I would think that the warm air from the exhaust is the dehumidified air… Wouldn’t that kind of make this just an exhaust fan if so?
I may be wrong. I’ve been that before. lol

No this was an indoor plant. My outdoor version is doing good.
I have a 4 inch exhaust fan going full blast. And a tower fan in the corner and a small fan next to the ceiling. I also recently have left the tent open during the lights on cycle with a box fan pointed at the door opening.

You may be correct. My thought was that it’s the intake on the unit that’s pulling moist air into the unit,the unit dehumidifies it, exhausts it. That exhaust air is definitely hot! It may also be dry. But (?) the moisture in room is treated without addition of HOT exhaust air from dehumidifier. It does raise the question of what is that cumulative fund of air within the room replaced with! I wound up changing my setup so could have door to that room remain open. One thing is certain: one way or another, gotta keep humidity to acceptable levels if working indoors. (And do so without unacceptable heat increases.) Outside—- yep, that hypochlorous thread previously spoken of sounds like the golden key of prevention.

That’s the way it is with me @BigMike55 . I have two 6" fans in that room. One is on a heat controller and one on a humidity controller. The problem is, The humidity in the house is 75%. That exhaust fan is running 24 hours a day but it’s not doing any good. I need to control a smaller room that feeds the greenroom.

Because of the competing and offsetting unintended consequences one faces in the effort to achieve a consistently favorable grow environment, it’s challenging to get there by hook or crook. But rarely is the maxim of an oz of prevention being worth a pound of cure more aptly applied than with respect to artificially creating the happy home for our favorite plants.

It’s all about the environment with that botrytis. I try and maintain 45% RH and 22C. Never let the buds rest on each other. I’m always scrubbing and cleaning as well, to keep the spore count low.
Contrary to most people’s set ups I don’t have fans blowing around, just an extraction fan.

If so, I totally failed to convey my perspective and very much regret that. I’ve seen pictures of your work, read a lot in your thread and it’s clear you have widely grounded knowledge and experience. Moreover, I’ve observed the respect others in the community have for you and am certain it’s not misplaced.
Please do pardon the poor conveyance of these, my actual, perspective.
I have plants going that are from pollen originating in your garden. I am beneficiary of your expertise!

Don’t know man. I need to make a trip over to Hot Springs in a couple weeks to see my lil sister. After that, who knows. My Sister in law in Fayetteville will be coming this way in just a little while. I will pick her up in Jenks, usually. There on the Riverwalk over by the Aquarium.

Thanks brother, new to these parts, tryin’ to sorta get the lay of the land, as it were. Reckon I like kickin it around ‘bout as well as the next dude, but sure af I never want to unintentionally disrespect a brother. Been in worlds where respect is the currency— so I’m kind of conditioned that way, I suppose.
Lol, didn’t mean to Down Vibe your thing, bro.

I read an article I’ll have to try and find it where a guy use a handheld torch he was able to kill it. Not sure how true that is. I’ll have to see if I can find the article. I was wrong I think it was actually for killing mold.
I hate it. Had some clones that I gotten a few years back. Went to move the plants and the branches broke off. I thought it would grow out once the plants got started. It was sad.

I know man. When I peeled that first bud open, I nearly soiled my britches. Oh well. No one can ever say I didn’t try my hardest.
