HPS and MH

Wouldnt you expect the high heat from HPS to "burn off" the humidity? Everytime my lights go on there is a 10% drop in humidity.
 
if your overall air temp without lights on are high and you light the room up yes it will drop some but your overall RH will still be high,
so geting good fresh air and droping your overall temps will lower RH all together

How can you "burn up" humidity? Humidity is a result of evaporated water... you can't evaporate evaporated water. And "burning up" things doesn't make them disappear
 
Thats why I used parenthesis as I was not sure how to call this phenomena and the statement was posed as a question. I see your point and yeah it cant just disappear into some other dimension, I just noticed that when the temps rise the humidity tends to drop and it is also advised to use a heater in order to drop humidity so I duno if it is due to the fact that warmer air is able to accommodate more humidity or some other reason, so if you could explain this relationship I would really appreciate it!

happy growing!
