Bowl of rice can help reduce it

Dehumidifier would help but also increases temps.

What is the ambient RH of the air being drawn into your grow?

I generally try to keep below 50%.

Plenty of exhaust power and oscillating fan movement should keep everything fine.


Test the RH in amongst your plants and confirm you're not getting any higher readings elsewhere.

I've seen instances with less than 50% RH that still got mould in some form due to micro climates between touching leaf surfaces.

50% is pretty premo in my opinion. the only time i would drop below 50 would be the last two weeks of flower

The relative humidity of the air that is being coming into your grow room via the intake.

For example.

If you use a grow tent. Do you exhaust into another room and intake air from the room with the tent in it?

This room with the tent in it would be classed as the "ambient" room.

exhaust from air cooled light, and then intake from the windown on the side and the roof is just bed room air, i just recently added the roof intake becuase i had to much vaccum suction was so powerfull it was tearing stiches, i am in flower and wanted to drop it for the last 3 weeks if i cant no biggie

Do you exhaust into your bedroom?

By switching where your exhaust is with the intake you could lower your temps.

It would remove heat from the tent, out of the window.

As long as your bedroom does not exceed 75F you should be able to keep your tent under 80F.

Ideal though is 75F with your bedroom staying around 70F.
