Ok, I have a waterfarm drip system growing under my house in a crawlspace. Its not a shitty crawlspace grow i actually put some time into it. I have lined with this shiny black tarp thats white on the inside for reflectivity. Today i realized that my humidity was 80% and there was a tiny bit of algae growing on the hydroton. How do i decrease the humidity in there?
Thanks

get a dehumidifier or get some good vent system in place.

More air circulation is the easiest way

Algae needs LIGHT to grow, I use COVERS on my grow cups so LIGHT can not hit the hydroton rocks or rockwool cubes.

im not using the rockwool cube, im using a little soil started cube thing that you stick into the hydroton and theres a little tiny bit of algae growing on the cube, not much at all though

so an extra fan or a dehumidifier should work fine?
