A Humidor with cooling and automatic humidity control is like $1000. Still out of reasonable range for me. My budget is I have to SAVE money by growing šŸ˜…
Someone around here has had good success with one of theseā€¦

Much more affordable..
 
Nobody will be successful until they can replicate the control box. Itā€™s the real tech of the whole unit, the rest is just parts put together in a particular way. The control box interprets the information from the sensors and adjusts the internal components (dehumidifier, heating, cooling) accordingly to maintain a steady temperature, while dialing down the RH to a set point (56%)ā€¦.then slowly bringing it back up to a set point (61%)ā€¦.. itā€™s harder than it seems since dehumidifiers put off so much heatā€¦.
There's nothing special about any of it, really, from an engineering or technical perspective.

They just have a patent on it, which creates an additional challenge / higher barrier to entry for competitors. But, patents are easy to design around. It just helps them maintain a monopoly on the market for longer in the beginning stages.

I still want one now, though...

The control box isnā€™t special, but is the brains of the unitā€¦ and is the part that makes the whole thing special. Itā€™s what the inventor doesā€¦. Designs control units for various applicationsā€¦. From missile delivery systems, to drying units for culinary and horticulture applications. If itā€™s an easy taskā€¦.. show us.
 
Heatwave came like

So I'm trying to chill my tent. I moved my oscillating fan underneath the lights so I can blow some heat off. Theres another fan hardly visible over the lightbars in the opposite corner from the white fan blowing outward to the camera.

Anything I should set up differently to try and cope with the heat?
U could also drop dimmer % and just put the light closer to the plants! ;)
