Looking for basement tent dwellers. My first personal grow as I have been involved in many ops. What's everyone rowing with a tent have to say about high humidity during flowering?

How high? Over 50% and you're asking for trouble with bud rot. 50-60% is okay if you can keep your temps under 75 (85 if CO2-enriched). 30-50% would be much better.

Bud rot even if I'm moving a lot of air ? Can't seem to beat the lights off humidity. I can't intake from the room the get is in as it is a damp basement. Humidity stays at 90+. Fresh air outside the only way I think. I feel I have tried everything

heavy duty dehumidifier? i use one just to be sure i dont go over 45 percent during flowering. one with a drain hose would be best....

always better safe than sorry when you hit the flower stage

Where would I use it? Space is 4x4x6. Really don't want to spend money dehumidifying the basement and drawing air from there. Mold issues as the humidity Is always at 90+

if you plan to use a tent, put the dehumidifer in your tent. it should work great as long as you can seal tent up well. .. and with the drain hose one it can keep pumping water out of room all day and night if needed. just run the drain hose to any drain/ pipe you can find that leads to sewer
