dehumidifier?

[Uzergu1de]

ok so my humidity is around 65-70 in flower which is obviously a problem... i bought a dehumidifier from b and q cost me 70 quid it worked wonders but it was sooo loud so i took it back and got a "cloakroom" dehumidifier which is very quiet but doesnt do a thing i`m usuing a 1.2x1.2 tent... can anyone with the same sort of problem recommend a nice quiet dehumidifier??... or offer a solution?? thanks in advance..

Could be Wrong, but to find a cheap, quiet & effective dehumidifyer, is a bit like trying to get diamond coated weed, The more your prepared to spend the better an quieter it would probly be.

I'm using those dehumidifying crystals placed in the inlet path so all incommimg air is pulled over them to try and dry it out as much as possible.

no its not that much of a problem actually, providing you have a good clean growing environment with well filtered fresh air movement
what time of the daily light cycle are you checking your humidity at?
as soon as lights are on? half way through the light period?
at the end of the light period just before the lights go out?

= poison

[Mr_Bimble]

Nope Its Calcium chloride based - got it from Aldi, its for keeping sheds & cuboards dry, I'm using it to dry my inlet air, so its located outside the tent nowhere near the plant.

dirt cheap too £6 for container and 2 refills.
