    Default Flipping to 12/12 What size dehumidifier do I need?

    Flipping to 12/12 this week, temps are ok when lights on between 22 and 26, drop slightly lower lights off. Humidity is fine with lights on 40-50. Problem I'm having is when lights go off humidity is up to as high as 70 which is obviously no good for flowering.

    Any tricks to bring humidity down with lights off?

    If not will invest in a dehumidifier, but what size? And where do I put it?

    Tent is 1mx1mx2m intake is coming from garage through 5 inch 125 fan and outtake is going outside through 5inch 125 fan

    Any info would be great, cheers lads

    Your out take fan should always be larger than your intake
    Or at least pulling more.for negative pressure and smell control.

    I would think it's humid in the garage so try getting your intake duct
    Near the bottom of a door if it leads outside or a window slightly open.
    Nice fresh air.

    Would it be a good idea to have exhaust going into garage, and intake coming from outside?

    any pics of ya grow matey? you should be ok to squeeze a 10L one in unless you can find 8L one. i wouldnt go any small coz they shite imo. also the older 2nd hand model etc ya buy on ebay can be real biig an clunky so space will be issue. but there are few good compact 8/10L models out there some were.

    i have 10L meaco dehumidifier an it a good size. but my flower tent is 1.2 x 1.2

    Ye I've done a bit of research leaning towards getting a 10 litre one like you. Only concern is that they kick off a lot of heat if inside the tent?
