Dehumidifier or not

Hello everyone I'm having trouble with humidity and I'm about to harvest


I keep adjusting the temparture in the room with A/C to try to make the humidity lower but it fluctuates a lot stil

Temparure : 70F

Room RH:
High: 65
Low: 50

Do I need a dehumidifier for drying my harvest ? Any tips on maybe help lowering it using temp control in room?

This is about the same humidity I deal with in my rooms. Night will go 60-65 max - days will go back down to 40 with Lights on. (AC always on) I was worried about molding - drying issues. Have had two runs with no big issues related to Humidity. The drying process went fine for me with some air circulation but not too much to the point of drying too quick. Getting a dehumidifier might be a smarter choice but just here to reassure you I didn't run into big issues with similar Humidity.

I often dry buds on a rack in my room, with the room sometimes 70% RH.
Then I started looking under a microscope at my buds, and I could see the mold starting up, before they were even harvested!
Little web-like strands connecting up trichromes.
I got a dehumidifier, which helped. Then winter came along and the RH stayed down by itself.

Your right I'll prob just get a dehumidifier just to stop worrying about it . But it's starting to get colder here but who knows how consistent it will be


But dehumidifier are over $100 little pricey

if a mold free harvest is important to you then atmosphere controls are paramount for the indoor garden and separate drying space.
anything less than control leaves the whole thing up to guesswork and prayer, about a 50/50 shot
