Will an active intake lower my humidity or temps? It's been very hot and humid the past few weeks and I'm about 4 weeks into flower. I've thought about using a dehumidifier but they're very expensive and I've heard they put off a decent amount of heat. My temps have been around 81-85 and humidity has been between 65-70. I feel that both these numbers are too high for flowering and I'd like to find a way to lower them(especially the humidity) for the final few weeks. Also, although I haven't seen any mold the plants seem to be "sweating" constantly and have a semi-strange/bad smell that I can only pray isn't mold. But they aren't very big or dense yet so I'm hoping they are just going through changes in smell. I'm running a dwc setup with a 600w cooltube and a passive intake using a 340cfm inline fan with a carbon filter. All in a GL120(4'x4'x6'7") I was looking into purchasing an 8" ecoplus axial fan for an active intake but they state(647cfm) which would I think would create a positive intake and cause smell issues. Would this or a smaller intake fan be of any help or should I just continue using the passive intake? I can also use a portable air conditioner if I have no other option but I'd rather not due to electricity costs. Any suggestions are welcome.
