Northeast growers Temp and humidity

Thanks!! Didnt know the tap water would do that.

I as well am in the Great Lakes, im in NY. Same issue though, went in my tent the other day and was 91 so I now have all the vents open and a dehumidifier running just outside the tent. So far this has got me to avg temp of 78 and between 50%-60% humidity. I also think my exhaust fan is not working correctly so its not pulling as much air out as it should but I have to deal with it till this grow is done. Hopefully soon, im into week 7 now. Thanks for your input!! At least I'm not the only one having issues. Going forward im only growing from October-May i think, easeier to control conditions.

i am in the great lakes region and yes i have a tin can called a trailer - i try not to use A/C as its original and sucks juice , i made a 3.5 X 3.5 grow booth and yes i do have the temp problem jumping a scale -- if i close it up temps can reach up to 94 plus if not keeping an eye on things -- since i only have a couple of clones going right now i will leave the booth door open so it will not oven bake the plant. the lights you use also add to the heat building up as well -- i have a fan pointed at the lights to help them stay cool and to help heat from settling in

i have noticed the temp reach a max now of about 88 with a low of about 74 -- now if i close it up and just let things go it will overheat the plant and ruin it -- when closed it can reach at high side of 96 with lows about 89 and humidity to shoot up like a rocket as well - over 78 % on top and low of 62 % but keep open it will not stay in a range of 48 to about 60 - this also depends on the regular outside temp and humidity -- another good note to watch on is that when you feed it will also raise the humidity -- and in doing what i did i did saved these two from getting self baked lol lol.

when i first transferred them to the booth i did not really pay attention the first day and when looked in the next my jaw dropped and thought i lost em -- but with some tender care this is how they look now after 14 days.

i am not saying this will work for you but it will have some sort of idea that will work in your situation once you find a happy spot that holds a steady temp and humidity -- now in a basement it will be on the damp cool side to start out with so yes you will have slightly higher humidity, now some good temps should range from low being 66 to 68 and highs from 76 to 78 as this is about the best for beer and wine making but holds up in grow as well.

best i have found to help humidity was to have a good fan pointed at top of booth where i can also set the natural venting to circulate the air more easy along with a oscillating fan at bottom for the plants -- if you have it setup good you can regulate somewhat but it helps, the humidity should hit from about 48 to 62 % -- again i am not saying this will solve your problem but its what i did this personally and still do depending on time of year.

i did lose this one a month early due to the very thing you have heat and humidity

hope you get some other great tips as well from others,

My summer setup is a little different than my winter setup. In the summer I use an AC and in the winter I use a heater. The dehumidifier should help you if relative humidity is too high. Do you use an air conditioner?

I am in Ohio and my humidity is usually around 42% to 52% so I don't really do much with it. My grow tent is in an extra room that I keep at around 74 degrees. My intake fan and exhaust fan are on the same timer as my grow light so temp ranges from 74 to 80 degrees. I have a fan that runs 24/7 inside the tent and I don't use a heater or a humidifier/dehumidifier
