I would get a dehumidifier and run it on a separate timer, any timer will work for a compact dehumidifier. If you have extra money t spend then they sell a humidistat that you plug your dehumidifier in and when the humidity reaches a certain level it kicks on, just like one that's use for an exhaust fan when the temps get too high. When the lights go out the dehumidifier turns on. If temperature is a problem then get a small space heater where you can adjust the temp you want which isn't that hard to find. Turn the space heater on like 70-75 and leave it on constantly that will also help burn off the humidity. If you don't fix the humidity now then all your hard work will go to waste with moldy shit. I would get that humidity down in the 20's for a while to stop the mold that's growing and kill it. Then try and maintain a proper humidity. Good Luck
I got a dehumidifier but it doesn't work with a timer. It is digital. Tried a sce saving heater but it doesn't do the job properly and consumes too much power. The dehumidifier is 300w and the heater is 1kw. I get what you are trying to say. With the exhaust I bought a thermo plug but that doesn't help with air changes does it? Plus I'm gonna need the exhaust on 24/7 in flower right?

Yes in the 20s just to stop the current mold growth and kill the mold that is there. That's all. And then continue at a proper humidity level

Why do you feed so much? I feed maybe twice a week tops but your talking like 4 times a day.

Why not leave the fans on, would that help you?

I don't like the idea of having all of my plants dependent upon a system that if failed, would result in the loss of the entire garden.

That is a major drawback. The worst thing that can happen is not being able to water. I've had a pump fitting get clogged with roots on one of my tables and it went for three days without water before the plants wilted and I noticed it. That's something because they are under 2kw of light. I figure if I lost my electricity for that long my plants would be fine. Any longer and I'd just open the res, plug up the water fittings in the table, fill the table from the res, let it sit for 15 minutes and drain. Wash rinse and repeat until the power comes back on.

Wash rinse and repeat, that's a familiar legal term, sorta.
Hey man, I have the exhaust on only with lights on. I have a clip on fan aimed at the lights and an oscillating one aimed at the girls 24/7.
I was talking to someone and he was on about air flow.
I think i'm not doing it right, I think I need to have the exhaust running when the lights are off too and maybe use an inline bringing air in rather than the passive intakes?
What would you recommend?
Like a damp rid block or something?
Yeah I have one on 24/7.
I'm constantly checking and it makes it a bit easier. To be honest though I don't like the compactness of this system so will be doing a DIY one soon.
alrighty!
