Humidity

Hey everyone. So I'm about to switch to flower in my tent and having some issues keeping down the humidity. I dont know what to do cuz I don't want the buds to mold and this whole thing go to shit my first run. I have a 2x2x4 tent, cloudline s4 exhaust, 1 small fan connected to ducting going into a vent hole near the top on the side, a 6" fan blowing through the grated part of the lower side of the tent and another small fan pushing air around inside the tent. I bought a dehumidifier and it is pulling moisture from the air, but its not getting it anywhere near where I need it. My average humidity is 55%-60% when the light is on and I know I need it in the 40%-50% range. Any suggestions on how to tackle this?

thats fine i just went through it no problem if it gets high air the tent out a bit just shoot for under 65% you will be ok just check it as much as possible and dont worry check for fucking spider mites though trust me

Okay cool im not trippin so much then lol. And I dont understand how spidermites come about? My tent is in my room almost the farthest spot from the front door, no outdoor animals, I dont understand how they infest grow spaces.

You can’t dehumidify a tent. You can raise humidity inside one easily enough. You need to try dehumidify the room and that requires a little sealing to accomplish.

If your attempting to dehumidify a tent it won’t work as it will constantly pull air from outside of the tent. That’s why he’s saying dehumidify the entire room and try to seal it the best you can. This way the tent will suck the air in from the room at the proper rh.

Oooooooooohhh. Would totally make sense why I thought he was nuts at first lol my basement temp and Rh is 72 f and 30rh day and 68 night and 25rh my tent stays at 80 f and 70 rh.... when the gets too high I open the flap to allow more air , but the room rh is lower thus helping dry the air in the tent . If I’m correct in what I’m saying lol sorry super lit ! However if this is the case than , if making room temp and rh the same as tent , umm what the hell is the point of a tent ? I should just use the room ?
