Humidity HELP!

Hey so I'm in the second week of flower and humidity averages around 60%. I have already utilised every ghetto method I could think of (humidity bags etc) as well as a small £25 dehumidifier. This has all had a minimal effect. From what I read my dehumidifier isn't good enough. So my question I ask is should I be aiming to dehumidify the room the tent is in or aiming to get something compact enough for the box (this is what I tried with th cheap one)? Any recommendations would be great. 1mx1m tent btw with 7 pots under led

I have same issue. The air exchange in my tent doesnt allow for my dehu to be effective.

It does seem a lil better using it outside the tent

Yeah Chemphlegm got the right idea... Gotta get a real deal dehumidifier... Then you gotta deal with the heat that throws off... Nobody said it was eaaasssssyyyy...

I set mine to run when lights are off... Keeps Temps fairly steady.

A real dehumidifier is going to be expensive because of what they do and the components required. I would suggest spending a decent amount at a hardware store for a real dehumidifier. Personally, I bought a large whole home dehumidifier from april aire for about $1,200. Works really well. and it keeps my basement nice and dry.

What kind of light are you using? I ask because we can have 65+% rh on average in winter. And my grow cab sits about 45% rh with 200w cobs going.

Probably better to have a bigger dehuey in the room you grow in. Saves you taking up valuable grow space.
