Use a dehumidifier.

We’ll Yea obviously I run on in the lung room I was more looking for way to seal or have faster/longer dry backs

Those pots can allow pests in and I’m not the biggest fan but they do work. If your tent humidity is too high you’ll need a dehumidifier in the room the tent is in and constantly exchange the air. Flood and drain tables with work well with pots like Rain Science has. https://rainsciencegrowbags.com/

When I ran flood and drain tables it was easy because it was open room i currently run the dehu in the lung room but the tent is just building up I may need to play with the exhaust and get more flow for going threw the tents

I just upgraded to the Horii Control dust shroom intake filter after 2 tries at saving a couple of dollars $$ but i ended up throwing a hundred $$ + into the trash and the humidity and temps are so much easier to control with the real deal.. better than any other intake filter I’ve tried so far. It’s an actual 0 cfm loss filter… I have 5 dogs and live in a camper rn so there’s dog hair EVERYWHERE! But I’m running ac infinity fans and am losing 0 cfm if you haven’t tried a 0 cfm loss horti control dust shroom then you’re missing out.. don’t let your tent suck in. The Dust Shroom will NOT Disappoint!!!!

Don’t be cheap buying a dehumidifier. (I made that mistake 🤦) Lesson learned, buy once cry once. I live in NE Ohio. The humidity this summer had been brutal. A while ago I bought a 30ppd and it barely kept 65% running non stop. I just bought a commercial 150 ppd should be here Tuesday. It wasn’t cheap, but I have learned to not step over dollars to pick up pennies! Good luck

I feel ya I have the dehu and I can crank it up but I was hoping ther might be a better trick for getting the dry backs more often and in turn getting the rh down but the dry back is what concerns me most
-
I have 2 circulation fans blowing directly on the cloth pots. That helped me with dryback. I’m in 70/30 coco perlite. But I hand water

Why cant you just leave the tent open? Thats what i do. I have 8 auto pots in a 4×8. Your going to have to get the humidity in your lung room stupid low if u want to keep it zipped up. What kind of tray are you talking about, the autopot tray to grow or u talking about just putting a random pot into the autopot tray?
-
We’ll all my veg and clones are in the open room the tents I use for flower I never had any issues untill I got the auto pots and all is well other then the rh is up and that scares me for I have had but rot in the bast during this summer heat wave

I keep my tents zipped up to keep the light spread evenly throughout the tent if you have the door open your letting the light escape from the growing space and that’s definitely not efficient or effective for your tent grow! My lung room humidity is 60% and my tent humidity stays around 50% with the lights on and 60% in darkness!

The problem comes down to just changing from my old ways and making it work ugh I get stuck in my ways that have proven to work but I guess if I make a change to the grow I need to adjust to whatever changes . But other then that these supply’s are easy to keep up with no complaints there
