When lights are off humidity gets high like 70-73, when lights on everything is great. Im growing in a 4x2x5 tent i have 2 vivosun exhaust fans one for exhaust and one pullin in fresh air. Also have 3 vivosun oscillating fans inside tent, also have a dehumidifier in tent set to 45%, my intake fan i have pulling air from portable ac unit outside of tent. So with me having,
- 2 inline fans
-3 oscillating fans

It’s because your exhaust is pulling the humid air through the tent quicker than the de humidifier can keep up any way you can put the dehuey outside the tent and condition the intake air?

So my intake i have set up with hose going just inside tent then the hose on other side i have sitting right on the ac vent, and that is coming in the bottom right of tent. Then the exhaust hose just inside of top left corner of tent and hose on other end is ran out of the closet. I have curtains covering closet instead of the doors so its basically shut in closet, i can sent the dehumidy outside on side of tent. Another thing i dont have any of the vents open along bottom cause i have the air being pushed and pulled. My inline fans fo have settings from 0-10

The dehumidifier will not keep up with that much air exchange. Unless the air out side of your tent is dryer. Try running the ac and dehumidifier in the lung room instead.

Thing is the dehumidifier is smaller. I can adjust the flow of air going and leaving the tent tho

Well crank up the exhaust and movement inside the tent see if that helps I grow in high humidity a fair bit I’m in an uninsulated tin shed I mitigate it by having the fans inside my tent full cranking it’s like a mini hurricane in there end of flower my leaves do look a little banged up right near the fans but ya don’t smoke them Or get a bigger dehuey it’s not the greatest advice to blow ya plants around like all hell ya really should condition the lung room air
