Dehumidifier, any good?

Got high and low ventilation passive. May not be enough. 100cm2 for each.
 
It would not take much to add something like a computer fan to the outlet to move lots of air through. You can buy them online for 110 volts, maybe they are available at your local voltage as well. If not, just about any 12 volt DC source will drive the standard computer fans. If your hallway RH is around 50%, and you put a compressor dehumidifier in there with a bit of isolation, you would likely be good in my opinion.

Any issues with smell?

    Thanks for the advice and support. Loads of helpful people here and I appreciate you taking time to answer
Hey. Yes I can smell her in the hall. Inlet is in my bedroom, outlet to hall. Was looking today at an an infinity computer type fan with sensor. Not the big boy cloudline? Probably need a fan and filter, but stealth is key and the smell is, well.. kind of manageable with plug ins. Mrs ain't moaning too much!! Lol.

Hey @EP3, thanks for the rep.

If you think you might be in the market for a fan and filter, I can confirm that they might help you out. Depending on the strain you grow, you will probably want filtration eventually, some of them can be pretty rank. OTOH, if you choose low stinkers deliberately, you might get away without a filter. One detail you may not know is that it is not absolutely required that the fan be set up to suck from inside the grow space. In your setup, you could just run the fan and filter in your hallway, and it will scrub the air reasonably well as long as you isolate the hallway near your cupboard to some degree. Having a fan and filter may allow you to set up a more conventional tent or growdrobe later if the grow bug bites you, and it might. Growing this weed is an enjoyable challenge that keeps a lot of peeps on this site well entertained. Not to mention supplied... :biggrin:

As to the computer fan, you do not need anything fancy to just move some air. I have picked them up for free from computer maintenance shops. They sometimes replace them as routine maintenance when they work on desktop computers, and the old ones just end up in the garbage. They are also easily available online. Odds are that you already have an adapter hanging around that would drive the standard 12 volt fans. Anything from 6 to 12 volts will make them move air.

Good luck with it, shoot me questions if I can help with anything specific. :pighug:

Update. Calmed down with watering to every day and a half and after removing some leafs the RH is back down to between 45 min and 58 max. May try watering more frequently again and see if RH rises as roots that were sticking out of the side of pot have now been air pruned with less watering?
In coco BTW
Also got a small 54cfm pc type thing on order to sit right at my top vent pushing air out. Not as much as it needs, but better than before. Would one for my inlet also help?
