Small dehumidifiers

[Gingerbeard]

I've checked out small dehumidifiers online. Several look like they will fit in my tent. I would rather have one I can have on the outside of my tent and draw moisture through a vent tube. Don't see any. Y'all?
My main concern is having a DH too close to and drying out leaves.

Or the dehumidifier bags?

Sadly I'm not aware of any that will fit into a tent. Plus they put off a good amount of heat. I would try and lower the Rh of the room the tent is in. Try upping your air exchange in the tent and dare I say it remove some leaves to slow the moisture transfer.

No way to change any part of my environs unless I turn on my A/C, heater, or talk to whomever is in charge of humidity around here.
It started out trimming fans. Then sugars. Then chunks of buds. Then buds. Just topped the top of a main. Once WPM hits the sugars, the bud is lost. I am no longer convinced vinegar is an effective approach when the buds get infected.
I'm seeing ambers on a couple plants. Sunday is 8 weeks. This is not the patience I am accustomed to.

Found this one. Says it's low temp.

Wow I’m amazed a dehumidifier that small exists, and it’s UL listed to boot! I’ll just say that if it’s “low temp”, I would guess it’s also not powerful enough to make a noticeable difference in your grow area. Hope I’m wrong. Good luck.

Hello Gingerbeard , I use a small dehumidifier in my tent all the time and find it to be quite useful and haven't had any problems with excess heat or drying out of leaves. They are readily available on Amazon or at your local hardware store.

I have dabbed the answer.
The little DH is probably great, as advertised: for safes and small closets. Each is an enclosed space that doesn't vent. When closed, my tent is venting and replacing the air pretty quick-like. Not enough time for the passing air to dehumidify.
Although still not feasible, Going2fast is getting the chicken dinner. My humidity isn't going to change unless the humidity changes.

Chop them ladies man they sound done.

But dab first

Speaking off of my experience, you’ll have a hard time dehuing the air in the tent before your air exchange happens. As G2f suggested you would be better off dehuing the air around the grow space so it gets sucked into your space. You’ll also likely have to get a bigger dehu than your “lung” (by square foot) due to the air exchange rate.

hope this helps/makes sense

[Gingerbeard]

We were totally about to speak of your experience, bdeegan . Totally. What you say makes sense which is why I have come to the same conclusion.
You get G2F's chicken dinner because you didn't tell me to chop anything.

[Going2fast]

And I'm totally hoping your a dude. Since you have a beard and all. And I'm not stereotyping. Fuck political correctness. They can kiss my incorrect ass.

[Gingerbeard]

I don't know how to feel, you hoping I'm a dude, and all.

[Gingerbeard]

No more chicken dinner for you G2F! Chopping them now is a bad idea. Mostly clear trichomes. I need ginger.

[Going2fast]

Sorry I didn't know you liked sleepy weed. My bad.. .............my dude.

8 weeks and still all clear?

[Gingerbeard]

8 weeks coming on Sunday. My best chances will be the GDP.
