Reddit reviews Pro Breeze Electric Mini Dehumidifier, 1200 Cubic Feet (150 sq ft), Compact and Portable for High Humidity in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom, Basement, Caravan, Office, RV, Garage with Auto Shut Off

I had the same problem in a place years ago. Certainly let the landlord know. As an owner, I’d want to know. However, I’m not sure if they have to do anything. Anyway, I picked up a couple of these and put them in the high humidity areas. Worked wonders. Best of luck!

This should do the trick:

I really doubt you’d need to humidify a space that small.

i'm running same size tent and i will run this in the muggy summer time. although you should keep your exhaust fan on 24/7 not only to keep humidity low but also for a constant supply of fresh air. you dont really need to run one honestly but it does help reduce mold chances and that.

That’s a great idea! You think something like this could work?

I could place it in a closed cupboard and dehumidify away

Same problem. Looks like the previous homeowner renovated and took out the fans at some point - oddly enough we still have the exhaust pipes leading to the roof. Didn’t realize this when we bought the house; we had the beginnings of mold/mildew problems after the first month.

Get on amazon and get you a countertop dehumidifier and always shut the door to your bathroom when you aren’t using it. They are about $50 bucks apiece. We got one similar to this one but not the same model. It should have at a minimum an auto-cutoff switch for when it’s full. Some of the fancier ones have humidity sensors and can be programmed to shut off when the ambient air reaches a certain level of humidity (e.g, 35%). This can save you on electric in the long run.

But honestly we just keep the doors to our bathrooms shut all the time - we have dogs that absolutely love the filthy bathroom trash so we’d be doing that anyway - and we keep our little humidifiers running 24/7. We have to empty them about twice a week but as they sit on the counter it’s not a big deal. Extra electric cost is worth it because the extra dry air in the bathrooms means we have pretty much zero mold or mildew so the bathrooms stay cleaner for longer.

I found a comment of mine from a while ago with links to the hardware I use.

>That humidity/temp controller will only run a humidifier/dehumidifier or the fridge/heater... one of each, not all four. I have it running my "winter" curing chamber that only needs to be heated up to 55 degrees and dehumidified. If you will need to heat your chamber part of the year, cool it another part, humidify it at times, and dehumidify it at other times, then you should get one controller that can do heat or cold: https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Temperature-Controller-Thermostats-Germination/dp/B019Q3K4EI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1489682368&sr=8-4&keywords=inkbird
and a controller that can humidify and dehumidify: https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Dehumidification-Humidifaction-Dehumidifier-Charcuterie/dp/B01FQKXRXA/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1489682368&sr=8-15&keywords=inkbird
If you make a lot of product in one session, you will probably need a dehumidifier: https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Breeze-PB-02-US-Electric-Dehumidifier/dp/B01DC5PPWM/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1490184197&sr=1-5&keywords=dehumidifier
When you hang 10+ lbs of meat in a fridge, that humidity is going to shoot up to 85+% even if you are in the desert.
I know that a fan is a basic and common component, but I've never put one in either of my chambers. I open the door every day to check on things and am constantly adding and removing product from the rotation... I haven't really had any problems yet. I don't think it would hurt at all to have a fan in there, though.

Appreciate your help, I was thinking of putting it directly on the tent if its small enough. The tent is 2X4. I was looking at this on amazon but it does only have a 16oz reservoir and no way to attach a hose drain.

Okay looking at this one.

Thing is, it seems like most people struggle to get humidity at 50%... And I need it well below that.

Just curious, recently I've shut all my windows tight. Is that bad?

I have this one but I guess it's not cutting it for my 2x4x7 tent.

We bought one of these, seems to help a little bit:

  Yes, we let it run 24/7. I go in every few days and empty the water container. I tried using damprid but didn't like having to buy new ones all the time.

Ah, so it's a real camper and not a camper van. Sorry, I subscribe to /r/vandwellers as well and got confused as to what I was looking at.

I think you're doing a lot right. Condensation is a big issue for a lot of people in colder climates. Heck, even houses with aluminum framed windows have issues with condensation and water damage.

Rule of thumb, if you're getting static shocks in your camper I doubt its humidity. What might be more efficient than a fan in winter is a miniature dehumidifer. If nothing else it should slow the growth of mold.

>A dehumidifier outside of the tent might work.

Ambient RH is 14% currently. I live in an arctic desert, so a dehumidifier outside the tent won't do much. I got something like this on the way. I don't expect it to do much , but if it gets me down 5% or so I'd be happy with it. I'm also using CaCl2 AKA Damprid, and it's brought levels down about 10% or so.

What is your RH in the tent with the PM plants? Nice looking undercurrent you got there. I'm assuming your rez is inside the tent then?

thanks for your answer!
i see, it would work if there weren't a constant air exchange...


So I should go for a dehumidifier. Would a cheap one like this work? (the room my cabinet is in is very small)

Why can't you buy a little portable dehumidifier? Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Breeze-Electric-Dehumidifier-Portable/dp/B01DC5PPWM/ref=sr_1_4?crid=37132OOBRTX9&keywords=dehumidifier&qid=1556039481&s=gateway&sprefix=dehumid%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-4


I would stick with the blowing the fan on the plants while hung. If you dry in a box, and for some reason something goes wrong and your fan dies you have more of a chance of humidity building up inside a smaller, enclosed space.

I stuck a dehumidifier in it like this one:

Pro Breeze Electric Mini Dehumidifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DC5PPWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RgyZCb6FQ1KS6

It produces some heat, but it doesn't seem to make the freezer run noticably more often. I also take it out during cold crashing so it doesn't freeze and get jacked up.

I use this in my back basement - works great! Not very loud and small. https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Breeze-Electric-Dehumidifier-Portable/dp/B01DC5PPWM?ref_=Oct_BSellerC_267557011_2&pf_rd_p=d610ab22-6548-5794-9c9d-00287e1ba3e2&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-10&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=267557011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=P2R11VYTPR5S6DBCBWK4&pf_rd_r=P2R11VYTPR5S6DBCBWK4&pf_rd_p=d610ab22-6548-5794-9c9d-00287e1ba3e2

Applying sprays/traps as people mentioned will help lower the numbers, but it doesn't remove the conditions that attract silverfish/bugs in general the first place. If you don't get rid of silverfish you might end up attracting house centipedes (ive heard) and i'd rather gtfo than deal with that lol. This is what I did to keep them out of my dorm:

- Number one thing is to keep your suite clean, especially for people renting in older homes off campus. Silverfish eat starchy carbs. Declutter your space: no piles of paper, cardboard, nor clothes, nor food crumbs on the ground. place things in plastic tubs and food in tight sealed containers if you have to. Vacuum biweekly, do laundry often (and this includes your bedsheets)

- Additionally silverfish love humid environments. And its gonna be humid a long time cuz of the rain october - april. I bought this dehumidifier from amazon a while back. A lot of bugs also dislike the smell of spices. I purchased cinnamon essential oil from amazon and just placed a tiny bit in vials around the room. With the combination of those two, I stopped seeing them completely within a couple days.

Keep in mind i never had a huge humidity problem so i just place this i the bottom of my tent and it worked along with the other steps.

would be fine, but i've seen cheaper ones that are the same exact model, its just the same product from china rebranded by several american OEMs. shop around a bit, i didn't dig hard for that link.

I have a bathroom with no fan. Before he cuts the hole above the bathroom door, try the following:

1. Always open the exterior window and the bathroom door to create a cross ventilation
   
2. Try a dehumifider. I turn it on before I start my hot showers and let it run for awhile after. I have this one.
