the room and high humisity cuased by the current wet monthsresulating in condesation/humdidity build up eseoaiclly when the lights are off..... anyone please throw in ur 2 cents...

My other concern is that i may be over watering/feeding... as ive noticed when i cut the girls and remove the soil from the pots it is alittle moist towards the bottom... is this bad?? how many mls per gallon do u on average feed??? can this be atrributed to the moist soil under the tarp???

My plan of action is:

Bleach clorox spray the room and scrud the mold...poly the wall & ceiling on an angle so that line of mold is outside of the room...

Buy a new dehumidifer install it and see how effective a new dehumidifer..

Run a duct from the furnace to proved the room with dry warm air

What are your thoughts?

the dehumidifier doesnt work i you have circulating fans and the lights on. it will collect no water with the heat just evaporating the water right back into the air. run the dehumidifier during the dark period and take the water out of the collecting bucket. and 10 zips aint to bad, i wouldnt call that a low yield.

i think you are on the right track. get the duct run. i think it will help a lot. sounds like next time you need to get that room fully sealed from moisture before you start. brining the humidity down will help with the mildew. it sounds like you may be over watering. what i like to do is to fully water until the soil is soaked. then watch the plants. wait for them to start to wilt. then water 12 hours earlier next time. :mrgreen: i stop watering 3 days before harvest.

i mean, im just thinking that a dehumidief makes the water condense on a cooling coil right? then if the lights are on making the room hotter and drawing moisture up into the air, the dehumidifier would be pointless. or at leat not as effective as in a room without HID lighting. but whatever I say, is overruled my FDD. hes a vet, im not.
