Sealed room, Lights off, Inline ventilation to control humidity

Whats going on everyone.

I installed a 6 inch inline, about 150w, to take air out of my room during lights off. I did this to attempt ot lower the humidity in there. At lights off, it gets up to 90% RH

I have a timer on the fan for lights off only, because i run co2 during the day.


I made my own carbon filter... I ran it at off times and the humidity only dropped about 5%, when I need it to drop 20-30%


I stuffed activated carbon in a 16" inch long 6" vent PIPE and sealed them off with a ton of Panty hose stockings and attach that to the end of the vent.


It seems the that issue is the carbon filter in restricting air suction. I am thinking of reducing the amount of carbon filter, but don't want there to be any smell issue.


Should I reduce carbon or get a bigger/stronger fan?


what are you thoughts in actually succeeding in dropping he RH at night?

Have you tried one of those great inventions!!!

What are they called again???

Oh yes that's right a dehumidifier.


Extraction will only take care of a small portion of the humidity in the room.

Have you tried the extraction without your homemade filter attached?

Does it clear enough humidity out without the filter?

My guess is no it won't.

In virtually every sealed room I've ever seen there is always either AC keeping RH in check or both AC and a dehumidifier.

I have to run a dehumidifier in my non sealed room due to high RH during lights off.

cant really run a sealed room without humidity in check...get a dehuey or nonseal your room...i bet its not even efficient sealed since you have humidity issues and probably waste a lot of CO2 refilling the room since you are exhausting when lights out...

It doesn't really work that way. Plants produce co2 and need oxygen during lights off, the reverse of during the day.
