What kinda heat is the dehumidifier adding during lights out? Mine will raise my 4x8 drying closet 5-10F in a couple hours, even with constant ventilation. I run it on a temp controlled switch so it doesn't overheat the room and cook off terpenes.

And why are you letting your tent get up to 80 before venting? I'd bet the 12F +/- differential swing, coupled with rapid cooling when vents turn on, is gonna stress your plants. Plus, you'll lose terpenes in late flower being that warm.

I'm only on day 2 with dehumidifier. Week 5 of flower. Right now im at 11 hours lights off with dehumidifier on setting #2 of 10. I'm holding around 76°F and 35-40% RH.

Without the dehimidifier, it was getting cold at around 60°F with lights out, sometimes lower.

What do you recommend for temp differential? As I've already admitted in my previous post, i know that temp is a touch high for the mid flower stage. I'm planning to knock the temp max limit down to 77°F.

Every situation is different. Right now I'm in soil and I try to keep my tents 72-75F days and 60-65F nights. Once it gets close to 80 they don't like it and noticeably slow, but when I ran hydro I could run into the low 80s and they just kept exploding.

I use a 5x5 tent and my floor space is pretty limited. The dehumidifier is working fine so far. But it still takes up the space of a plant. Does the oil heater dry out your soil or heat the roots up? I also use fabric pots. So, Im trying to avoid adding heat to reduce RH. Oil heater might actually take up even more space, if the plants cant touch it.

A heater will also help your plants grow & ripen faster because cold roots slow growth

10 degrees is a good temperature differential, good luck

You should be ok if you just flipped and are at 80% RH. Just make sure to maintain RH when you can. Id recommend looking into an inkbird humidity controller to help keep it more consistent
