Are you in a tent?
I am

So is the dehuey in the tent or the room? Either way as long as you aren't intaking air from outside the room, your dehumidifier should have it under control. Check your outside air humidity. If it's as low as it is here, try intaking that.
Dehumidifier is in tent I am taking the cold air from air vent in the roof
If I am to take the air from the room the tents in I have 400+l of water in there for my nutrients

What's your outdoor humidity?

a 50 pt should keep you good unless you have an enormous tent with a shitton of biomatter. Are you using a controller? Don't use the dehu controls use something with a sensor in the tent. You may set your dehu to 55 or so, but if the humidity in the tent is 80 and exhausting into the same room you won't get great results.
Use a controller with a probe inside the tent to turn it on or off.
60 is pretty acceptable to me unless in the last couple weeks of flower (to avoid bud rot)
Don't exhaust into the same room
Keep your exhaust running.
Make sure your exhaust fan is adequately exchanging the air.

Yeah but is your dehumidifier on a probe, like an inkbird hygrometer or something? If it is outside of the tent and you set the humidity, the truth is in order to get your desired humidity you might need to dehumidify your room to 35 percent etc. I mean you said 50 liter dehumidifier, you do mean 50 liters per day? I think you mean pints? a 50 liter dehumidifier would be very very powerful. That's like a commercial dehumidifier like prolly 500 bucks at the cheapest.

Okay, so just to be clear, your intake is fresh air from outside, and your exhaust also goes outside-is your tent more or less isolated from the room it's in? Or do you have any passive intake in addition to the air from outside? Two questions: what is the rh level of the air outside, and also of the room the tent is in?

Yeah, maybe you should consider intaking from your room and de-humidifying the room.
I exhaust to my loft I draw fresh air from outside the outside my tents air is isolated humidity outside is 97% outside the tent it is around 80

Well shit man, you can't use that kind of humid air to intake from. Start intaking from your room and dehumidify the room, rather than the tent imo. Get the room below 50 percent humidity that the tent is in and draw your air in from there. You are pulling in fully saturated air!

The temp from the dehuey shouldn't be as bad if you take it out of the tent and put it in the room. Once the dehuey gets the rh down to a controllable level it shouldn't run as much anyways.

Then let your exhaust fan suck the dry air in thru passive vent.
