make one of the fans suck bad air out. you have to get the humidity down. you need an exhaust fan.

you can leave it inside, just make sure it is sucking from inside the room and blowing outside.

yeah done that i reckon that make big difference. in bottom corner is 150mm inline fan and the big 300mm one outside sucking air from inside opposite side up high. it lifts the plastic up off the floor.

i recommend getting as much air OUT as you can.

and make sure the air you bring IN isnt humid itself.


and hey, look at it this way. it could be worse, that could be the humidity with the lights ON, which could lead to wayy higher chances of mold and fungus.

yeah australian hydro shops. i probably find one if i had a look around. So if only 12 hours of light are humid is this enough to get bud rot? average of 80% humidity with lights off and 55 to 65 withlights on.

I am having same problem...but my room is a basement with a sump pump therefore always some setting water in it. I covered it up and noticed a small difference. the more moving air you can generate in there the better i would say. and the dehum...yeah i am looking for one too...they are kinda high

you want lower humidity and temperature at night day hotter and more humid just like the outdoors themselves.
