Humidity

I have a grow room in my closet and I switched the lites to 12/12 a few days ago. I have (2) 200watt CFL's

When the lites come on in the evening the Humidity is somewhere around 70% and the temp is the mid 60's. I have a 130cfm exhaust fan as well as a 6 inch flexible duct in there for fresh air input.

My question is should I use a heater, or a dehumidifier?

Any suggestions are welcome

ok man you need to lower your humidity to about 50..i like my humidity to about 30-40% when budding because when you have less humidity in your room you dont have as good of chance to get bud rot and your plant thinks its being stressed and produces more trichombs as a reaction from lower humidity. and as for your temp you need to raise it to about 70-75 degrees .F. and unless you are trying to stress your plant and turn it purple by lowering the temp. i would raise it..so yeah a heater could bring it up but i would pay really really close attention to it. and yeah it sounds like you need a dehumidifier unless you know that you can take it out without one. when the temp raises the humidity drops..when the temp lowers the humidity raises. * not 100% sure* but make a few changes and tell me whats up and i will try to help you again...you might need more light for bigger buds, cuz with only two 200W CFL's i dont think you will get what you would like with that little of light...i would go with a 430W son-agrow light..i use two of them and get massive rock hard all organic buds...and its because that type of light puts off 73000 lumens..which is like unheard of..(i think lol)...but yeah just increase your CFL count with the same 200W ones and i would say add about 6 more...and have 4 over top like 2 inches from foliage and one shining under the plant in every corner of the plant...so like uper left and uper right and lower left and lower right...get it?.....pretty much you want a CFL anywhere where there is foliage..:) hope this helps
