there's other models out there too.

I think you’re “done” with this bud. Many a threads are on here with “what to do” ideas.

Look to set this up ASAP and next run to get humidity in the 45%.

Set the controller to 45%, plug the fan into it, and she’ll watch the tent 24/7

Canada here, it was just -40c a week ago now it's +9c. Humidity and temp are killers, literally. Try one of these and an oil radiator type heater w your fan blowing through it.

We're in the same tent size. What are you using for a humidifier and Dehumidifier?

Adjustable controls on the inline fan are a godsend.

Inkbird

Humidifier

The AC unit will act as a dehumidifier as well. I got a 12k btu device that I keep in the tent and I vent the hot air from it into the duct that pulls heat through my lamp and out through the carbon filter into my laundry room. Similar to this one.

This setup has been flawless in my 5x5x7.

I use this small dehumidifier because it works in low temps.

And I have that on a humidity controller set to turn it on above 75 Rh.

The fridge is on a temp controller that turns it on above 57 and shuts it off at 55degrees

will clear your humidity out in a minute or two. get a cheaper humidistat if you want, just needs to turn on and off at a set point, but the inkbird is a good value.

I was thinking about this, but I had the option of starting my worm bins inside so I did.

For outside, the trick like you said is to keep them moist. If I were going to setup something outside I would setup some form of automatic misting system or "irrigation" system.

Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Ancnoble-GG-005C-1-Irrigation-Controller-Moisture/dp/B00AKQ91CW/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=moisture+controller&qid=1563981062&s=gateway&sr=8-15

or this with a valve.

I also just installed a pretty smart Sprinkler controller that can increase and decrease watering time based on outside temperatures. I was thinking about setting up a zone with a misting system for the wormies and just would have to figure out the right amount of time for the system to run each day. This idea is not as good as having some form of moisture sensor though.

Do you also use batteries? It wasn't clear from the documentation whether batteries would get charged, or perhaps overcharged, if they had 5V running in on USB. I put alarm wire out to each multisensor, as I was already running a ton of that everywhere, but the long power wires could end up needing a voltage regulator or a capacitor at the end if multisensors use power in big fits and starts.

I'm still building my house, so I've not put everything to the test, but I provided wiring to use an "INKBIRD" controller in my steam shower, which appears to able to activate for a programmable minimum duration with a programmable delay after detecting high humidity.

For a steam shower, I was worried that something like the Aeotec Multisensor might suffer damage with 100% humidity plus condensation, and thought that putting just the humidity sensor inside the exhaust vent pipe was where I wanted to go. I didn't want to subject a 110V circuit to that environment either, so the Decora-based switches weren't my choice either. Your insight that humidity might vary enough that a single threshold doesn't work does make me reconsider, and worry about whether the Panasonic DC fans with add-on humidity sensors that I already paid for and have installed are going to work. If the prebuilt devices are going to retain any smart-device street cred, perhaps they should also be looking for trend-lines rather than a fixed threshold - their puny documentation doesn't make little details like this clear.

My "Hail Mary" backup plan would be to use a flood sensor to detect someone taking a shower.

Haven't grown my koji yet because I'm on vacation, but here's what I purchased and it all works:

Hey I use two things Evergreen Humidifier and the Ink Bird Humidity Controller . They are pretty easy to work and I have to maybe top off the water once every week.

Here is one that does both temp and Humidity.

I have one of those mini de-humidifiers hiding in the back corner connected to this humidity controller

I’m keeping my humidity at 60% right now because that mini de-humidifier won’t push it any lower. I plan on get 1 maybe 2 more of those minis before I start flower because I want strictly 50% RH

[use this along with a real can fan] (https://www.amazon.com/Humidity-Controller-Inkbird-Humidistat-Pre-wired/dp/B01J1E5LWM/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1543439892&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=humidistat+fan&psc=1)
