I asked this same question about a week or 10 days ago and got a few responses.

The input I received was to buy a de-humidifier and increase air circulation. I improved circulation and mine is back within reasonable ranges.

Yeah, definitely go for another fan. The air movement & circulation, especially if you can bring new air in (and don't live in a super humid climate)... That will definitely help bring the humidity down some. Not sure if that will be enough though.

Ventilation will help indeed.. But, i think you'll need to get some money together and grab that dehumidifier..

I run a bunch of dwc bubbler buckets, and my humidity was near 80%!!!!

I grabbed a dehumidifier, its now in the 40's... and tats great considering I have a grip buckets of water in a bedroom.

Think thats your only option.

No, I've done .6gram/watt with humidity at a constant 60-63%. That being said I'd have prolly done 10% better with 40-50% humidity. It's important, but it isnt a gamebreaker. One really huge issue with the 60%+ humidity is that when you have your room at 80 degrees you have made one hell of a mite farm. I've seen slight outbreaks of mites turn into infestations when temps go from 75 to 80, and humidity got from 50 to 60%. Bugs just THRIVE at the higher ends of temp/humidity.
