Winter grow, oil space heater in closet. Question regarding humidity.
    #28630659 - 01/22/24 04:49 AM (6 days, 3 hours ago)



Hi there,

I have set up a winter grow closet. A mini oil heater in below compartment and above a grow space in upper compartment. Some of the  the beams between compartments removed for heat to flow up.

I can get temps to a steady 22C/71F . House temps low 50s 11C.

I'm going to insulate the walls with foam for more efficiency.

A Concern is things drying out with the application of artificial heat. What do you think?

I've read that oil heaters dry out the air less.

My device reads RH 49% .

Do you think I need to hang up a wet towel or get a humidifier? Or should it be fine as is?

Great to hear from someone doing similar.

It might be ok being as it's in the other compartment. That being said, you could just leave the heater outside of the closet to gently heat the room instead if you're concerned about drying out.
Should be fine as long as you're not directly heating your tubs.

:whathesaid:
I would probably also start with the heater outside the closet and measure the temps that gives you.

Thanks , the whole idea of heater in closet is economics , cheaper to heat a small space than a room. I could heat a room but not sure it'd be economical for my small shoebox projects
