HYDRONE 5, Plant Dehumidifier with 10 Drying Levels, All Climate Performance, for 2-3 Plants
- Compact plant dehumidifier for supporting humidity control in grow tents up to 1 × 1 m, ideal for fine-tuning when the room climate is already controlled.
- Lowers the humidity in the tent specifically below the level of the surrounding room – ideal, for example, for reaching the last percentage points in the flowering stage.
- Important: for control based on humidity or VPD, the HYDRONE 5 requires a compatible AC Infinity controller, for example the CONTROLLER AI+. Without a controller, it runs only at a fixed level. The controller is not included.
- 10 dehumidification levels instead of simple on/off: the proprietary PWM-controlled rotary motor (PWM: pulse-width modulation) modulates output and keeps humidity and VPD (vapor pressure deficit) in the tent more stable than a compressor unit.
- The exhaust port allows dry air to be supplied to the grow tent via a duct, while the optional intake port supports an efficient closed air loop within the setup.
Product Description
The HYDRONE 5 is a compact plant dehumidifier for targeted support of humidity control in the grow tent.
It plays to its strengths when the room in which the grow tent stands already has a controlled climate: the HYDRONE 5 then brings the humidity in the tent specifically below the level of the room. This makes it ideal for fine-tuning the tent climate – for example in the flowering stage, when the last percentage points matter.
Controller Required for Regulation
On/off and the 10 dehumidification levels can be set on the device itself. Regulation based on humidity or VPD is only possible with a compatible AC Infinity controller, for example the CONTROLLER AI+. The controller is not included.

PWM-CONTROLLED ROTARY MOTOR
Why 10 Levels Instead of On/Off?
A compressor dehumidifier knows only two states: on or off. In a grow tent, this leads to constant ups and downs in humidity – and therefore in VPD. The HYDRONE 5 works differently: its PWM-controlled rotary motor can be regulated in 10 levels and responds instantly.
The dry air is supplied directly into the tent via the exhaust port; with the CONTROLLER AI+, the HYDRONE 5 adjusts automatically in VPD mode. This keeps the tent climate considerably more stable than is possible with a simple on/off device.
Heat Output and VPD
By design, the HYDRONE 5 produces somewhat more heat than a compressor unit; the dry air enters the tent correspondingly warm. In combination with the exhaust (for example CLOUDLINE), this is usually compensated without any problems during operation. A slight increase in temperature in the tent is also not necessarily a disadvantage: as temperature rises at the same humidity, the VPD value also rises, which is often desired in the flowering stage. Moderately raised tent temperatures are therefore usually not critical; toward the end of the flowering stage, however, the temperature should be lowered again. Temperature should always be monitored as well and regulated via the exhaust.
Control and Controller Connection
An integrated UIS™ port (UIS: Universal Infinity System) allows connection to compatible AC Infinity smart controllers. Depending on the controller used, WiFi app access, humidity and VPD automations, AI-powered climate control, data charts, notifications, grow guides and other features are available. Automatic restoration of the last settings after a power failure supports reliable operation.
Flexible Air Routing
Thanks to the dual duct ports, dry air can be directed into the grow tent via an exhaust duct. The optional intake port can be used to support a more efficient air loop within the setup.
Prepared for Drainage
The drainage-ready design features an internal water reservoir and an optional gravity drain hose for clean, low-maintenance operation.
Recommended Combination: Room + Tent
With air exchange only – that is, when the exhaust (for example CLOUDLINE) draws fresh air from the room into the tent – the air in the tent is always somewhat more humid than in the room, because the plants constantly release moisture. To reach, for example, 50 % in the tent during flowering, the room would have to be dried to about 45 % or even lower – otherwise it cannot be achieved even with the exhaust at its highest level. The HYDRONE 5 reverses this relationship: it supplies dry air directly into the tent, so the humidity in the tent can be lower than in the room.
What matters is that the humidity in the room where the tent stands (surrounding room) does not permanently rise above 62 %.
Relative humidity:
Ventilation or a compressor dehumidifier handles the volume of water.
The HYDRONE 5 provides the precision.
There are two ways to achieve this:
Ventilation: A room with sufficient air exchange – for example via a window that can be opened – removes the moisture from the tent exhaust on its own.
Compressor dehumidifier: In closed or poorly ventilated rooms, a conventional compressor dehumidifier keeps the room at a maximum of 62 %. It does not need to dehumidify heavily, only to handle the base load.
In both cases, the HYDRONE 5 takes over fine regulation in the tent and can control it to 50 % or even lower. Each element works in its own range: ventilation or the compressor handles the volume of water, while the HYDRONE 5 provides the precision – and can play to exactly what sets it apart from a compressor unit.
Recommended for
- Small to medium grow tents up to 1 × 1 m.
- Fine regulation of humidity and VPD in the tent, even down to 50 % and below.
- Rooms in which humidity does not permanently rise above 62 % – either through sufficient ventilation or through a compressor dehumidifier that keeps the room at this level.
- Fine-tuning when the last percentage points of humidity are missing in the tent.
- Users who want to supplement their existing climate control.
Not designed for
- Closed rooms without ventilation or additional dehumidification of the surrounding room.
- Setups with high plant mass and a high daily evaporation volume – here the HYDRONE 7 is the right choice.
- Use as a stand-alone dehumidifier for the entire room.
Larger Tent? HYDRONE 7
For larger tents from 120 × 120 to 150 × 150 cm and higher plant mass, we recommend the HYDRONE 7. The same applies here: the humidity in the surrounding room should be at most 62 %.
About the HYDRONE 7Note on use in a single-loop or closed-loop system
The HYDRONE 5 can be used as support in a single-loop setup (simple air loop) or closed-loop setup (closed air loop) if the moisture load of the entire system remains manageable and the surrounding room is already sufficiently controlled.
In a single-loop setup, dry air is supplied to the grow tent via the exhaust port. At the same time, air continues to be removed from the tent via an exhaust system such as CLOUDLINE to carry away heat and support air exchange. However, this means that humid air still enters the surrounding room. If this room is not sufficiently dehumidified or ventilated, the humidity in the surrounding room continues to rise. For the HYDRONE 5 to maintain its target values in the tent, the room should therefore be ventilated or dehumidified.
In a closed-loop setup with connected intake and exhaust ducts, the air can be routed more precisely within the system. Nevertheless, the same applies here: the HYDRONE 5 is designed for fine regulation in the tent, not for high daily water volumes. Temperature should still be actively monitored and regulated as needed via a ventilation system such as CLOUDLINE. For best results, control in VPD mode with the CONTROLLER AI+ is recommended.
