Ideal humidity for flowering?

Be nice though...ideal humidity all day. Not too dry during lights on and then the dehumidifier keeps it in check during lights off. Seems ideal to me. I have trouble getting the room above 40% in lights on cycle. The AC wants to dehumidify. and you can't stop that if you some cooli. If you found the sweet spot in between the two units you'd have humidity perfection. Nice air movement added in ....bingo...or schwing if you prefer.
I know zero of the the usefulness of this unit but you gotta start somewhere. The controls on it seem well thought out. Not sure of the " fan pack " on it?? Whether the unit on a whole works well...I dunno.
How else you gonna get a set humidity dialed in?

$1900 CAD dollars...plus taxes...free delivery to the dealer though. So your good there.
Not sure if it's DIY hookup. There's no gas to charge so I'm figuring it's possible to DIY the install.

Personally my room is sealed...C02 injected from my burner.
I like the idea of using both a Dehumidifier and humidifier. You just gotta make sure one isn't fighting the other....thats where dial in comes into play. Shouldn't be that hard...i could see how to do it.

Oh im sure it IS ideal. So would having millions of dollars.....What's it COST hippy? The answer is too much for the majority of home growers

And wasted resources. Fact of the matter is it isnt very ideal for vented rooms. Which is why the majority of the talk about it comes from guys running sealed rooms

I do pay attention to VPD
I am running a sealed and not seal room.
I don’t live by it , but I try to fall into the sweet spot, in flower I’ll never go above 60% or below 40%
I have seen growth speed up .
I haven’t noticed stronger or better tasting buds .

I don’t understand why you’d need that?
I think a sentinel controller with fuzzy logic would dial in the room better then adding more water. You should have enough water in there now.

When I first started I had all the bells and whistles.. dehumid/cold steam humid, fancy temp/rh display, ph pen blah blah blah. Have proper airflow and exhaust and let the mfers grow lol.

I’m ass backwards to you
When I started I had just enough to get by
20 yrs later , I got all the fun stuff. And will keep getting more if it makes my life easier.
@The Hippy
What’s your square feet and what lights n Dehumitifer are you running?

ya the goal is to make life easier so if more shit is what helps you achieve that then get more shit lol more crap for me was just that.. more crap. Its like all the led efficiency graphs. my plants dont give 2 shits about efficiency and ppl grow awesome shit with inefficient street lamps. Is it great to save on electricity.. sure. Will I make a new light to save 50c a month? probably not today.
ime adding/removing humidity and messing with ph doesn't really help unless your environment dictates it (growing in a jungle with well water or some shit).
When I started I used RO water and things actually got better when I switched to tap water.. go figure right? but some ppl with terrible water sources require RO water so its not as easy as just saying "tap water is better than RO water".
Hell, do what works for you but understand that what works best for you may not necessarily work best for the next man.

C02 has nothing to do with this subject. I already use a fuzzy controller for the C02. That does nothing for humidity levels.
No not enough water during flowering the AC is dehumidifying that to low. You can't stop that with AC. Need the for cooling in lights on...do you see now?

I use a quest dehumidifier...a big one to match the square footage. excess humidity is never an issue. Just could use a bit more humidity during lights on.
I got wind dialed in no problem. But would prefer to run 50% humidity during flowering cycle lights on.

Well the answer is more humidity and nobody has shown me a better way to do that. Wishing it will happen hasn't been cutting it.
$1900 is chicken feed to make things right. I see the big picture. Shit if I hadn't spent what i have already, where would I be? You can't build a battleship outta paper mache'.

I do now
You have the wrong A/C
I have no need to add humidity with my controllers .
My A/C has controls so I can make it remove more or less humidity, my Quest is on a timer n controller.

around 55-60%.unless fat fat buds...air movement..always
