I need to keep the humidity down in my grow room, especially during the flowering cycle. But when running a dehumidifier, the temperature always spikes above 80°. How can I resolve this issue?

Use an ac not a dehumidifier and condition the air in the room the tent is in so the tent is sucking in cool 72 degree air will also keep you humidity between 45 and 60 hr through the day and night

You could increase air exchange, bigger fan and move more air

They say it removes moisture but my house thermostat reads high rh it will lower it a little but not enough for my needs. Im stuck in same situation for the summer.

When they say we feel it during these months they aint lying, its outdoor season lol.

I open door and have 16” fan blow air into the room it cools it to 75-78F instead of 82-90F literally. My rh is like 55-60.

I guess cutting holes in my door to exaust outside isnt for nothing, just not when ac is needed but I can put a pc fan in it. Im about to order one.

Well thats because I set up in small bedroom upstairs after finding I cant vent outside.. It was said its best to grow in basement but youll prob have cold problems but not hard to fix.

I invested too much but if you didnt Id highly suggest setting up in basement if you have one.

I'm fine during veg, but trying to keep RH around 40% during late flower seems impossible
