hey everyone, so I come seeking either some mindful advice or some reassurance because this sh@! Is literally starting to stress me the hell out to the point I'm losing sleep thinking about it. I'm having trouble lowering my rh in my 4×4×8 grow tent inside my hunting room. I live in TN and it's 70%+ in summer rn and I'm in 5th week of flower and can't get my rh down below 55%. I've tried a big whole room dehumidifier to get it below 50% but it doesn't work and just makes it hot as hell in there like 90 degrees. I got a portable a/c but It makes the humidity go up after the compressor kicks off and just blows condensation.. I tried running both the big dehumidifier and the a/c and the damn breaker flips every time. I'm open to any suggestions i even tried to put a dehumidifier in a cardboard box and connect it to the tent and seal it up but that just sucks the tent in and makes it hot. As of right now I just have a small 200sq foot dehumidifier goin and its staying at 52-55% with oscillating fans and a 6" extraction fan running..should I be sweating about pm or mold??

The dehumidifier is going to pump heat not much you can do about that.

What type of ac do you have? Your going to have to manage the heat. AC will also pull water.

How many circuits do you have?

Can you run an extension cord?

If you can get the lights on one and the AC/dehuey on another should be fine

You may need to upgrade to a 20 amp breaker. Of you only have once circuit available

Have some pics?

I've tried all kinds of stuff. I tried running extension cords from different rooms to spread power usage an keep the breaker from flipping but no luck. It is a 20 amp breaker as and whenever I go to reset it that mf is HOT hot kinda worried me a little lol

The cords are the heavy duty orange ones. I'm assuming 12g. As far as lights I'm running a 3000w king led and 2 floor fans and a canopy fan and a extraction 6" fan. I put the dehuey in the tent and I'm guessing the fan is sucking the air faster than its dehumidifying it which makes sense

The dehumidifiers that I have are a 50 pint whole room that blows hot air and a smaller 20 pint one.
The ac is a portable 9000btu haier.
As far as outlets I'm pretty maxed out

that's the problem I'm having I can't get the room air down. I put the big dehumidifier in an bam Temps shoot way up. I turn the portable ac on and its like it cools it way too fast that it just works against the dehumidifier it seems
