So I recently removed my dehumidifier because of the amount of heat that it was putting into my room I have an AC unit running around 70 degrees but my humidity is reaching close to 60%. I have air moving around and an inline pulling the heat out. It's extra humid this past week and it's not always an issue. Temps are stay around 75 with it being 87 outside. Will be OK or should I put the dehumidifier back in. Any comments and criticism are welcome I'm in week 4 of flowering. *Cheers and thanks*

Here's my 2 cents worth, Too high humidity can contribute to bud rot. Your temps are fine so I would rather suffer a few degrees extra heat than a higher chance of bud rot. I would of thought in week 4 you would want 50% max RH lowering to 40% at the end of flower.

Up to week 4 of flowering I would go for 60% RH, but later on I really wouldn't skip on any of these parameters as it can really show in the final results.

It got up to 84f and 56%rh yesterday so I popped the DH in the adjoining room to the flowering room and popped two more fans in the flowering room for a little more air movement. Cheers and thanks again to all :)

VPD charts are wonderful but there has not yet been one made for cannabis. They are for other plants and in most cases do not apply to what we do. So if ya follow it and have issues, suspect the VPD thing first

True, its probably strain dependant also.

As far as I know about it, light, humidity and temperature are all important in maintaining plants. I have read, that plants can grow more in the temperature range of 20-28°C.It is also important to consider the importance of humidity in grow room management.
