williams2311 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Cant really afford a dehumidifier right now. When my hps light is on my humidity stays right around 40% and 78 degree. Well when my light goes off it jumps to 65 70 percent and 67 degrees. I bought some damp rid with hopes of it helping and its been in there 2 days now and I only went in the room once since I put it in there and it didn't help. Does any one have any easy ways or cheap ways of lowering humidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-pain Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 fans, venting outside, large rocks , hanging bags of salt do everything you can, bud rot and bud mold are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaquetoo Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 compared to lights,nutes, your grow medium, a dehumidifyer is cheap considering what havoc they put your plants thru, alot of people I know have them a.c's on wheels that can go anywhere you want, and they are a dehumidifyer also, its a lil costly for me also, but I have to do something, Ive had the above root problems that T-pain talks about!

t-pain Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 i think the internet said rock salt in a burlap bag or some kind of bucket with holes in it , but some screen to keep the salt in. i'll hang a bag in my basement, see if anything drips.
