I've been looking into space heaters and de-humidifiers but I wondered if a little oil heater will help reduce humidity enough in my grow area. I just want to know the cheapest and most effective fix for this, and if it is a de-humidifier than thats what I will get.
dehumidifiers can be had for $75-100 shipped on ebay. An oil heater is just going to add additional heat. The humidity will probably still be there. If you want to go the burning route then you might as well get one of those gas burners that make CO2.
