Where is your humidity probe?

Shut the AC off for a day. Remember RH is relative humidity. Relative to temp.

What's the temp set to for the AC?

The humidity makes perfect sense with that placement. The humid air from transpiration is moving up and out so of course it will be higher and your temp and humidity sensor should be at or just below canopy level OUT of the light.

Change the humidity settings g on the dehuey to 55-60 on continuous operation or the thi g will run non-stop.

This is why controllers are used and probe placement is important.

Those AC and dehumidifiers take readings internally and are far less accurate.

This is not an easy thing to fix when not using controllers and probes you can properly space.

Well I can't say cause your reading are from a probe improperly placed.

It's not room temls that matter anyhow. It's leaf temps.
