RAM 12L Dehumidifier

What Is The RAM 12-Litre Dehumidifier?

The RAM 12-Litre Dehumidifier is capable of removing up to 12 litres of moisture per day from the air in your grow room. The ability to constantly dehumidify and run the captured water to drain or use the 2-litre tank capacity allows you to choose between managing the dehumidifier or leaving it to do its job. If you use the inbuilt collection tank, the unit automatically switches off once the tank is full.

When Do I Need to Use a Dehumidifier in the Grow Room?

During propagation and vegetation, plants usually grow better with high humidity. When you begin flowering, the humidity levels can be dropped back. Dehumidifiers help you dial in your grow room's humidity levels, helping to stop the cause of damaging moulds, like botrytis and powdery mildew, during flowering.

Garden tip: You can use this dehumidifier in any location around your home to help dry the air. Use it in a room with wet laundry to help pull moisture out of the air and avoid damp.

How Does Air Temperature Affect The Amount of Moisture in the Air?

As plants develop and get larger, they transpire more water, which can quickly lead to the air in your grow room becoming saturated. When the lights go off, temperatures drop, and the air loses its capacity to hold its humidity. The saturated humidity in the air condenses on flowers and fruits. This moisture is the perfect breeding ground for moulds and mildews which, In the worst case, can devastate an entire crop. Using a dehumidifier with a controller to maintain your moisture levels is one of the best ways to get the best results possible.

Every indoor gardener has experienced issues with rot at one point, particularly towards the end of a cycle after having put in all the work. It’s hard to watch all that effort turn to mush & there’s little a gardener can do once affected.

Use The RAM 12L Dehumidifier With An Environment Controller For Precise Control

The RAM 12L Dehumidifier is ideal for controlling the humidity in your growing environment (and any other where you need a dehumidifier). For precise humidity control in your chosen environment, use it with an environmental controller. It'll work tirelessly to prevent damp and mildew, which are the root causes of rot. It is easy to operate with a handy electronic display and offers adjustable dehumidifying levels and a quiet mode. The unit can remove up to 12L per day, with an option for continuous drainage.

You can channel the run-off back into a reservoir to top it up, recycling the collected water. The unit collects water at 0 EC and pH 7.

What Size Grow Rooms are Suitable For the RAM 12L Dehumidifier?

The amount this dehumidifier can cope with depends on how much your plants are transpiring. E.g. 6 plants each using 1L per day will transpire that water into the environment for a total of 6L in each 24hr period. In a closed loop system, the entirety of this moisture needs to be removed, otherwise it can build up over time and cause issues.

In rooms utilising extraction, you can implement a ‘lung room’ whereby the intake air is first dehumidified before passing the plants. Dehumidifiers can also be handy in tents that extract into the same room. With the addition of a source of CO2 and a dehumidifier, the issues associated with extracting within the same room can be negated.

Suggested Humidity Levels For Grow Rooms

Propagation Humidity Level: 70 – 90%

Vegetative Humidity Level: 50 – 70%

Flowering Humidity Level: 40 – 50%
