No lol it does have a hose ran from the back of it to a drain pipe though.

It rained today and I can see how this can quickly bring the humidity up in my grow room. Definitely need to look into a 2nd dehumidifier for the next grow Damn, I haven't bought a single piece of clothing ever since I started in this hobby. I take better care of these plants than myself

LOL, yeah I know the feeling about caring more for the plants then one's self... The grow is looking good.
If you had figured a way to duct out the dehuey and still have it function as intended I'd have to give you major props...

lol I wish I could find some way to duct the heat from the dehumidifier. It's so nice having an AC unit. Now my worry isn't about how much heat a second dehumidifier is gonna create, it's getting myself to fork over another couple hundred bucks for another unit to bring my humidity down low to help promote frosty buds!

Planning on purchasing that dehumidifier today and connecting the both with a wye hose fitting that will enable both huey's to share one main drainage hose.

Thanks for the description on the a/c unit. Sounds pretty easy, but I found portables for 200 (must be summer is over) that are big enough for me. I'm still gonna use a booster or inline fan to help the exhaust since it has to travel approx. 15ft to the outside.

That's cheap! One reason I couldn't go for a portable is because I'm preparing to expand and it wouldn't suit my growing needs. Might pick up a portable AC unit though for a small storage area that I want to convert into a drying area.

And good call on adding a booster fan for the exhaust of your AC. It will definitely help with efficiency! If you can find some, try and pick up some insulated ducting from Lowe's. Good luck with your grow!

Yeah my home depot has the insul. duct. I use it everywhere except inside my tents due to space. Also I like the portables because alot of them have dehumidifiers also which will help in my little 8x10 space. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

heres a bud I just cut down on one of the small lower branches, so I have something to smoke when trimming time comes. Should be finishing up within a couple weeks

Looking at the trichomes, I see maybe 10% clear and the rest cloudy. It'll be interesting to see what the high will be like being picked this early.

I want to harvest the majority of my plants though when they show 50% amber.

Almost done! Just a few more days! Cut a few branches down so I'll have something to chief on while I trim these bushes. High is incredibly strong off of the buds that I picked early off a few bottom branches a few days ago, and the trichomes were just about 80% turned cloudy. I can clearly see why Skywalker OG is top shelf in So Cal.

The buds have just been increasingly getting more frosty these past few days! watered the plants with some pH'd R/O water, nothing else. Glad to see all my yellowing fan leaves. I don't like nutes in my smoke.

Gonna be chopping down my non-scrogged plant either tonight or tomorrow. I could be wrong, but it seems that right before a watering my plants have been putting out more resin. Just to promote frost I'm gonna lower my night time temps and chop right before lights on. Now to find out what the yield is!

field of dreams great grow mate

Wow, insane grow.. and yea, i agree, that skywalker is def some dank ass med off the top shelves in Cali!!

Its been a busy week. Finally finished trimming my non scrogged plant as well as the side-walls of my 2 scrogs... It's anyones guess as to what the weight is gonna be.

This bud is so freakin strong! I am the person that chain smokes bowls and with this stuff, I can't smoke more than 2 without feeling too stoned... Excited for the end results after they finish drying and curing. I'll be posting dry weights as soon as I get them in!
